"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."This Ends at Prom is six years old, and The Wives Colangelo are celebrating with the last John Hughes teen movie they've yet to cover, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF. A teen movie so beloved it's in the Library of Congress, let's dissect why this movie has the staying power that it does, whether or not Ferris is "actually a villain," and what it means to escape the confines of Suburbia for the perfect day off 40 years later.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTAmerica's ToothFairy: https://www.americastoothfairy.org/--------Article MentionedBright Wall/Dark Room: https://www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2023/11/30/ferris-bueller-a-fruitful-life/--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

DB Frick and director Julius Olivas talk with Mike about Saving Ferris Butler, their scrappy, sub-$30,000 documentary chasing down the wildest claim in comedy history: that Ferris Butler, a fired 1980-81 Saturday Night Live writer and the mind behind the underground cable-access sketch show Waste Meat News, is the real inspiration for John Hughes's Ferris Bueller. Frick met Butler at a New York open mic fifteen years ago and spent years hearing him make the case; Olivas came aboard after directing Inky, his documentary on forgotten Hollywood ghostwriter Neil Gumbel, and dove into what turned out to be thousands of hours of archival footage. They talk assembling an unlikely roster of SNL alumni and insiders — Denny Dillon, Patrick Weathers, Hugh Fink, Tom "Bones" Malone — thanks to journalist Andy Haugland, tracking down the Del Close connection linking Butler to Hughes, and reuniting Weathers and songwriter Neil Levy on stage for the first time since 1983 at the film's sold-out 40th-anniversary premiere at the Quad Cinema. They also dig into Butler's late-life health struggles, his decades-long marriage to songwriting legend Beverly Ross ("Lollipop"), and why they think his story of scrappy, self-made outsider comedy is bigger than just one Ferris Bueller theory.Visit https://savingferrisbutler.com/ to find out more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Daniel and Harry are stuck in detention with Rachel Israel, director of The Floaters, so they figured they might as well record a podcast about the 1985 film The Breakfast Club, written and directed by John Hughes.Together, they revisit the iconic coming-of-age classic and its five high-school stereotypes—the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal—and ask whether those labels really tell us anything about who we are. They discuss the film's surprisingly earnest exploration of identity, friendship, family and parental pressure, why its 95-minute running time feels almost radical today, and how The Breakfast Club paved the way for generations of teen movies to come.They dig into the film's unexpected Jewish connections—from synchronized dancing and Jewish joy to the idea of detention as a kind of Shabbat or synagogue experience. They also discuss Rachel's own film The Floaters, Jewish summer camp, and the influence The Breakfast Club had on her filmmaking.Plus, it's our favorite question: How Jewish is The Breakfast Club? The answer may involve a little creative stretching—but that's never stopped us before.Rachel's LinksCheck out The Floaters in a city near youConnect with Jews on Film online:Jews on Film Merch - https://jews-on-film.printify.me/productsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

If you could go back and spend four years at any fictional high school from the '80s, where would you enroll? Would you hang out with Spicoli at Ridgemont High? Serve Saturday detention with the Breakfast Club at Shermer High? Shoot hoops for Hickory? Learn the African Anteater Ritual at Crandall High? Or maybe you'd choose a school where there's absolutely no chance of being murdered by your classmates or attacked in your dreams. This week on Stuck in the '80s, Steve and Brad are going back to school as we pick the fictional high schools of the 1980s we'd most like to attend — and the ones we'd avoid at all costs. There are plenty of tempting choices. There's Weemawee High from Square Pegs, where being popular might be difficult but there's always the possibility you'll score an invitation to Buffy's bar mitzvah and see Devo perform. There's Ridgemont High from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which was also the overwhelming favorite among our listeners. Sure, you might have to survive Mr. Hand's history class, but apparently you can have pizza delivered to class, visit a morgue on a field trip and spend the rest of your free time hanging around the mall. Then there's Hickory High from Hoosiers, where school spirit is off the charts and the enrollment is small enough that we might actually have a chance of making the basketball team. We also consider Rydell High from Grease 2, Crandall High from Can't Buy Me Love, Edwina Pearl High from Just One of the Guys and, of course, Shermer High, the center of the John Hughes universe. Shermer seems pretty appealing. Affluent Chicago suburb. Good education. Great house parties. Interesting classmates. Just don't get Saturday detention. Of course, not every fictional '80s high school belongs on the recruiting brochure. We'd probably skip Ampipe High from All the Right Moves unless we're particularly excited about a future at the local steel mill. We're definitely staying away from Beaumont High from Footloose, where dancing is illegal and nearly every adult seems determined to make teenagers miserable. Then there's Westerburg High from Heathers, where the murder rate alone should probably affect its U.S. News ranking. And we're absolutely not enrolling at Springwood High from A Nightmare on Elm Street. Any school where falling asleep during algebra can result in your gruesome death is an immediate dealbreaker. Bunker Hill Military Academy from Taps isn't looking much better. It's about to close, the townies hate you and there's a reasonable chance Timothy Hutton is going to get everyone killed. Otherwise, lovely campus. We also share your picks, including votes for the schools from Square Pegs, Better Off Dead, Summer School, Three O'Clock High and the John Hughes movies. But Ridgemont? Ridgemont wins by a landslide. The High School Class We Wish We'd Had We also have a special interview this week with Todd Shriver and Shawn Curtis, two Indiana high school teachers who have somehow managed to create what might be our dream job. They teach a class about the 1980s. Todd and Shawn tell us how the class came about, what parts of the decade they cover and what today's high school students think about the music, movies, history and pop culture their parents grew up with. Even better, they've managed to bring the decade to life through an impressive collection of interviews with '80s celebrities. Which leaves Steve with only one question: Where does he submit his résumé? Why We Never Really Forget High School There's a reason high school remains such a powerful setting for the movies and TV shows we grew up with. Those four years are when many of us first started dreaming about who we might someday become. It's where we found our people. Where many of us fell in love for the first time — and discovered heartbreak for the first time, too. It's where we were challenged academically, personally and sometimes morally. We made good decisions. We made terrible decisions. And somehow all of those experiences became little pieces of the adults we eventually turned into. And then there's the soundtrack. The songs and movies we discovered during high school never really leave us. Forty years later, one song can come on and suddenly you're not sitting in traffic anymore. You're 17 again. You're driving somebody's terrible first car. You're thinking about someone you had a crush on. You're remembering some completely ordinary Friday night that you had no idea you'd still be thinking about decades later. For four years, we were becoming ourselves. We just didn't know it yet. And if you were lucky enough to go to high school in the '80s, at least you had one hell of a soundtrack while you figured it out. Join Us on The '80s Cruise! Want to take your love of the '80s out of the classroom and onto the high seas? Join Stuck in the '80s on The '80s Cruise, where we'll once again be sailing with an incredible lineup of '80s artists and thousands of fellow fans of the decade.

Send Kevin a Text MessageLauren Shuler Donner, one of Hollywood's most influential and adaptable producers, joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging career retrospective. Over nearly five decades, Shuler Donner has produced roughly 40 films that have grossed more than $5 billion worldwide — including Mr. Mom, St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Dave, Free Willy, and the X-Men franchise she helped build years before Marvel became Marvel. She talks with Goetz about breaking into a male-dominated industry, her 38-year love story and creative partnership with director Richard Donner, her philanthropic work with the Motion Picture & Television Fund, and her latest chapter producing the Broadway musical adaptation of The Lost Boys.Breaking Into a Male-Dominated Industry (06:10): Shuler Donner recalls knocking on doors with no connections, becoming one of only three women among 300 men in NBC's camera department, and working her way into producing.Discovering John Hughes and Making Mr. Mom (12:29): Shuler Donner recalls cold-calling John Hughes, championing his unproduced script Mr. Mom, and casting an unknown Michael Keaton after seeing him in Night Shift.Falling for Dick Donner on the Set of Ladyhawke (16:43): Shuler Donner describes pursuing Richard Donner to direct Ladyhawke, working with him as a producer, and falling in love with him during the Italian shoot.Radio Flyer, Free Willy, and the Power of Testing (24:53): Shuler Donner discusses Radio Flyer's heartbreaking low box office despite strong scores, and how a fan's $10 donation "for the whales" inspired Free Willy's end-credit hotline.The Midwest Gut Check and the Search for Real Villains (28:01): Shuler Donner explains testing projects against whether "a kid from Cleveland" would pay to see them, and demanding villains like Magneto have real, human motivations.Finding Hugh Jackman (30:40): Shuler Donner recounts spotting Hugh Jackman in a self-taped Oklahoma! audition, flying him to LA, and sending him to read for Bryan Singer in Toronto sight unseen.Getting X-Men Made (34:07): After Warner Bros. passed, Shuler Donner pitched X-Men to Fox's Bill Mechanic, who, unbeknownst to her, had sold his own comic collection to pay for college.The Lost Boys on Broadway (37:02): Shuler Donner talks about bringing The Lost Boys, and eventually Dave, to the Broadway stage.Testing Pretty in Pink's Ending (43:53): Shuler Donner explains how test audiences rejected the original ending of Pretty in Pink, leading to a reshoot that paired Molly Ringwald with Andrew McCarthy instead of Jon Cryer.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Lauren Shuler DonnerProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Lauren Shuler Donner:IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0795682/Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Shuler_DonnerFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

“Bueller… Bueller… anyone?”   Oh, yeahhh… it's been 40 years since Ferris Bueller famously convinced girlfriend Sloane and best bud Cameron to skip school together for a whirlwind day in Chicago. And pop culture has never been the same.    In this fun podcast we celebrate the 1986 hit movie that's been called a cultural milestone: “Ferris Bueller's Day Off.”   What (and who) inspired John Hughes as he was writing the script? Why did Matthew Broderick hesitate to accept the role of Ferris? What are some fun behind-the-scenes stories about the parade and art museum scenes? Why did both Matthew Broderick and Mia Sara find filming challenging? And what tragedy were two of the cast members involved in after the film's release? We discuss all this and more!   In the words of Ferris, “Life moves pretty fast…” So be sure not to miss it, OR this podcast episode!   Special thanks to one of our current members, Rebekah, for helping us to keep the tea brewing!

PRETTY IN PINK – 40 YEARS LATER In this episode of Turn The Beat Around we celebrate one of the most beloved teen films — and one of the most influential alt‑pop soundtracks — of the 1980s: Pretty in Pink (1986). John Hughes' suburban‑romance classic starred Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, Jon Cryer and James Spader, but it was the music that turned the film into a generational touchstone. We explored how the soundtrack became an even bigger success than the movie itself, climbing to No. 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 1986 and introducing Australian audiences to a wave of British new‑wave and post‑punk acts. From the Psychedelic Furs' title track to OMD's era‑defining “If You Leave,” this episode revisits the songs that shaped the emotional architecture of the film and helped define teen culture in the mid‑80s. A soundtrack that inspired a generation, and still stands as one of the decade's most enduring alt‑pop compilations.

In episode 49, Johnny talks to author, comedian and filmmaker Jason Klamm.Jason is the author of the new book Ferris Bueller…You're My Hero, the definitive behind-the-scenes account of John Hughes' 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The book explores how John Hughes' creative hot streak produced one of the most beloved comedies ever made, and is lovingly pulled together from 125 exclusive interviews with the film's cast and crew, including Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck and members of the Hughes family.You can find Ferris Bueller…You're My Hero at all good bookstores, or online through 1984 Publishing. Johnny and Jason's chat includes a discussion about the longevity of Ferris Bueller's Day Off and what makes the film resonate to this day, they talk about one wild time-loop theory that will change the way you look at the film, and they struggle to cast a 2026 remake of the film, because who needs to see Tom Holland or Timothée Chalamet in anything ever again?This conversation was recorded online in early July of 2026.

We talk to Torturetwinn's Andrew Devin - New Wave, Alternative Rock Artist. Exploding from his nostalgia filled studio in Richmond, Virginia - Andrew Devin aka Torturetwinn, is creating music that evokes the feeling of driving down a desert highway across the US, windows down, carefree vibes that only perhaps a John Hughes movie has been able to do in the past. We chat about his journey to this point and how giving up pretty much everything to allow himself to devote his whole life to music is beginning to result in the best decision he could ever make.Special thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop 

Dave Eggers (Contrapposto, The Circle, and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius) is a bestselling author, founder of McSweeney's, and Pulitzer Prize finalist. Dave joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the strange family lore behind McSweeney's, growing up in John Hughes-era Illinois, and falling in love with writing and designing books as a kid. Dave and Dax talk about moving to Berkeley to help raise his little brother after his parents died, shaking up literary readings with They Might Be Giants, and building a creative community out of rejected magazine pieces. Dave explains why kids should be published, how writing can give order to chaos, and why the happiest creative life might be the one with the least preciousness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Movie soundtracks once shaped the direction of popular music...and nowhere was that more true than in alternative rock. This week, we go back into the Ongoing History vault to trace the evolution of movie soundtracks from their early, days to their cultural impact in the '80s and '90s. These are albums that helped define, amplify, and sometimes completely redirect alternative music. From the electronic shock of A Clockwork Orange to the cult chaos of The Rocky Horror Picture Show...from the John Hughes films that introduced a generation to British alt‑rock, to era‑defining releases like Singles, Judgement Night, The Crow, and Trainspotting...this is an exploration of how film and music collided at exactly the right moments. Soundtracks may not dominate the charts the way they once did, but their influence is everywhere. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

30 years ago – in July 1996 - the Lisbon Lions stand was opened at Celtic Park, continuing the ground's redevelopment.There are four stands at Celtic Park: the main stand, North Stand, Lisbon Lions stand and Jock Stein stand. Each time one these has been opened, matches have been held to celebrate this.The original Celtic Park opened in 1888 before 1892 when the Bhoys moved the short distance to the second site, which remains the location where the Celts play.Over the years, the look of this venue has changed significantly, with many stands and structures being built and then knocked down, and in the case of the original pavilion, burned down as happened in 1929.If looking at the current Parkhead, the history of this can be traced back to 1971, when the main stand was built, although the foundations of this are much older.The oldest of Celtic's stands is the main stand. Work on this began in 1970 and was eventually completed in 1971. It ran behind schedule which led to one very strange scenario.By 14 August 1971, the League Cup campaign had begun but Celtic could not yet play at home due to the building works. This meant that their match versus Rangers had to be played at Ibrox – but with Celtic as the home team, and Celtic season tickets being valid!11 days later, the main stand was finally ready for use. In terms of opening games for this new facility, there are two relevant fixtures. The first of these came in the League Cup on 25 August. Morton travelled to Celtic Park and the main stand was now open for fans.To say the least, this was a less than auspicious occasion to mark the stand's maiden game. Despite getting a penalty – which was missed by Kenny Dalglish – the Celts fell to a 1-0 defeat. Although Celtic still made it through to the final, they famously lost 4-1 to Partick Thistle.However, this Morton fixture was not the main stand's official opening event. Instead, that took place a week when Nacional from Uruguay were the glamour opponents invited to mark the occasion.60,000 supporters were in Celtic Park, with the main stand being ticket-only and sold out. They watched on as Celtic legend Jimmy McGrory – the club's all-time top scorer and former manager – performed the official ceremony.This was a much brighter moment as the Hoops won 3-0 to officially christen the new stand with victory. Although there were also complaints from the Scottish League who were upset at the game being played during the season, despite the Scottish FA agreeing to this.In the following decades, little major reconstruction work took place at Celtic Park. By the early-1990s, this left the club facing a major problem. The Hillsborough tragedy had led to a demand that all football stadiums be all-seated.In this era, Celtic faced major financial problems and simply did not have the money to build such a venue. Pipe dreams of moving to Cambuslang soon disappeared. Eventually, this led to Fergus McCann's takeover, after which there was rapid building progress at Celtic Park.In the 1994-95 season, the Bhoys vacated their usual home and instead played at Hampden. Whilst they were away, Celtic Park was razed to the ground, except for the main stand. Building work soon followed at a cost of £17 million.In place of the old Jungle section of the ground, a massive new North Stand was built. Quite simply, this towered over what had been the former ground. Also, with seats for 27,000 supporters, this was one of the biggest stands in Britain.By 1995, everything looked brighter again for Celtic. The takeover had long since been completed, the Bhoys had held a successful share issue to raise much needed funds and, most importantly, the club's first silverware since 1989 sat in the Parkhead trophy room.In addition, the North Stand was now finished and ready for an official opening. On a gala day on 5 August 1995, fans got their first experience of this new venue.A sell-out crowd turned up in Glasgow's east end, with the brilliant sunshine capturing the general mood of optimism. Rod Stewart did the official honours at the ribbon-cutting to open the North Stand, before a friendly match was held.Celtic's opponents were Newcastle United, with a team full of stars including David Ginola and Peter Beardsley. They all helped entertain the supporters in a 1-1 draw. John Collins got the first goal in front of the new stand, thanks to a 30th minute penalty, before Les Ferdinand's second half equaliser proved to be the last scoring of the match.Now that one part of Fergus McCann's new construction was complete, it would not be long before more building work took place. Behind the west stand – or old Celtic end – a temporary stand was erected, but this was only a short-term solution.One year on, there was yet another new stand to be opened. And like in 1971, there were two relevant matches when it came to doing this.Throughout the 1995-96 season, more building work had taken place at the east end of the ground, on the site of what had previously been referred to as the ‘Rangers end'. Now this stand was complete and ready for action.On 31 July 1996, another English team made their way north of the border. This time it was Arsenal's turn to experience the new Celtic Park, but it was also the first time for Celtic fans too.Another sell-out crowd – this time with 47,300 fans – were in the ground. They witnessed a 2-1 win for the home side. In fact, Arsenal led for most of the match thanks to a Lee Dixon goal, but two very late strikes from Simon Donnelly and Phil O'Donnell ensured a green-and-white win.Despite Arsenal being high-profile visitors, this match was not the official opening of the stand. Instead, this took place a few days later.On 3 August 1996, Billy Connolly this time was given the opening honours. Wearing a standout green suit, the Glasgow comedian officially opened the new east stand, before a clash of the hoops where Celtic played Sporting Lisbon.This match showed the best and worst of Celtic in this era. The Celts looked good going forward and enjoyed a two-goal advantage thanks to goals from Jorge Cadete – playing against his old club – and Simon Donnelly.However, with ten minutes remaining, this good work was undone in little more than a minute. As the clock struck 80, Luis Filipe halved the deficit. And very shortly after this, the unfortunate John Hughes knocked into his own net, to seal a 2-2 draw.In fact, you can argue that this stand has had three official openings. The first two came in 1996 when the building work was first done. The next happened four years later, but this time without any building changes.Instead, the event in the year 2000 concerned a change of name. The stand was simply referred to as the east stand, although some fans referred to it using the old ‘Rangers end' adage. But now Celtic wanted to use the venue to honour the club's greatest side.It was agreed that the east stand would be officially christened the ‘Lisbon Lions' stand in celebration of all those players who contributed to European Cup glory in 1967. This was in response to a public vote in the choice of name, with Fergus McCann being runner-up.On 1 February 2000, Bayern Munich came to Celtic Park. In front of a less than full Celtic Park, the Germans claimed a 2-1 victory. In truth, it was an unimportant game, and it was one that almost did not happen.The previous Saturday, high winds had damaged some of the stadium, including the new stand. This had forced the postponement of Celtic's Scottish Cup clash with Inverness Caledonian Thistle. The weather eventually calmed down enough to fix the roof and let the Bayern game go ahead.But, of course, when it came to replay the Scottish Cup tie, the Celts were left wishing that the weather had again stopped this. Famously, ‘Super Caley went ballistic' and knocked the hoops out of the cup, considered to be one of Celtic's worst ever results.In fact, when the Lisbon Lions stand received its official name, the full ground was now complete. After the east stand was finished in 1996, attentions turned to adding the final piece of the Celtic Park jigsaw.Where the temporary stand had stood at the west end of the ground, construction began. By 1998, this was finished and ready to be opened for fans to use. The completed 60,000 stadium was an impressive sight; the biggest football ground in Scotland.Once more, two matches were involved in the opening of this new stand. On the face of it, the first game played in front of fans should have been a major moment. As well as a fully rebuilt stadium, the Celts were in the qualifiers of the Champions League for the first time since it was rebranded from the European Cup.On 22 July 1998, Dublin side St Patrick's Athletic came to Celtic Park. 56,864 were in the ground. They watched an utterly lacklustre match which ended 0-0. There were even boos as the team left the pitch at full-time, although Celtic did at least go on to win the second leg.This disappointing fixture was not the official opening though. Instead, that took place just over two weeks later. Liverpool were the latest team from England to open a Celtic Park stand.Before the match began, there was a poignant ceremony. This latest stand was to be named after Jock Stein, the man who had led Celtic to Europe's pinnacle. His wife Jean opened the stand, and she was joined by most of the Lisbon Lions, who showed off their famous trophy.This time it was a sell-out and 59,727 supporters crammed into the ground, a sight which has become common in the years since. They did not get to cheer a goal as the Merseyside men claimed a 1-0 win, but Celtic knew they were on the upward track.The changing face of Celtic Park has been truly remarkable, including the surrounding areas. For now, the ground has a fixed feel to it although there are always demands from supporters for further changes, including another tier being added to the main stand.In addition, there are regular fan discussions about whether more names should be added to the ground; figures such as Brother Walfrid or Fergus McCann are usually promoted in relation to this.Whichever stand you sit in at Celtic Park, it is one that has been witness to so many memorable moments in the club's history. The club's home since 1892, it's one place that you know where there's going to be a show.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

What if discipleship isn't as complicated as we've made it? For many Christians, the word discipleship feels intimidating. We picture Bible experts, formal classes, or having all the answers before we're qualified to help someone else grow in their faith. But that's not how Jesus modeled it. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, Bill and Travis unpack what discipleship really is—and why it's meant to be a natural part of everyday life, not another program to master. In this episode, you'll discover: What biblical discipleship actually looks like Simple, practical ways to start discipling today—even if you don't feel ready How to invite others into the journey God is already taking you on You don't have to know everything to help someone take their next step toward Jesus.

Nerds, Fringe, and the $1,000 Question: Can't Buy Me Love Gets Its Day in CourtWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest Grace Campbell of Adventures in Collide Podcast to dig into Can't Buy Me Love (1987)—a Patrick Dempsey gem perpetually swallowed up by the John Hughes canon that deserves its moment.Krissy comes in as the episode's Sherpa, having loved the film for years, while both Grace and Nathan are first-timers. That dynamic creates a wonderful push and pull: does the premise hold its sweetness, or does the "boy rents girl" setup curdle under grown-up eyes? The hosts wrestle with how quickly Ronald transforms from pure-hearted dork to full douche canoe—and whether the film earns its warm, everyone-finds-their-humanity ending or just magically wills it into existence.Along the way: the iconic severe suede outfit (yes, that's a real quote), tiny baby Seth Green as fart-adjacent chaos agent, Paula Abdul's surprise choreography credit, the Columbus Day dance and its layers of "very 1987," and why outfits—not Ronald, not Cindy—are the true villain of this film.The conversation lands somewhere warm and a little surprised by its own sincerity, which feels right for a movie that sneaks up on you the same way. Spoiler-light, premise-level—no twists, no endings, just the good stuff that makes you want to press play.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you could pay someone a thousand dollars to change your social life for one month, what would you actually spend that money on instead? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

In this episode we hit pause on the present and rewind to 1986 for Ferris Bueller's Day Off - the teen comedy film written, co-produced, and directed by John Hughes. Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) has an uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, “borrows” a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day journey through the streets of Chicago. On Ferris' trail is high school principal Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), determined to catch him in the act.

June Swoon comes to a close with us pushing out the classics! It's a double breaker with deep topics like - James Spader, red head? Choosing Duckie if RDJ was cast, deciding we're on Team Simon anyway, Johnny and Gym Jumper - twins but fraternal, disrespecting your rich daddy's house, an iconic lip sync... FOR HIS LOIF! And some Arsenio Hall cosplay that's the biggest glow down since the last time John Hughes did this. Do we OFFEND? We're about to because you know we're about to trash this prom dress harder than Andie did. It's Pretty in Pink on this episode of Doom Generation! 

Macaulay Culkin is left alone yet again, but this time in NYC where he faces off against some familiar foes in Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.  Co-starring John Heard, Catherine O'Hara and Tim Curry.  Written by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus.

It's 1985. A socially awkward teenager yearns for her FIRST KISS before she turns sixteen in the suburbs. But life is not a John Hughes rom-com for an Asian girl like her. This one-woman musical romp is like totally radical and retro, dude.A nostalgic trip revisiting 80s movies like 16 Candles and Breakfast Club backed by a live band playing 80s hits like Maniac, Wild Thing and Prince's Kiss on keyboards, harp, violin, cello and drums.

Do you like baseball games, parades, and art museums? Do you have a soft spot for Chicago and righteous dudes? Will you let my Cameron go? Then Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) is the movie for you!

In this episode of our 2026 series about iconic movies from the 1980s we are taking on, for a second month in a row, a movie directed by John Hughes. This time we are talking about his 1985 The Breakfast Club. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many reasons why The Breakfast Club connect with the youth of the time, whether or not its messaging remains relevant or maybe functions as timeless and if its manufactured nature is an impediment to enjoying the movie or onboarding its message. We also talk about the vice-principal's moral high ground, the loneliness of adolescence, and the safety of bringing unrefrigerated sushi for lunch to school.

In 1986 John Hughes gave us his version of that perfect day with a group of teens from the North Shore of Chicago Illinois; a story that has a much more melancholy undercurrent than most likely realize and for host Brad, marked the end of a very difficult year.

An engineer is laid off and becomes a stay-at-home dad, and hijinks--and gender--ensue. Not quite as off-putting as it could have been thanks to some very funny performances from Michael Keaton and Teri Garr, but it's still a hackneyed, reactionary premise. Starring Michael Keaton, Teri Garr, Martin Mull, Ann Jillian. Written by John Hughes. Directed by Stan Dragoti.

Chosen by Justin, Only the Lonely arrived in 1991 as a gentler, more bittersweet John Candy vehicle than the broad comedy many audiences might have expected. Written and directed by Chris Columbus and produced by John Hughes and Hunt Lowry, the film brought together Candy, Maureen O'Hara, Ally Sheedy, Anthony Quinn, James Belushi and Kevin Dunn for a Chicago-set romantic comedy-drama with a softer heart than its VHS-era packaging probably suggested. A widely reported production budget is not readily available, but the film earned around $21.8 million domestically after opening wide through 20th Century Fox in May 1991.The production leaned heavily into real Chicago texture, with principal photography beginning on 1 October 1990 and running until 22 December 1990. Locations included North Avenue Beach, the Pump Room, St. John Cantius Church, Greektown and Comiskey Park, with additional interiors built at Chicago Metropolitan Studios. Reception was mixed-to-positive in the period, with particular praise for the performances, and the film has since picked up a modest legacy as one of John Candy's more tender, underrated leading roles: less “falling through furniture,” more “quietly breaking your heart while still making you laugh.”Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a city of crowded bars, roaring trains and overbearing family dinners, one Chicago cop is about to face the most terrifying case of his career: falling in love.Danny Muldoon is loyal, dependable, kind-hearted… and still very much under the command of his mother. But when he meets Theresa, a shy funeral home worker with a quiet charm, Danny sees the possibility of a life beyond guilt, duty and being emotionally handcuffed to the family sofa.Fun FactsOnly the Lonely was Maureen O'Hara's first feature film appearance in roughly two decades, bringing a classic Hollywood presence into a very early-90s comedy-drama.Chris Columbus reportedly wrote the role of Rose with Maureen O'Hara in mind, which is ambitious casting energy of the highest order.The film's title comes from Roy Orbison's famous song “Only the Lonely,” giving the movie an instant dose of old-school melancholy before anyone even says a word.John Candy plays a romantic lead here, which makes the film stand apart from many of his broader comic roles of the 1980s and early 1990s.The cast includes both Macaulay Culkin and Kieran Culkin in small roles, because apparently the early 90s had a legal requirement that at least one Culkin appear somewhere near a John Hughes production.Maurice Jarre, the Oscar-winning composer behind classics such as Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, provided the score.The film was shot in the same general Chicago orbit as several John Hughes-associated productions, helping give it that familiar neighbourhood feel rather than a glossy studio rom-com sheen.Anthony Quinn appears as Nick, the persistent neighbour with eyes for Rose, adding some old-school screen charisma to the film's family chaos.The story has often been compared to Marty, the 1955 romantic drama about a lonely bachelor trying to find love while dealing with family pressure.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Megan Gaul is a weight loss coach from Staten Island. Her mission is to support women age 30 and up, 200 lbs. and up, achieve their weight-loss goals without shrinking their lives. She came to this mission through her own 100-lb weight loss in 2018, where she discovered food freedom, healthier emotional boundaries, self-trust, and a richer life. She's now in her 5th year of business, and she and her clients focus on small habit-change, self-compassion, and authenticity. Megan Gaul Vroom Vroom Veer Show Summary Intro and welcome — Jeff introduces Megan and they ease into the conversation with some Staten Island background and shared pop culture references (John Hughes, Molly Ringwald). Megan's new Slack community — a supportive space for women working on weight loss who aren't ready for one-on-one coaching. Members post daily food plans, check in at night, swap meal-prep ideas, and join a weekly group coaching class. Megan shares why she loves using Slack for something this personal. Growing up in Staten Island — feeling like an outsider among Italian families, being a band/nerd kid rather than a club kid, and how her home food environment (three square meals, limited snacking) quietly shaped her relationship with food for years to come. The "freshman forty-five" — unlimited cafeteria access, vending machines, and a photo she almost didn't recognize. Megan shares how that moment pushed her to start tracking calories, eventually losing about 40 lbs (185 → 145) — but without a maintenance plan. The scarcity mindset and night overeating — when you grow up feeling like food access is controlled, freely available food becomes hard to resist. Megan traces this pattern through college, working life, and reaching 235 lbs by age 28. The wake-up moment — post-eating guilt, feeling out of control, and recognizing that food had become a numbing mechanism. Megan talks honestly about the parallels with addictive behavior, without labeling it as addiction. You don't have to give up Cheetos — Megan's coaching philosophy centers on portioning, structure, and meal planning rather than banning favorite foods. Peanut butter, Reese's, and all. Jeff shares his own parallel experience with military weigh-ins, strict low-calorie phases, and eventually finding green smoothies. Small habits that actually stick — Jeff's practical toolkit: "optic flow" walks, the 100-steps minimum, 10 minutes of morning sunlight for circadian rhythm, brief morning meditation to lower cortisol, and ramping into the day rather than diving into email. Megan affirms why consistency beats all-or-nothing every time. Life opens up before you hit goal weight — more stamina, saying yes to hiking and standing events, not shrinking your world to avoid discomfort. Megan shares her Sunday bean salad ritual and how weekly meal prep keeps stress from driving impulsive eating choices. Wrap-up, laughs, and a John Candy documentary recommendation. Megan shares how to find her and what she offers. Connections Partake Meal Planning

Mixtape is a new game from Beethoven & Dinosaur, the studio behind 2021's whimsical musical adventure The Artful Escape. It's Life Is Strange (absent the supernatural) by way of John Hughes. Patrick recently had an opportunity to chat with Mixtape's lovingly eccentric creative director, Johnny Galvatron, and its producer, Woody Woodward, about what it means to make a video game about love, booze, and teenage friendship. Plus, we talk about Weezer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
