This week on Save the Last Pod, we detour the teen movie-watching experience to the art of documentary filmmaking and discuss the newly released feature film from 1980’s teen centerpiece, Andrew McCarthy. A documentary so historical, so thought-provoking it can only be about one thing - the founding teens of teen movies - Emilio! Rob! Judd! Tom! Molly! Ally! Demi! It’s BRATS! The Brat Pack Documentary. Let’s go!!

Amy and Dan delve into Hollywood's generations of teen and young heartthrob factions in this episode. They draw a fascinating line from the Brat Pack to the P-Posse, the Glee Teens, and the newly minted Rat Men. Plus! What they think was missing from the Brat Pack documentary and the ultimate question of them all - who is actually a member of the Brat Pack?

Ep 39 - Camp Nowhere

20 Recommendations

Step back to the summer of 1994, a time when your parents were keen on sending you to computer camp, but you had other plans. You decided to hire a con man, a former drama teacher, to pose as a camp counselor and create your own camp, where the only rule was to have fun. This week on Save the Last Pod, we're taking you back to that unforgettable summer, filled with firecrackers, car repairs, rooftop jumps, and even lima beans! It’s the 30th Anniversary of the nostalgia-inducing, rebellious teen action-comedy, CAMP NOWHERE! Let’s go!!

In this episode, Amy and Dan discuss the future hotties of teen idoldom Jonathan Jackson, Andrew Keegan, and Jessica Alba in their first-ever film credit and where they and the rest of this cast are now. Plus—CULTS! That’s right. We debate the question: Is camp a cult? If Allison Mack is involved, it might just be. Space travel, getting grounded, doctors who wear crop-tops, and 5:15 fly-overs—anything can happen when you are nowhere, including having the greatest summer of your life.

Ep 41 - Summer Catch

16 Recommendations

It’s a long season and we’re in the thick of it. Yes, these are the dog days of Summer, and nobody knows that better than the boys of the Cape Cod Baseball League – there’s no pay, they live like foreign exchange students with host families and they use wooden bats like it’s the 1800’s. This week on Save the Last Pod, it’s the definitive Cape Cod League teen movie – Summer Catch!

In this episode, Amy and Dan debate whether or not Maine is further East than Massachusetts, they reminisce fondly about summers on the Cape, and talk about potential new Summer Olympic sports. Slurp some oysters, wash em down with a Sam Summer Ale and settle in as we talk about a 2001 classic with peak Prinze and peak Biel.
