Whatever Happened to Teen Movies?
Jenna has a problem with modern teen movies. These glossy, slick, monied fantasies about love and sex seem downright alien to her. Meanwhile, Veronica has no idea what she's talking about but is game to chat anyhow.
Listen as the two discuss the evolution of coming of age films from the late 1970s through the 1990s and beyond. Whether or not Jenna succeeds in putting her finger on how and when exactly these films lost their emotional sincerity, the episode is certainly good for some solid movie recommendations – from a world of early Matt Dillon films (such as Over The Edge, Little Darlings and My Bodyguard) to Millennial classics like Clueless, Stand By Me and Cruel Intentions.
A new episode of Notes From the Back Row will be released every other week. If you have a new movie premiering, drop us a line – we might be interested in setting something up with you too!
