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 (like Over the Edge, Little Darlings and My Bodyguard) to classics like Clueless, Stand By Me and Cruel Intentions.
