Free With Ads 112: Rock ‘n’ Roll High School

Episode 112

15th April 2026

This week watched the movie that made The Ramones a household name, or at least as close to a household name as a punk rock band could get before getting accused of selling out. We’re talking Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, the 1979 musical comedy about a bunch of teens who really like The Ramones.

Tune in next week when our movie will be… Road House (1989)

April 18th: Jordan will be at the LA Times Festival of Books, at the Arvida booth at noon!

The MaxFun Drive starts next week, but you can join right now by going to this link and becoming a member. https://maximumfun.org/joinfreewithads

About the show

Why pay for streaming services when movies like Timecop and Grease 2 can be watched for nothing more than the cost of enduring a few loud, unskippable ads? Join us every week for a dive into the internet’s bargain bin!

Emily Fleming and Jordan Morris are real friends, real comedy writers and real cheapskates. They met working in comedy writing rooms and bonded over their love of “trashy” pop culture and saving a buck. They’re combining these loves for the podcast Free With Ads, a movie review show dedicated to the weird, amazing, inexplicable movies streaming free on an internet near you.
