It's the final installment of the 1982 Movie Retrospectacle (or Retrospectacular, depending on what we feel like calling it at any given moment)! We round out the four-part series with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The movie that set the mold for all high school movies to come. Or was it? "Hey, I know that dude!"
**Warning: This episode contains some bad words. So, if you don't like that kind of thing...**
