Fearless Pretender Episode 6: "These are all of my favourite then things". Have You Ever Been Ashamed Of Your Parents? / The First Time
Description
This time, Jason and Sam tackle another couple of TV projects from Jennifer Jason Leigh's early 80s career. After School Special "Have You Ever Been Ashamed Of Your Parents?" defies the stereotype of these shows by having some excellent writing and nuanced performances (and, yes, a slightly clunkily inserted moral). TV movie "The First Time" sees Jennifer among a quality cast with some great roles for the film's women, in a story that deals with coming of age from a different angle than Fast Times. Among the topics: Playing an only child convincingly. A co-star with an amazing career path. Everyone should have a grandma like Charlotte in The First Time. Sam HATES the score for one of these.
