Welcome, dear listeners, to the Retroist Fast Times at Ridgemont High Podcast! Aloha! Today's episode is dedicated to the iconic 1980s comedy that left a lasting mark on pop culture – Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
To kick things off, I share a delightful anecdote from my days working in a video store, where Fast Times was a beloved video that garnered immense popularity. It was a tape that had to be replaced more frequently than any other, a testament to the film's enduring appeal. Fast Times at Ridgemont High became a staple in the hearts of many, leaving us chuckling and reminiscing about its relatable high school shenanigans.

We discuss the film's talented writer, director, and the stellar ensemble cast that brought the story to life. Each character is vividly etched in our memories, and the film's plot still resonates with audiences across generations.
Beyond the movie, I also touch upon the intriguing world of the TV show spinoff inspired by the film, revealing fascinating behind-the-scenes tidbits that may surprise even the most dedicated fans.
But that's not all! As an extra treat, the podcast welcomes the return of Vic Sage with his brand new segment titled "Why Should I Know This Person."
