Fast Times at Ridgemont High (With Special Guest: Matt Mitchell!)
May 20, 2024 Season 1 Episode 30
Justin Orscheln and Ronnie Lathrop

Anticipatory Set: A year after the release of this film, Ronald Reagan sounded the alarm on American education called “A Nation at Risk”: a series of lies and hyperbole that kicked off a narrative of teachers as villains and public education as a failure. Repercussion still felt today. 

Schooled: Former high school teacher and San Diego resident Matt Michell helps Ronnie and Justin learn about California stereotypes versus reality. The mall in this movie is really a supporting character in this movie, and the nostalgia: one can almost smell the chlorine and popcorn. Mr. Hand teaches us the value of coming to class on time. Linda gives terrible sex advice… let’s just say the hosts haven’t eaten carrots since watching the movie. Mike give bad dating advice but is there for a wallet delivery. And Jeff just gets baked. 

Exit Ticket: It’s time once again for the Rose & Thorn ceremony and memories are shared. Ronnie hopes this will be the last such ceremony but doesn’t think that will be the case.
