  • Christian Slater is rejected.
  • Honda Elite scooters are endorsed and Lou Reed’s 1985 advertisement is recalled.
  • Billie Jean’s self-haircut is called unmatched and immediately iconic, leading to COVID haircut memories.
  • Peter Coyote is weighed against Ken Burns narration and E.T.; E.T. is preferred.
  • Billie Jeans prompt comparison of the film, song and tennis player, with uncertainty about the filmmakers’ reaction to the shared name and a Billy the Kid interpretation.
  • Fair being fair and short-haired women are proposed; specific haircut memories remain uncertain.
  • Sturby Beach and Corpus Christi movies are endorsed; Yeardley Smith’s apex is The Simpsons, Barry Tubb’s Top Gun, and Keith Gordon’s Christine; Joan of Arc has other peaks.

Approx. transcript time · 00:20:26Read transcript
  • The retrospective list is framed around the speaker’s own high-school years and five favorite high-school movie characters.
  • The five named favorites are Kelly Preston in Secret Admirer and Mischief, Helen Slater in Billie Jean, Joyce [transcribed Heiser] in Just One of the Guys, an garbled Karate Kid actress, and Mia Sarah in Ferris Bueller.
  • Jennifer Gray in Ferris Bueller is added.
  • Rebecca D. Moray in Risky Business is excluded because her character is not in high school; Molly Ringwald was not a favorite, and Sean Young in Stripes is excluded as an adult.
  • Winona Rader in Lucas and Amanda Peterson in Can't Buy Me Love are additional examples.

  • Cameron Crow is proposed as peaking here; Almost Famous is countered as his life story and therefore easier material to assemble.
  • This film is proposed as Tom Cruise’s best movie and as the complete Cruise experience; 1996 is accepted as a career year because it also included Mission: Impossible.
  • Kelly Preston, Renee Zellweger, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jonathan Lipnicki, and Bonnie Hunt are all named as peaks.
  • The performer rendered as Jay Moore is treated as a probable peak, with a later agent television show recalled but not named.
  • The performer rendered as Glenn Fry is initially placed above the Eagles and his Miami Vice appearance, then removed after the Miami Vice comparison wins out.
  • Roy Firestone’s Rod Tidwell interview is called his peak.
  • Jerry O'Connell is proposed as peaking here; Stand By Me is raised, but the response prefers his Cush role.
  • The Springsteen soundtrack is nominated over Philadelphia, while the Philadelphia lawyer-office scene is offered as a strong counterexample.
  • Beau Bridges is added as a late-career peak.
  • The Michaels-Deerdorf-Gifford broadcast trio, using the transcript’s observed spelling, and Wayne Fontes’s lobby appearance are added as peaks.
  • Regina King is explicitly rejected as a peak because of better later work.
  • The publisher cameo is considered against the person’s Almost Famous and Perfect appearances without a settled conclusion.
