It's time to cruise on back to 1962 and pay a visit to Mel's Drive-In as Leonard and Guy revisit George Lucas' coming-of-age classic, American Graffiti.

They discuss the relatively unknown but soon to be star-filled cast, what the film mean to Lucas on a personal level, the original plan for its release, the smash-hit soundtrack, as well as why the film doesn't quite hold up in 2026 as much as other films from its time.
