The Summer Olympics is in full swing, and we are celebrating with a teen movie that sheds light on not one but two more modern Olympic sports. Yes, we are talking about surfing and skateboarding and specifically about how a rag-tag group of teen surfers in the Dogtown area of Venice Beach unintentionally innovated and launched skateboarding into the mainstream by sneaking into empty pools during a 1970s-something summer drought. Why, hella, yes we are talking about LORDS OF DOGTOWN. Let’s go!!

In this episode, Amy and Dan welcome back familiar faces to the podcast, talk about the Summer Olympics and the Bone Brigade, and question whether there is room for innovation anywhere in the world anymore. Plus! Amy dishes on what Rob Dyrdek said to her when she interviewed him for a potential job she didn’t get, Heath Ledger’s teeth, who of the cast knew how to skate, and where the real Stacey, Tony, and Jay are now.

Ep 43 - The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

11 Recommendations

While jeans are super American, this movie was not shot anywhere in America, but it stars four American TV show-led sweethearts, and one of them is named America! Have you figured out what movie we are talking about yet? Of course, you have, you are a teen Queen just like us! This week on Save the Last Pod, it's the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants - LET’S GO!

In this episode, Amy & Dan discuss all the dungarees, from mom jeans to J’NCOs and everything in between. They reminisce about their favorite pair, the ones they never splurged for, and find out what Amy’s mom has to do with Dan’s current jean collection. Plus! Amy’s getting so old she forgot when she turned twenty-one, and while it wasn’t the year this movie came out, it wasn’t soon after, which also means this was one teen movie your hosts didn’t see till today. Experience The Sisterhood with fresh eyes almost twenty years later, and maybe someday soon we will even watch the sequel.

Ep 45 - D2: The Mighty Ducks

14 Recommendations

The Summer Olympics are in full swing but, like most good Americans, we’re more excited for the winter games so we can watch hockey – specifically Goodwill Games hockey. This week on Save the Last Pod, it’s a Disney teen movie sequel to the youth sports classic that banged so hard it spawned an NHL franchise. It’s D2: The Mighty Ducks!

In this episode, Amy and Dan welcome back several familiar faces to the podcast, talk about NHL 94, and argue about the origin of the Bash Brothers. Amy also dishes on her favorite Ducks and she debates with Dan: Knucklepuck vs Annexation of Puerto Rico. Why don’t you pour yourself a fat bowl of Wheaties, slip into some Hendricks gear and let us take you back to a time when Iceland was the bad guy.
