Xennial Girl Summer: Fast Times at Ridgemont High Rewatch
Manage episode 499525360 series 3530200
In the final installment of our Xennial Girl Summer Series, we talk about our thoughts on the 1980's teen classic, Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
From Cameron Crowe's writing to Amy Heckerling's directing -- plus ALL of the stars in the making on screen -- there's a lot to discuss.
The film served as a launching pad for so much talent – Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, Forest Whitaker, Nicolas Cage, and Anthony Edwards all appear in early career-defining roles. Which character is your favorite?
Find out what we rate this one on our made-up scale of 5 stars -- and go back and listen to all of our Xennial Girl Summer book and movie episodes.
