    You guys are the most consistently funny and entertaining channel I've experienced, and I wish more people knew about its existence. I tell my friends about you guys as often as possible. The clever and brilliant Welcome to the Basement episodes, and the hilarious B&BG episodes, I love it all. There's something here for everyone. Anyway, I'm so thankful for everyone who goes the extra step to support you guys through Patreon and such, I hope you guys continue for many years to come.

    Me and two buddies moved into a crappy rental house right after high school in 1990 and this movie standee was our first piece of interior design. Come to find out we soon came to be known by the local police as "The Party House". Man, what I would give to go back for just one weekend.
    At the time we thought the movie was like a punk beat poet masterpiece. It hasn't aged really well but the soundtrack does still rock. Concrete Blonde is still one of my favorite bands.

    I graduated HS in 1981 and I loved this movie. We definitely had clicks back then. I loved this movie I wish they would have made it in 10 years earlier. The Breakfast club was a few years after I graduated and I thought that was ok, but this movie was a lot better. I guess our movie would have been Rock n' Roll HS. The Ramones, I'll take some Ramones. Great show. Catching up on the episodes is a load of fun. Instant subscribe!!

    And with being a teen closely in my rearview, I can say that yes, late 90’s/early 2000’s babies do ponder conformity and the system, and if cliquish behavior in the 80’s really was as bad as it was in the movies, then I would say cliques have more than slightly dissolved, but are still present

      I wouldn't say the cliques (subcultures) have dissolved, they have just become less totalitarian. People can now join different subcultures, even while staying "conformant". Culture and conformity are not as strongly linked as then.

      Remembering the 2000's hs experience. The cliques were there jock, nerd, anime, goth, punk, whatever the black kids were into, and just regulars. Overall it felt like you weren't necessarily forced to join a clique it was more of a natural attraction or because your friends were part of that group.

    The ending of the Florida Project is fantastic. It's an example of the "transcendental style" of filmmaking that Paul Schrader wrote about in his book. He did something similar with the levitation scene in First Reformed.

  • @KMathias90
    @KMathias90 6 лет назад +1

    This is one of those movies that couldn't work today, because the internet has become such a huge sounding board for self-expression that a radio show like that would have no cause to exist. I feel like the internet has also been a part of the dissolution of a lot of the stereotypical "cliques" from 80s and 90s teen movies, because it helped people be less afraid to live genuinely and have varied interests. It's really interesting to think about.

So thanks, Matt and Craig!

  • @patchwork_girl
    @patchwork_girl 6 лет назад +3

    Hey Matt, to somewhat answer your question about modern cliques, the answer is both yes and no. I graduated high school in 2015 from a school of about 4,000 kids. That being said, cliques we're hardly present at all for me. There were the anime kids and the more athletic kids who stuck together, but they were never really in large groups like I see in a lot of teen films. Usually people just minded their own business. My girlfriend on the other hand graduated from a highschool MUCH smaller out in the country. She claims that there were very distinct cliques, and a lot of bullying. My guess is that our experiences were so different because her classmates had much less privacy, and the nerds couldn't really go unnoticed like in my school.

    I graduated high school the year this movie came out, and I'll tell ya, me and all my little goth/punk/indie friends loved the everlovin' crap out of it. Just hit us right in our anti-authority centers, plus the soundtrack was effing rad (Leonard Cohen, Peter Murphy, Pixies, Concrete Blonde, Henry Rollins, Sonic Youth, Cowboy Junkies...YES PLEASE). You guys also mentioned Heathers, another awesome movie that really resonated; I think we were quoting lines from that for the next ten years or so. On a related note, I just rewatched Heathers a couple weeks ago and it's still a great movie, though damn, I feel like there are some scenes in there you probably wouldn't get away with putting in a movie nowadays, especially all the school shooting stuff.

    I'm convinced that the (sort of) first high school I attended was looking for any excuse to get rid of students that would bring down the average.
    In fact, the councilor who dealt with me and my low grades specifically said I'd be expelled if I didn't start performing better. Turned out I was a teenager, so instead of getting my act together independent of adult guidance or accommodation, I forced him to follow through with the threat. After that school year ended, despite what he said, I was mailed a registration catalog from the school and so started attending the next year, right up until I caught the administration's attention and was told to my face to get out. Obviously the rest of the admin hadn't been informed of my expulsion.
    And that was the first of my many life lessons showing the strangely comforting fact that most adults, even ones who have been in the same career for generations, are just as lost and confused as I feel now that I'm among them.

    additionally, as someone who spends most of his time with 19-22 yr olds (went back to college and live on campus and most of my friends are much younger) I can tell you that the term "hard-on" is not quite as dated as you may think. also @craig, a chubby and a hard on are not the same thing.

    Many tv series have gone from comedy to drama, notably The Andy Griffith Show later called "Andy of Mayberry". It seems like the writers who made these series to be fun at the outsetting somehow were displaced by maudlin writers. Maybe it was by the efforts of the new writers finagling their ways into successful productions that they didn't create? Or some other thing happening?
    Beverly Hillbillies creator always used genuine Ozarkian folkways and vernacular. When he stopped, his replacements ordinarily featured the theme of Granny using witchcraft and absurd superstitions.
