Description

We went into this fearing a sleazy teensploitation skin flick; instead, it's funny, frank look at young people surviving high school and learning about sex and relationships, all set to a killer early 1980s soundtrack. It's also a real "hey, it's that guy!" kind of film, from new stars like Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sean Penn, and Forest Whittaker, to character actors like Vincent Schiavelli, to the first film for Nicholas Cage. It was a real surprise, and one of the best movies we've seen yet for the podcast.

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that.
