Paid in Puke S5E10: Fast Times at Ridgemont High & The Anniversary Party

On our series 5 finale, we're doing a double shot of Jennifer
Jason Leigh and Phoebe Cates, with Amy Heckerling's 1982 comedy
debut, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, written by Cameron Crowe,
and 2001's Mumblecore template drama, The Anniversary Party,
written and directed by Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Alan Cumming.
These two films are spiritual sequels, linked by JJL and Cates'
twenty year friendship. Fast Times is also Amy's favorite movie
of all time! Both of these films find a perfect balance between
the realistic struggles of women in these respective places in
their lives, and belly-laugh comedy. Plus hella abortions.


Two movies means we double your pleasure on Meaningful Passages
and Lunchtime Polls!


Paid in Puke is taking a break but we'll return soon with Series
6!
