Listen "SCHOOL IS OUT, ROCK IS IN (Rock N' Roll High School 1979)"
Episode Synopsis
Come on feel the noise, This Girl is gunna ROCK the Boys! We take a look at the cult classic and rock n' roll staple Rock N' Roll High School. Starring The Ramones, this Corman produced teenage comedy has stood the test of time and became a right of passage for many of the youth in the 70's and 80's and even today!Vince Lombardi High School keeps losing principals to nervous breakdowns because of the students' love of rock 'n' roll and their disregard for education. The leader of the students, Riff Randell, is the biggest Ramones fan at the school and also the worst behavioral problem, in that her disciplinary record fills an entire filing cabinet. She waits in line for three days to get tickets to see the band, hoping to meet Joey Ramone so she can give him a song she wrote for the band, "Rock 'n' Roll High School".When the tyrannical Principal Togar takes her ticket away, Riff and her best friend Kate Rambeau have to find another way to meet their heroes: winning a radio contest. Riff succeeds in delivering her song to Joey Ramone, but the next day Principal Togar and a group of parents attempt to burn a pile of rock records. In response, the students, joined by the Ramones (who are made honorary students), overthrow the teachers and hall monitors to take over the high school, with Principal Togar asking the musicians "Do your parents know you're Ramones?" When the police are summoned and demand that the students evacuate the building, they do so, but then the students and the Ramones burn down the school as a final act of youthful rebellion.Check out or Merch! https://grindhouse-merch.printify.me/Watch Last Weeks Episode! https://youtu.be/MANMiDqQxQU Facebook @thegrindhousepodcastInstagram @thegrindhousepodcast TikTok @thegrindhousepodcastCheck out New Episodes Every Saturday At 3:00pm EST
