Tonight, an 80s all over exclusive interview with the star of Better Off Dead, Bill and Ted,

and the Last American Virgin, Diane Franklin.

And now, your hosts, Drew McQueenie and Scott Weinberg.

Hello everybody. Welcome back to another Patreon episode of 80s all over. I am joined, as always, by my illustrious co-host, Mr. Drew McQueenie. Drew,

how are you? I'm good. It's crazy rainy in Los Angeles. And for the first time in a while,

sitting here in the 80s all over studio, I can't see the Nakatomi Plaza from my window.

We were just briefly talking. And I think that the reason that our guest tonight stood out in the 80s is that she kind of bucked the convention.

She was not either the statuesque blonde.

She was not the frumpy girl next door who turned out to be cute when you looked at her in a certain light.

She was a unique presence in the 80s landscape, and we are elated to sit down and talk to Miss Diane Franklin. Hello.

Hello, you're both totally excellent.

We are going to start off with her cinematic debut, a film that in most worlds might have just vanished as yet another mindless, forgettable teen sex comedy, but there is something

a bit more substantial and a bit more bittersweet about The Last American Virgin.

Diane, I would love to know your take on that film and that ending all these years later.

Oh, my goodness. I have so many things to say about that film.

When you're talking about, you know, sex teen comedies, Virgin was the first one.

And what I mean by that is it was in 1982, that film actually was made.

I mean, although it came out the same time as Fast Times at Richmond High, we did it

first and we shot it first. And when it came out,

this was the beginning of teenagers, playing teenagers. Whereas before, say, in the 70s, they would

have adults playing teenagers. You mean like in Greece where everybody's 44?

Exactly. It's like, what? I know like, like, Carrie, they, you know, they just always seemed older.
