High School Slumber Party

Get your ass over the falls and bring every hot dog topping you can think of as it's a Keanu-themed slumber party with former #KeanuClub co-hosts Joey Lewandowski (2 Fast 2 Forever) and Mike Manzi (Third Time's A Charm). Gymnastics expert Jordan Polan-Clarke (Wistful Thinking) is also here to talk all about one of Keanu Reeves's first films, Flying. As the film is in public domain, it has many titles (Dream To Believe, Teenage Dream, I Dream of Flying) and is available for free on YouTube, so there's no excuse for not doing your homework this week. Since this is the spiritual sequel to their original #KeanuClub episode on this movie, you're expected to come to class prepared by also listening to that episode if you have any desire to score an elusive perfect 10!

You are cordially invited to a slumber party with royal implications, as Brian once again welcomes Shawnee Mead to the podcast, this time to chat about Disney's The Princess Diaries. What made this 2001 film a surprise hit was director Gary Marshall and standout acting performances including classic Disney Queen Julie Andrews and the impactful debut of Anne Hathaway. Brian and Shawnee break down all the heart and touching moments in the film that introduced the world to the tiny pear filled Kingdom of Genovia.

Uh, hey, baby, like, High School Slumber Party's favorite married couple, Dan and a very pregnant Autumn Ferrara, rejoins the party to discuss the first animated film featured on the podcast, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. Based on the hit MTV show, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is full of really, really dumb laughs and even bigger memories. Also, find out find out if Autumn gives birth on the live on air!

Brian welcomes back Kate Hudson to the podcast to continue her #Hudson5 series of favorite films with Fear (or, as Kate calls it, Marky Mark in Fear). This time, Brian and Kate welcome an extra special guest to the Slumber Party, Charlie Talbert: the star of the film Angus (which Kate and Brian previously covered). Kate, Brian, and Charlie discuss Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon, roller coaster climaxes, characters' sexual presences, and so much more in this sexually-charged teen thriller.

TEN HUT! Brian welcomes first-time guest, long-time friend and #healthhero Danny Kim (just featured on the cover of Time Magazine) to the podcast to chat about 1998's Small Soldiers. Brian and Dan discuss the early years in their relationship, share some high school memories, and -- of course -- talk toys. Small Soldiers is an action-packed (and maybe misplaced) kids film, so the guys leave no stone unturned on their hunt for the Gorgonites and for what makes this movie so unique. Listen for a live unboxing of a Major Chip Hazard action figure that hasn't been touched in 20-plus years, and find out what Danny really thinks of Kirsten Dunst. DISMISSED!

Grab a bud and a paddle because Brian and returning guest Matt Delhauer are talking about the *iconic* Dazed and Confused. From the kick-ass soundtrack, to the hazing, to the parties, to cruising, and to the unforgettable monologues about George Washington, this Richard Linklater joint has stood the test of time in the hearts of many slumberers. Matt and Brian break down the ensemble cast, swap some high school memories, and -- of course -- chat up the breakout performance of Matthew McConaughey. Alright, alright, alright.

What happens when a recently disavowed mercenary finds out his girlfriend is being harassed by her students at school? He decides to substitute teach her class, of course! Kyle Reinfried (Foodie Films) and Christian Larson (Monkey Club) join the squad for this Monday study session to chat about the 1996 Tom Berenger testosterone-fueled action flick, The Substitute. The guys chat Marc Anthony, jai alai, Ernie Hudson, Papa John's, Luis Guzman, and all the wonderful things that make this Miami film so hot!

When Kate Hudson of Pajiba was last on High School Slumber Party for our Twilight: New Moon episode, she suggested (with the help of some wine) five other non-vampire related films she wanted to be a guest on. The first film we will be covering in what we are now calling "the Hudson five" is Hiding Out: a movie staring a 22-year-old Jon Cryer playing a 29-year-old stockbroker pretending to be a 17-year-old high school student. Confused yet?

High School Slumber Party welcomes in its next hundred episodes with a special Monday study edition! Who better to usher in a new era than Joey Lewandowski (2 Fast 2 Forever), the Godfather of the CageClub Podcast Network, as March Madness continues with a brand new film, The Way Back. While it was in theaters a couple weeks ago, current events have led to a surprise early VOD release for this Ben Affleck vehicle about a basketball coach on the path to redemption.
