He came to be the greatest critic of Pop Culture since... 1982?

The X Millennial Man welcomes in First Watch Rewatch to tell you all about a film we need to remember.
The early 1980s saw the rise of the teen sex comedy. "Porky's" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" were critical and commercial success. Cannon films thought, hey we should get into the genre, and in 1982 released "The Last American Virgin". It was quickly forgotten.
