Description

What happens when George watches an 80s sex comedy? If Porky's was any indication... well let's hope Porky's isn't any indication. Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a critically-lauded nostalgia trip for young and old alike... but will it pass muster with George? And will Nicolas Cage manage to derail his enjoyment? They certainly don't make them like this anymore.
Will George recognize any of the numerous famous actors who made their debut in this indie classic? If Travis loves this movie so much, why doesn't he marry it? Will Dan ever hear "Somebody's Baby" the same way again? Or is he stuck Running on Empty? These Days, you just never know. But you can know... tune in today!

Poor George. He's never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don't stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.
