Clueless
It's 1995 and the impossibly rich kids of Beverly Hills are playing matchmaker, wearing Dr. Seuss hats, and navigating teenage life in Amy Heckerling's Clueless! Kevin and Mike tackle the role skateboard kid Travis Birkenstock (played by Breckin Meyer) plays in the film and how that maps to the experience of being "a skateboard kid" in high school. Also discussed: Jane Austen, the stupid late 90s swing revival, whether or not Wallace Shawn patronizes Hardees, and how much they both like this movie.

Thrashin’
Kevin and Mike kick things off by watching Josh Brolin in the 80s skateboard classic Thrashin'! They discuss the proper amount of badass eye makeup to wear to a joust, why Meat Loaf was a weird choice to record the theme song to a movie about skateboarding, Kevin's lack of appreciation for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and whether or not skating off a ramp at 64 miles per hour is something that should be attempted at home. Next week we'll be discussing Amy Heckerling's Clueless.
