Teenager focused movies had more or less been in style since the mid-1950s, but truly exploded into popularity in the 1980s, thanks to films like "The Breakfast Club," "Back to the Future," "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," and more. This trend continued well into the 90s, until a couple of writers got sick of "She's All That," "Save the Last Dance," "Ten Things I Hate About You," and more, and decided to give the teen film genre the skewering it richly deserved. But the question we have is...
Is "Not Another Teen Movie" really that bad?
Join Daniel, returning guest Panda, and newcomer Tall Amanda as they analyze the tropes, shenanigans, and non-stop gags in Chris Evans' debut film, "Not Another Teen Movie!" Will they be able to answer the question, or will they be placed in Saturday detention by Principal Vernon?
