Paid in Puke S5E10: Fast Times at Ridgemont High & The Anniversary Party
Episode description
On our series 5 finale, we're doing a double shot of Jennifer Jason Leigh and Phoebe Cates, with Amy Heckerling's 1982 comedy debut, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, written by Cameron Crowe, and 2001's Mumblecore template drama, The Anniversary Party, written and directed by Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Alan Cumming. These two films are spiritual sequels, linked by JJL and Cates' twenty year friendship. Fast Times is also Amy's favorite movie of all time! Both of these films find a perfect balance between the realistic struggles of women in these respective places in their lives, and belly-laugh comedy. Plus hella abortions.
Two movies means we double your pleasure on Meaningful Passages and Lunchtime Polls!
Paid in Puke is taking a break but we'll return soon with Series 6!
