    Jeet Heer Retweeted David Weigel

    One of the running themes of the excellent film podcast @griersonleitch is that whenever @williamfleitch & @TimGrierson watch a 1980s comedy they are shocked by various forms of once-acceptable bigotry on display.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1393655664728322052 …

    Have you re-watched any popular 80s comedies? Gay panic, Asian stereotypes, etc etc. There's a whole "Teen Wolf" gag about the Teen Wolf's friend being worried his secret is that he's gay, and he's relieved that he's just a werewolf.

        Just one of the reasons that Real Genius is the superior ‘80s nerd film.

        In 2053, they’ll be watching films where the characters clearly cared nothing about the climate impact of their actions and be stunned at the blindness.

        I rewatched Tradibg Places a few years ago and was shocked to hear so many n-bombs from Dan Akroyd! Like, it was just....okay? Because it didn't feel okay.

        This essay about Fast Times at Ridgemont High, from a young woman's POV at the time, is interesting.https://twitter.com/thehighsign/status/1392198174941630467?s=19 …

        Bill Shea added,

        Dana StevensVerified account @thehighsign
        Because the link I posted earlier to Criterion's gorgeous new edition of Fast Times at Ridgemont High (https://www.criterion.com/films/30464-fast-times-at-ridgemont-high …) required some scrolling/clicking to get to my essay, a couple of people asked how to find it. So you can read it here: https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/7386-fast-times-at-ridgemont-high-a-kid-s-eye-view …

        This is one of the joys of listening to Millennial podcasts for me, they are so appalled by all the offhand sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia etc that used to be everywhere in the culture. I honestly thought we’d never get here 🥲
