Save the Last Pod

If you woke up tomorrow naked, next to a New York Ranger only to discover you somehow missed the last 17 years of your life, what would you do? This week on Save the Last Pod, we discuss the best case scenario in the kind of time travel/sort of body switching 2004 classic, 13 Going on 30! In this episode, Amy & Dan talk turk on Ben and Jen – rather, Ben and Jens. They discuss the Thriller music video, physical media appreciation (again), class picture day and all things Ruffalo. It’s the 20th anniversary of 13 Going on 30 so, if you haven’t seen it since 2004, pop in the DVD then pop in your earbuds and let us take you back to the early aughts when flip phones ruled and magazine editors still lived in penthouse apartments.

Trigger Warning, Content Warning, Dark Dawson Warning! This week on Save the Last Pod, Dan raises Amy, another angsty teen movie. This time, it may be angstier than last week’s film. It's the 2002 art-house satire RULES OF ATTRACTION! Let’s go!  In this episode, hear how the modern-day restaurant app Dorsia paved the way for the character of Sean Bateman, brother of the one-and-only American Psycho. Amy & Dan also chat about those theme parties you attended in college, the holier-than-thou cast of 7th Heaven, and Dan admits he really wouldn’t leave Amy for Shannyn Sossaman, or would he?  Take a trip in reverse back down memory lane to this tiny college in New Hampshire where television’s good kids, Dawson Leary, Kevin Arnold, and Mary Camden, turn baaaaddd. How else would James Van Der Beek, Fred Savage, and Jessica Biel live in a James Easton Ellis world? Hear this and more on this week’s rager of an episode. Is this podcast all you lust for?

Happy belated Rex Manning Day, y’all! If you know, you know – and since you’re a listener of Save the Last Pod, you probably know.  This week on Save the Last Pod, we’re running on the angst and vibes of the 1995 cult classic, Empire Records! In this episode, Amy & Dan talk about music, baby. They talk soundtracks and physical media. They talk about how music unites us and how vibes are sometimes all you need. They also talk deleted scenes, shaved heads and about how this film almost featured a Spiderman. Load up your 6-disc changer and pop those headphones on and let us transport you back to 90’s Delaware! Hey, how about a 5 star review for your favorite teen movie podcast?

Do you ever wish you could go back in time to your salad days? To the dog days of summer when you desperately needed to learn how to play baseball to make friends and impress your step-dad? This week on Save the Last Pod, it’s a shot of nostalgia with a milk chaser.  In this episode, Amy & Dan are talking about the 1993 pre-teen baseball classic, “The Sandlot”. Listen as your favorite hosts debate why there aren’t any teen baseball movies, discuss the pitch perfect kid casting and disclose how many state championship teams Amy actually played on. You’re killing me, Smalls! Lace up those cleats, pack a fat lip of Big League Chew and let us take you back to 1962, when baseball was America’s pastime. Is this podcast a home run?

This week on Save the Last Pod, we travel to 2006, when the biggest statement of the year was: “John Tucker Must Die.” And that’s ironic because that is the title of our teen movie this week!  It’s the Brittany Snow-Jesse Metcalfe-Ashanti-Jenny McCarthy banger, “JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE.” Let’s go!  In this episode, Amy & Dan pit hip-hop royals Beyonce & Jay-Z and Ashanti & Nelly against one another, talk armpit farts, red thongs, and webcams, and dissect the slightly regressive undertones presented in this female-helmed film. Also, did you hear that they are making a follow-up to this classic? That’s right. The hosts of the hallway also make a bid to Hollywood with their ideas for where to take the second iteration of this teen-revenge comedy. We just hope that Penn Badgley will rock the same hairdo in the sequel. Please and thank you!  Is this podcast a slam dunk? If so, rate us 5 Stars!

A dead dame unravels a tangled web of hot head smack slingers, jocks, stoners, loners and hardboiled gumshoes who scrap it up chasing after a brick of white gold in today’s classic 2005 high school noir, Brick. Listen up, turds, because it’s probably the last high school noir we’ll cover. In this episode, Amy & Dan talk about why they don’t make noirs anymore, as well as JGL’s journey from 3rd Rock to tough guy, and Rian Johnson’s journey from Sundance darling to Knives Out hotboi. Take off those noisy shoes and those tiny glasses, unravel this ball of yarn and let us take you on a journey down this 2005 rabbit hole.

Welp, Oscar season 2024 came and went and no teen movie won the little gold man but that’s ok because we’ve got another episode of Save the Last Pod for ya!  In this episode Amy and Dan recap their Oscar celebrations, look back on the 2023 film scene and reaffirm that there is still love for movies. And maybe next year a raunchy teen movie will take top prize?  This week we dig deep into the vault to bring you an encore episode of WEIRD SCIENCE, the John Hughes movie that most definitely did not earn him an Oscar nomination but was apart of a mega year for his career.  Does this podcast deserve an Oscar?

It’s Oscar Week in Hollywood, dweebs! This week, we honor the Little Gold Man by bringing you to Sacramento circa 2002! That’s right, early aughts are now considered a “period piece,” babe. Released in 2017, it’s the even bigger snub (IMO) from auteur writer/director Greta Gerwig, we’re talking LADY BIRD! In this episode, Amy presses Dan on why he dubbed himself with the name “Fresh,” and our first listener review! Shout-out to KevDogggy, with three G’s. Your favorite Dave Matthews fans also discuss the Chicago River incident, what it was like to grow up in the shadow of 9/11, and that weird feeling of “home” when you must leave yours to feel whole. Yes, we get a little emotional! But don’t worry we still nerd out over Tim-o-tee and laugh at this film’s exquisite, should’ve-won-an-Oscar dialogue. Does this podcast deserve an Oscar?

Last week we covered a progressive Gen Z film about sisterhood, love and friendship that probably doesn’t pass the Bechdel Test, and this week we’re following it up with a Boomer teen movie about a retired colonel and his boy servant that absolutely does not pass the Bechdel Test. There’s a lot of talk about smelling women though. It’s Scent of a Woman! Hooah!  In this episode, Amy & Dan talk Gigli, Wayfair furniture, Al Pacino movies, upstate New York boarding schools and CK One. Snuggle into your bed at the Waldorf Astoria, order a $24 hamburger and let us take you back to 1993 and the role that won Al Pacino his only Academy Award.
