    Ep 34 - Three O'Clock High

    The clock is ticking and that means it is time for a NEW episode of Save the Last Pod! 
    This week, we're delving into a cult-classic that famously lost its backer, Mr. Steven Speilberg, once he saw the final cut. Brace yourself for the David vs. Goliath, anxiety-driven teen romp, “THREE O’CLOCK HIGH!” It's a journey you won't want to miss.
    That’s right prom kings and queens, it's our chance to say, “Meet me out by the bike racks, 3 PM!” In this episode, Amy and Dan discuss real memories of hall brawls, teen bullies, their very noticeable height differences as a married couple, and question the believability of a school store. And, hey, this movie stars Paul Feig, that guy with the 3D glasses from “Back to the Future” and Ferris Bueller’s sister’s friend. You know who they are and if you don’t, come find out! 
    Listen now or get a knuckle sandwich, ya dweebs.

    Ep 233 - 13 Going on 30

    If you woke up tomorrow naked, next to a New York Ranger only to discover you somehow missed the last 17 years of your life, what would you do? This week on Save the Last Pod, we discuss the best case scenario in the kind of time travel/sort of body switching 2004 classic, 13 Going on 30!
    In this episode, Amy & Dan talk turk on Ben and Jen – rather, Ben and Jens. They discuss the Thriller music video, physical media appreciation (again), class picture day and all things Ruffalo. It’s the 20th anniversary of 13 Going on 30 so, if you haven’t seen it since 2004, pop in the DVD then pop in your earbuds and let us take you back to the early aughts when flip phones ruled and magazine editors still lived in penthouse apartments.

    Ep 32 - The Rules of Attraction

    Trigger Warning, Content Warning, Dark Dawson Warning! This week on Save the Last Pod, Dan raises Amy, another angsty teen movie. This time, it may be angstier than last week’s film. It's the 2002 art-house satire RULES OF ATTRACTION! Let’s go! 
    In this episode, hear how the modern-day restaurant app Dorsia paved the way for the character of Sean Bateman, brother of the one-and-only American Psycho. Amy & Dan also chat about those theme parties you attended in college, the holier-than-thou cast of 7th Heaven, and Dan admits he really wouldn’t leave Amy for Shannyn Sossaman, or would he? 
    Take a trip in reverse back down memory lane to this tiny college in New Hampshire where television’s good kids, Dawson Leary, Kevin Arnold, and Mary Camden, turn baaaaddd. How else would James Van Der Beek, Fred Savage, and Jessica Biel live in a James Easton Ellis world? Hear this and more on this week’s rager of an episode.

    Ep 31 - Empire Records

    Happy belated Rex Manning Day, y’all!
    If you know, you know – and since you’re a listener of Save the Last Pod, you probably know.  This week on Save the Last Pod, we’re running on the angst and vibes of the 1995 cult classic, Empire Records!
    In this episode, Amy & Dan talk about music, baby. They talk soundtracks and physical media. They talk about how music unites us and how vibes are sometimes all you need. They also talk deleted scenes, shaved heads and about how this film almost featured a Spiderman. Load up your 6-disc changer and pop those headphones on and let us transport you back to 90’s Delaware!

    Ep 30 - The Sandlot

    Do you ever wish you could go back in time to your salad days? To the dog days of summer when you desperately needed to learn how to play baseball to make friends and impress your step-dad? This week on Save the Last Pod, it’s a shot of nostalgia with a milk chaser. 
    In this episode, Amy & Dan are talking about the 1993 pre-teen baseball classic, “The Sandlot”. Listen as your favorite hosts debate why there aren’t any teen baseball movies, discuss the pitch perfect kid casting and disclose how many state championship teams Amy actually played on. You’re killing me, Smalls! Lace up those cleats, pack a fat lip of Big League Chew and let us take you back to 1962, when baseball was America’s pastime.

    Ep 29 - John Tucker Must Die

    Ep 29 - John Tucker Must Die

    This week on Save the Last Pod, we travel to 2006, when the biggest statement of the year was: “John Tucker Must Die.” And that’s ironic because that is the title of our teen movie this week! 
    It’s the Brittany Snow-Jesse Metcalfe-Ashanti-Jenny McCarthy banger, “JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE.” Let’s go! 
    In this episode, Amy & Dan pit hip-hop royals Beyonce & Jay-Z and Ashanti & Nelly against one another, talk armpit farts, red thongs, and webcams, and dissect the slightly regressive undertones presented in this female-helmed film. Also, did you hear that they are making a follow-up to this classic? That’s right. The hosts of the hallway also make a bid to Hollywood with their ideas for where to take the second iteration of this teen-revenge comedy. We just hope that Penn Badgley will rock the same hairdo in the sequel. Please and thank you!

You’reewelcome ,

The genuine couple banter of which we are not worthy

Amy and Dan are a godsend. When they disagree it gives an slater and Jesse Spannow vibes. They have a beautiful way of seamlessly bouncing between the serious and political to the mundane and personal. The truth and heartfelt commentary shows their love for the genre while also offering beautiful insight and bizarre much welcomed tangents. Please keep the episodes coming and keep sticking to your guns. The differing opinions and interjections show a comfortable couple willing to vulnerably display their relationship and tidbits in a refreshing uniquely them way. Love. The more you listen the more you want to listen
