Plot:
- Community-college student by day/stripper by night Ricky is just trying to get a passing grade in speech class. Enter Faye, his upright uptight teacher who happens to frequent the strip club that he works at. What's a lad to do? Unfortunately, it's less sleazy than you'd think and I'd hoped.
Notes:
- A nod to Wargames in the opening scene at NASA ("Would you like access to Computer Games?")
- Bryan Adam's Heaven playing over the opening credits and Animotion's Obsession at the strip club.
- Ricky the Rocket in his silver space suit (and briefs!) stripping near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
- Funky Miami Vice tie-in with Florida, Jan Hammer and Alix Elia.
