“I heartily hurrah this hormonal hagiography.”—Patton Oswalt Just in! TEEN MOVIE HELL: A Crucible of Coming-of-Age Comedies from Animal House to Zapped!, by Mike “McBeardo” McPadden (author of Heavy Metal Movies) published by Bazillion Points. Densely illustrated 360 pages of hundreds of film reviews, heavily opinionated commentary, and archival unseen illustrations! Features contributions by Eddie Deezen (Grease, Midnight Madness, Zapped!), Kat Ellinger (Diabolique), Wendy McClure (The Wilder Life), Katie Rife (The Onion AV Club), Samm Deighan (Diabolique), and Kier-La Janisse (House of Psychotic Women), plus guest reviews by Lisa Carver (Rollerderby), Heather Drain (Video Watchdog), Christina Ward (Feral House), Rachel McPadden, art by Corinne Halbert (Hate Baby, Quimby’s), Scott R. Miller (Printsploitation) and Liz Mason (Quimby’s). Born in the drive-in theater backseats of the 70s, the demonic visions of Teen Movie Hell fueled the VCR, cable TV, and shopping mall multiplex booms of the 80s before collapsing in the 90s in a pixelated pile of cable dissipation and Internet indulgences. Between George Lucas’s American Graffiti in 1973 and Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused twenty years later, laugh riots on the order of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Revenge of the Nerds boomed at the box office and conquered pop culture by celebrating adolescent misbehavior run amok. Don't miss this journey into Meatballs, Caddyshack, Valley Girl, The Last American Virgin and more. “This book is good for people who like teen movies. Teen movies are good for people who like gratuitous nudity. I am those people!”—Gilbert Gottfried, USA Up All Night “Awesome”—Dangerous Minds “This R-Rated Rosetta Stone of celluloid abandon is a must-read for multiple generations of once-and-forever kids…a complete classic, written with all the enthusiasm of a Saturday night slamdance.”—Allan Arkush, director of Rock ‘n’ Roll High School #TEENMOVIEHELL #BazillionPoints #Quimbys #QuimbysBookstore #QuimbysBookstoreChicago #MikeMcBeardoMcPadden #MikeMcPadden #movies #teens #humor (at Quimby's Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_4ETHgchG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q4eewl18oia6
