In A World! Films What If Podcast

In this episode, we head back to 1989 for John Hughes' underrated comedy classic Uncle Buck. John Candy delivers one of his most heartfelt and hilarious performances, but what if someone else had taken on the role? We explore the alternate casting choices, dig into behind-the-scenes stories, and reflect on why this film feels like Hughes' last truly great directorial outing. Plus, we talk about that emotional ending, the unforgettable pancake scene, and how Candy's performance still hits hard decades later. It's time to fire up the Wagonaire, and spend some quality time with Uncle Buck.

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land. This one sticks.RELATED LINKSPinky Swear FoundationThe Mastectomy I Always Wanted (Book)Erica on LinkedInThink & Link: Erica Campbell“Like the Tale of a Starfish” - Blog Post“Cancer Diagnosis, Messy Life, Financial Support” - Blog PostFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this radical episode of Past Tens: A Top 10 Time Machine, Dave and Milt hop in their DeLorean — flux capacitor fully operational — and set the date for June 16, 1984. They're not just cruising through the Billboard Top 10; they're living it like extras in Footloose. The episode kicks off with a heartfelt and totally tubular tribute to Dave's late father — think The Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi, but with better dad jokes. From there, it's a parade of parachute pants, popped collars, and personal memories as they discuss the artists who ruled the airwaves: Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, and Cyndi Lauper — basically the Justice League of 1984 pop. Of course, it wouldn't be Past Tens without a few twists. There's a Playdate Quiz that would stump even The NeverEnding Story's Atreyu, a musical mashup segment that's more chaotic than Gremlins after midnight, and their signature song substitution game — think Indiana Jones swapping the idol for a bag of sand, but with Huey Lewis tracks. Some highlights: 00:54: A heartfelt memorial for Dave's father, complete with more heart than Kevin Bacon dancing alone in a warehouse. 08:33: Pop Culture Highlights: Ghostbusters hit theaters, Purple Rain was on the horizon, and nobody put Baby in a corner (yet — Dirty Dancing was still a few years away). 15:22: Countdown kicks off — Night Ranger's “Sister Christian” taught us all what "motoring" really means (spoiler: it's not what your dad thinks). 38:01: Musical Mashups — imagine Footloose meets Thriller but performed by the cast of Revenge of the Nerds. 39:22: Laura Branigan's “Self Control” — the unofficial soundtrack to sneaking out past curfew in 1984. 44:54: Huey Lewis reminds everyone that the heart of rock and roll is still beating — even if it's wearing leg warmers. 59:33: Steve Perry's “Oh Sherrie,” a ballad so powerful it could get E.T. to phone home twice. 01:19:50: Cyndi Lauper's “Time After Time” — guaranteed to make even the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man misty-eyed. 01:23:15: Cyndi's legendary ties to the wrestling world — she could literally have body-slammed a Goonie. Milt also teases his upcoming trip to Africa, though we're unclear whether he'll be traveling by Toto song or Temple of Doom bridge. It's a journey that's equal parts nostalgia, musicology, and a John Hughes movie montage. Crank up your Walkman and join the ride — just don't feed Milt after midnight.

Is prom the most important event in a young girls life or is dumping all the loser men around you and going to fashion school the most important instead!?

Send us a textIn this episode, Mark Waldoch stops by the show to discuss his new group, The Hallelujah Ward's, and new album Everybody Swoons. We also talk about how sometimes having a brat moment got him recognized and more.*****Everybody in Milwaukee knows Mark Waldoch. Either they met him working at the legendary Atomic Records, behind a bar at one of Milwaukee's leading cocktail locales, or most likely singing from the bottom of his heart to the top of his lungs for over the past 25 years.  A songwriter and multi-instrumentalist punk crooner with a raw, uniquely powerful voice, he has opened, guitar tech-ed, or performed with everyone from Arcade Fire, Justin Vernon's Volcano Choir, Interpol, Sylvan Esso, Daniel Johnston, Bright Eyes. The list goes on and on and on. Born to Indo-Trinidadian and Puerto Rican/Syrian immigrants in NYC, Waldoch and his brother were pulled by their mother from the big city to the deep Midwest as kids to escape an abusive father. His mother passed shortly after, and Waldoch was adopted by a Racine, Wisconsin family—out of the frying pan and into a John Hughes movie.  It's no wonder that he gravitated toward something outside the mainstream, which he found, ironically, at a store called Mainstream Records. Love and infatuation came young, aimed at the likes of the Cure, Siouxsie, the Smiths, R.E.M., the Velvet Underground, and Love and Rockets. The list goes on and on. Inspired by those things and led by a heart that's always open, Waldoch has been creating songs to match his passion and perfectionism with his pen and his pedalboard. He's played solo and in various bands over the years, but nothing quite scratched his lifelong itch until now—The Hallelujah Ward's Everybody Swoons. With drummer Dan Didier (The Promise Ring, Maritime) and bassist Paul Hancock (Testa Rosa), Waldoch finally put the pieces into place. Some of the melodies and seeds of its songs have been simmering for 10 years; some came to life just as this trio did. Waldoch's powerful lyrics range from deeply personal to complete fiction, and the music they exist inside is similarly familiar yet new, with elements of indie-pop, shoegaze, even art-rock, and Brit pop. Everybody Swoons will be out digitally and on limited-edition vinyl, out now via Foreign Leisure Records.******If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

What if Anthony Michael Hall wasn't the face of 1980s teen angst? What if instead of starring in The Breakfast Club, he was flipping omelets at a diner or selling insurance in suburban Chicago? This week on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito, we dive into the alternate reality of one of the most recognizable faces from John Hughes’ iconic coming-of-age films. Anthony Michael Hall — the original “geek” who made awkward cool — joins Jeff to talk about what could have been if Hollywood hadn’t come calling. Hall shot to fame with a string of unforgettable roles in Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, and The Breakfast Club, becoming the go-to actor for every lovable outsider in 80s cinema. But he wasn’t just a teen dream. He broke molds again by becoming the youngest cast member ever on Saturday Night Live at just 17 years old — a bold move that showed his comedic range and fearless ambition. Over the years, Hall has shed the high school persona and proven his versatility in serious roles — from the gritty The Dead Zone to portraying Whitey Ford in 61 and even embodying a cold-hearted villain in The Dark Knight. But despite the evolution, one question remains: What job would Anthony Michael Hall be doing today if he never got that lucky break? Many stars have walked a thin line between fame and flipping burgers. Remember Kanye West’s stint at The Gap? Or Brad Pitt sweating it out in a chicken suit for El Pollo Loco? Hall might’ve ended up a music producer, a writer, or even a motivational speaker — but one thing’s for sure: he never saw himself as just a jobber.

“So, what do you little maniacs want to do first?” As embodied by Kelly LeBrock, Lisa was full of questions, answers, and (for unknown reasons) a variety of witchy powers in the 1985 classic, Weird Science. Written and directed by John Hughes, the movie was a perverted teenage geek's dream: building a woman to spec, controlling her, and using her to gain popularity among the cool kids. But now, nearly 40 years later, what in the name of Gloria Steinem is going on here? Is there any joy to be had in this Anthony Michael Hall of horrors?

Prom Night (1980)Even if you had a bad prom night, I guarantee your prom night didn't go quite as bad as it did for the folks in Prom Night from 1980. What would otherwise be an uneventful 1980s slasher is brought to life as a pulsing disco-veneered horror flick. Starring Leslie Nielsen and Jamie Lee Curtis, among others, put on your dancing shoes for Prom Night. Pretty in Pink (1986)One more in a string of brat-pack films by John Hughes, Pretty in Pink stars Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Annie Potts, James Spader, and Harry Dean Stanton. Focusing on social class, unrequited love, and of course, the prom, Pretty in Pink is a thoughtful and light-hearted romantic comedy with a delightful new wave soundtrack. Cue this one up for your after-prom party. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)Pedro, give me your movie recommendations! Next up, we have the cult comedy Napoleon Dynamite. This film is a real sleeper hit, featuring iconic school dance scenes and an iconic dance number. Put on your best sleeves, make some tots, and join us on the couch for a wonderfully charming and quirky comedy. Mean Girls (2004)Stop trying to make fetch happen and join us on the couch for Mean Girls. This hilarious comedy, produced by Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live is sure to make you and your clique crack up. While the prom is the culmination of the film, it's a prom film that isn't totally about the prom. It's about friendship, honesty, and the importance of being yourself.

The Weight of Proving: Finding Worth in God's Love This episode of the Exploring More Podcast delves into the concept of "something to prove" within the broader journey of masculinity and spiritual identity. Hosts Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings examine how men often develop a false self rooted in hiding, proving, and fearing—patterns shaped by both societal pressures and personal experiences. Through honest storytelling, including anecdotes from childhood sports and relational struggles, they explore how these themes manifest in daily life and how deeply they affect a man's sense of worth and belonging. The hosts emphasize the need for a shift from performance-based identity to a heart grounded in the love of God. They discuss how personal theology—shaped by real-life experience—often speaks louder than biblical theology unless men actively encounter God's unconditional love. This love, they argue, must be more than a concept; it needs to be an experienced reality that reshapes how a man sees himself and others. Throughout the conversation, Michael and SJ also unpack how fear often drives the compulsion to prove worth and hide vulnerabilities. Cultural references like John Hughes films and stories of athletic and emotional challenges help illustrate how deeply embedded these dynamics can become. They stress the importance of grace, not merely as unmerited favor, but as the empowering presence of God that enables transformation. The episode also looks at the role of affirmation, validation, and community in either reinforcing or healing the false self. The journey to becoming an "oriented man" is not one of perfection, but one of authenticity, spiritual formation, and deepening connection with God and others. The conversation ultimately invites listeners to reframe their personal theology in a way that aligns with biblical truth and reflects the freeing reality of being fully loved. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

Description: In the summer of 2020, as Jen was beginning to process the loss of her 26-year marriage, there was one person walking her own similar but different journey, and understood many of the feelings of anger, grief, shame, and loss that Jen was just beginning to feel. Someone who knew how that disappointment felt. Jessica N. Tuner, founder of the popular lifestyle blog The Mom Creative, was a few months ahead of Jen in processing the loss of her 16-year marriage to her husband and father of her three children. Today, Jessica shared with Jen and Amy what the road to recovery has looked like for her, including grieving the end of the life she thought she would have forever, the change of her identity, navigating  the messy false-starts, and clawing her way back from what felt like “the floor of hell”. Jessica compiled those hard-fought lessons into a book she's hoping will be a manifesto of hope to others, called I Thought It Would Be Better Than This: Rise From Disappointment, Regain Control, and Rebuild a Life You Love. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: Nothing about what I thought my life was going to be, is my life now. Now I feel like I walk around in the world and I feel grief and loss and disappointment and dismay from everybody. It's amazing how my eyes have opened. It was a big awakening to the loss people are living with everyday.–Jessica N. Turner When we made the decision to divorce, I felt like I was sitting on the floor of hell, everything was dust, everything was different.–Jessica N.

Description: Maddie Corman is a seasoned American actress and playwright that you've seen in classic films including Some Kind of Wonderful, Maid in Manhattan, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and our favorite television shows like Law and Order, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Most recently, she has put her creative hand to writing and performing in a very raw and vulnerable autobiographical one-woman play called Accidentally Brave, that delves into Maddie's personal journey following the arrest of her husband on child pornography charges in 2015. Today, Maddie shares her story of navigating the aftermath, focusing on themes of resilience, healing, and redefining normalcy when life takes an unforeseen turn. In this tender and transparent conversation, we discuss: How Maddie's life turned upside down after a public personal crisis—and how she found her way back What led to her decision to write a raw, hilarious, deeply moving one-woman show called Accidentally Brave (now a movie on MAX!) What she imagined midlife would look like when she was younger versus what it looks like from where she sits today What it's like to walk (or sometimes crawl) through shame and loss—and come out with more freedom, more truth, more YOU Also, how motherhood shifts our perspective in crisis What practices or people help us stay grounded in the hard moments – Maddie shares some really great resources! Why midlife is actually the best time to tell your story and start again Thought-provoking Quotes: “After a really big trauma that I thought was going to destroy my children, it turns out, they are thriving, and funny, and sensitive, and smart, and caring, and annoying, and they love me, and I drive them crazy, I'm sure. I share that because I feel like that was what saved my life was somebody who had been through something similar saying my kids are going to be okay.” – Maddie Corman “When you lose your mother, people bring a meatloaf over. But when your husband's arrested and you say ‘I think he's a sex addict and a porn addict,' there's no meal train that's coming for that.” – Maddie Corman “I had lived 47 years when this happened and I had never met another person who had gone through anything like this. P.S. It turns out I had. They just didn't share about it.” – Maddie Corman “You inch your way back to the sunshine and it's so slow. And at the beginning you just think, everything's ruined; I'll just never be happy again so let me cobble together some sad life that just gets me to the finish line. But the truth is, it's stunning how much we can recover.” – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Some Kind of Wonderful film (1987) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094006/ John Hughes - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000455/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1 Brené Brown - https://brenebrown.com/ Glennon Doyle - https://momastery.com/ Elizabeth Gilbert - https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/ Accidentally Brave Play - https://www.maddiecorman.com/accidentally-brave Accidentally Brave on MAX  - https://play.max.com/movie/b19ce99f-93c8-4150-ba0d-139e12048efe Partner Betray Counseling - https://www.maddiecorman.com/partner-betrayal-counseling Find a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) Therapist - https://iitap.com/page/TherapistDirectory Find a 12-Step Program - https://www.aa.org/find-aa  SANON International - https://sanon.org/ AL-ANON Family Groups - https://al-anon.org/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.maddiecorman.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/msmaddiecorman/ Twitter - https://x.com/maddiecorman Connect with Jen!

He even directed the pilot of BEVERLY HILLS 90210. So how do you interview THAT?!?

On the latest episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo heads back into the fists-first world of “Reacher”, which just wrapped its action-packed third season on Prime Video. Based on Lee Child's novel “Persuader,” this season sees Alan Ritchson return as the titular wrecking ball, going undercover to extract an informant—and settle an old score along the way. But while Reacher does plenty of punching, it's the emotional gut punches that make this season stand out—especially those delivered by new cast member Anthony Michael Hall.Yes, that Anthony Michael Hall—the ‘80s teen comedy icon from “The Breakfast Club,” “Sixteen Candles,” and “Weird Science.” But here, Hall plays Zachary Beck, a Boston arms dealer with a complicated past and even more complicated parenting instincts. What might sound like another mustache-twirling villain role turns out to be anything but.READ MORE: The 75 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2025

Kirby: "I always thought we'd be friends forever."Kevin: "Yeah, well forever got a lot shorter all of a sudden."Despite popular belief, the Brack Pack wasn't established with a John Hughes movie, but instead in the wake of a film about recent college graduates struggling to adjust to adulthood called ST. ELMO'S FIRE. Over the past 40 years, the film has been declared "one of the worst films ever made," despite a star-studded cast of all-time greats, including Academy Award-nominee, Demi Moore. Does the movie deserve the hate? What does the Brat Pack obsession say about us as a culture? The Wives Colangelo are diving deep into the 1980s to talk about a movie they weren't alive to see during its debut, and trying to make sense of how this movie and those who made it would change pop culture forever.---Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----Donate to The Okra Projecthttps://www.theokraproject.com/----Article ReferencedI Don't Think One 1985 Brat Pack Movie Deserves The Unfair Hate It Gets: https://screenrant.com/st-elmos-fire-criticism-reviews-negative-wrong/St. Elmo's Fire Might Be the Worst Movie Ever: https://consequence.net/2015/06/worst-movie-ever-st-elmos-fire/----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
