Ep. 7 - Disturbing Behavior

Hallowteen rolls on as we visit an eerie secluded island in the Pacific Northwest where evil hides in plain sight. It’s Disturbing Behavior!

This week on Save the Last Pod, your favorite Blue Ribbons dish about a classic 1998 James Marsden/Katie Holmes vehicle. In this episode, Amy & Dan discuss spooky folktales, buying beer in high school, and ask what exactly is Cook’s Ridge Trash? Come on out of the boiler-room, turn on the rat-erator and hop on the ferry over to the mainland as listen as we take you through an essential custodial classic.

We love that you’re still listening but why don't you leave us an Apple Podcast rating as well? Just like last week, and the week before, if you leave us a comment telling us what exactly you think a “Lisa” is, we’ll read it on air.

As promised here’s the link to the alternate ending:

Ep. 6 - The Craft

It’s still Hallowteen on STLP and we’re getting pretty scared because we just spent 2 hours in a witches’ coven! We watched The Craft!

This week on Save the Last Pod, your Wiccan buds break down a classic 1996 feminist goth tale. In this episode, Amy & Dan talk about their relationship to witchcraft, Ouija boards, practical snakes and appropriate high school sports to have cheerleaders. Sage the room, make a circle with salt just in case and chant along with us, “Light as a feather, stiff as a board!”

Ep. 4 - Easy A

For the second week in a row, it’s a teenage sex comedy that doesn’t feature any sex. It’s Easy A!

This week on Save the Last Pod, your favorite couple breaks down Emma Stone’s 2010 breakout role.

We're reliving teen movies, from Sixteen Candles to Wild Things and everything in between, so take off those glasses, let that ponytail down and join us every Wednesday for a soak in nostalgia.
