Welcome to the first installment of a (3 part?) mini-series on my ongoing genre study project! In this episode, you'll hear about the origins of the teen movie- including the industrial and economic conditions that helped create them, the exploitation approach to film making, and much more!
Also, the Paramount decision was in 1948, NOT 1947, but I have done a lot of editing already and am very tired.
