The month of August has Corey (@coreyrstarr) and Jonathan (@berkreviews) taking a look at high school movies. Jonathan had never seen Amy Heckerling's film Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), which was released the year he was born. It stars Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Judge Reinhold as they navigate the many struggles of high school. Penn's character Spicoli is iconic from the genre as he plays the stoner surfer dude with no real ambition. Many people consider this a classic coming of age film, but how'd Jonathan and Corey react? Next episode: Election (1999) Corey had never seen Election (1999) directed by Alexander Payne and starring Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein. She picked it for the next high school movie and slightly disappointed Jonathan. He's seen the film twice before and isn't a huge fan of Broderick and some of the story elements. Though he has to watch it for the podcast!  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/berkreviewscom-moviecasts/support
