EP 24: Ferris, you scamp (Teen Movies)

This week we going on a wondrous tour of American teen films. From sex comedies to body horror to romantic drama TV dynasties, there’s a lot going on. And we know from experience that these movies can really shape a young impressionable mind, and therefore a whole generation.
