The SassyFlix Take

Jim McBride’s Hot Times is what happens when Archie Comics goes full sexploitation: a parade of lewd gags, pop culture references, and taboo-baiting scenarios. If your idea of a good time involves a horny protagonist, a cast of thinly veiled comic archetypes, and more innuendo than a late-night talk show, you’re in the right sleazy schoolyard.
