The life of a working-class high school student is turned upside down when she starts dating a rich kid. Listen as we discuss anticlimactic proms, computer flirting in the 80s, and what parental abandonment has in common with quicksand. Then we see if Pretty in Pink stands the Test of Time.

John Hughes is one of the most successful film makers of the 80s and we sit down to watch his 1986 Rom-Com - Pretty In PinkDirected by Howard DeutchWritten by John HughesProduced by Lauren ShulerStarring Molly Ringwald, Harry Dean Stanton, Jon Cryer, Annie Potts, James Spader, Andrew McCarthyCinematography Tak FujimotoEdited by Richard MarksMusic by Michael GoreDistributed by Paramount Pictures[1]Release dates January 29, 1986 (Mann's Chinese Theatre)February 28, 1986 (United States)Running time97 minutesBudget$9,000,000 (estimated)Gross US & Canada$40,471,663Opening weekend US & Canada$6,065,870Mar 2, 1986Gross worldwide$40,480,653

“You said you couldn't believe in someone who didn't believe in you.” Join Ian, Liam & Megs for our 319th episode as we dive headfirst into lace gloves, record store shifts, and 1980s romantic angst with John Hughes' Pretty in Pink (1986). It's class divides, prom politics, and the eternal question of who really deserves Andie Walsh. This week we discuss: Molly Ringwald as Andie — resilience, insecurity, and whether she's a fully realised protagonist or a Hughes archetype dressed in vintage. Blane's behaviour — romantic lead or emotional liability? Does the film let him off too easily? Duckie's devotion — lovable underdog, manipulative “nice guy,” or something more complicated? The class tension at the heart of the story — is the film actually saying something about wealth and identity, or just dressing teen drama up as social commentary? Megs unpacks the fashion — iconic, chaotic, deeply 80s. Does the final dress deserve its reputation? Ian explores the alternate ending — what changed, why test audiences intervened, and whether the original choice would have made for a stronger film. Liam questions the soundtrack supremacy — is this peak 80s needle-drop culture, or nostalgia doing heavy lifting? The father-daughter dynamic — quiet emotional centre or underdeveloped subplot?  Are certain viewers predispositioned to be on board with this - or not? The prom climax — catharsis, compromise, or cultural time capsule? We debate whether the film romanticises inequality — and whether Andie's final choice feels empowering or regressive. And finally, whether Pretty in Pink is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most enduring teen romances of the 1980s.

We revisit Pretty in Pink at 40 and admit the movie's plot is fine while the soundtrack is legendary. We trade takes on Ducky, Blaine, Spader's chill menace, WLIR Screamers, and how a film's music can outlast its script.Then we fast-forward to a blistering live night with Drink the Sea at the 40 Watt in Athens, where Peter Buck, Barrett Martin, and Alain Johannes stitched songs to cinematic visuals and welcomed Mike Mills for a thunderous take on R.E.M.'s The One I Love.• Red Hot Chili Peppers Aeroplane chart note• Ramones estate ownership and legacy control• Lincoln Lawyer needle-drops and sampling talkLearn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

Released in 1985, Tuff Turf is an underrated 80s teen drama that blends street gangs, high school romance, rebellion, and punk rock attitude into one unforgettable cult classic.Directed by Fritz Kiersch (Children of the Corn), the film stars a young James Spader in his first leading role as Morgan Hiller, an intelligent and rebellious teen from Connecticut who is forced to move to Los Angeles after his family loses their business. Struggling to adjust to his new environment, Morgan quickly clashes with a local high school gang known as “The Tuffs.”Things escalate when Morgan falls for Frankie Croyden (Kim Richards) — the girlfriend of gang leader Nick Hauser (Paul Mones). As tensions rise between rival teens, territorial pride, jealousy, and violence push the story toward an explosive showdown. Along the way, Morgan befriends the eccentric and fast-talking Jimmy Parker, played by a very young Robert Downey Jr. in one of his early film roles.Tuff Turf captures the raw energy of mid-1980s teen cinema, combining elements of romance, action, and coming-of-age drama with a distinctly neon, punk-inspired aesthetic. The film also features appearances by Donald Fullilove (Back to the Future) and includes music from The Jim Carroll Band, adding authentic 80s grit to its soundtrack.Though it received mixed reviews upon release and earned a modest box office performance, Tuff Turf found new life on VHS and cable television, eventually earning a reputation as a cult favorite among fans of 80s teen movies. Today, it stands as a fascinating early chapter in the careers of both James Spader and Robert Downey Jr., long before their rise to mainstream fame in films like Pretty in Pink, Less Than Zero, Iron Man, and television hits like The Blacklist.For fans of classic 80s movies, teen rebellion stories, retro nostalgia, and early performances from major Hollywood stars, Tuff Turf remains a hidden gem worth revisiting.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Episode Description: “What's the smallest gesture that's ever made your day?” That's the question at the heart of this lively episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where Sandy, JB, and Tricia invite listeners into a world of nostalgia, local pride, and the everyday moments that truly matter.The show kicks off with Sandy's fitness journey, sharing how a simple invitation to hot yoga reignited his motivation. But the real magic happens when the crew dives into the 40th anniversary of “Pretty in Pink,” sparking a hilarious debate about classic movies, streaming services, and the quirks of finding old favorites. “Tubi's trying too hard. Watch me, watch me. Yeah, let's be friends. Please, please,” jokes Sandy, as the team navigates the maze of modern streaming options.Tricia then drops a bombshell: Cedar Park, Texas has surpassed Austin as one of the best places to live in the United States. The hosts celebrate their hometown's rise, highlighting the unbeatable convenience, top-notch schools, and the “bubble” of great restaurants. “How are we living here and can't think of a single place to eat tonight?” Sandy laughs, capturing the universal struggle of dinner indecision.The episode's heart shines through in a memorable story about surprising a loved one with cookie dough. “Sometimes it's just the littlest things go so far,” Sandy reflects, after making dinner and popping cookie dough in the oven for his wife. The conversation turns playful as JB and Sandy swap tips for winning at dinner plans and reminisce about the joys (and frustrations) of grocery shopping—plastic bags, canvas totes, and the legendary Trader Joe's mini bags selling for thousands overseas.  Notable moments include reflections on the passing of Dilbert creator Scott Adams, the ever-changing landscape of Austin's hike and bike trails, and the weird, wonderful spirit that keeps Austin unique. With laughter, warmth, and genuine insight, this episode reminds us that life's biggest joys often come from the smallest surprises.Call to Action: If you love stories that celebrate everyday wins and local pride, don't miss this episode!

In their season seven premiere, Anna and Derek discuss Blane's gaslighting of Andie, perhaps the most severe case of friend-zoning ever, and much more during their breakdown of the teen classic Pretty in Pink (1986).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

La historia de las versiones extendidas se remonta a los 70s. En pleno furor “Disco” los DJs necesitaban versiones más largas para las pistas de baile, no las versiones de 3 minutos que sonaban en las radios. Así fue que las discográficas, ayudados generalmente por los propios DJs, comenzaron a publicar los singles de baile en formato de 12 pulgadas, con versiones extendidas. Durante los 80s esta moda continuó, no solo dentro de la música de baile. Prácticamente todos los singles publicados tenían su versión extendida en formato de 12 pulgadas. Se trataba de versiones de 7 u 8 minutos con intros, puentes y finales instrumentales más largos. En algunos casos se potenciaba el sonido de la batería o se agregaba alguna percusión o coro. No fue hasta finales de los 80s con la llegada del House cuando llegaron las remezclas tal como las conocemos hoy en día (modificando el BPM o directamente la melodía) llegando a crear una nueva canción.

Long before Kim Cattrall appeared on HBO as the outspoken, sexually confident, “I'll try anything once” Samantha Jones in Sex and the City, she played an Egyptian woman under a spell and reincarnated as a shop-window dummy.  Inspired by Pygmalion, the tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses poem which tells the story of a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved, it's admittedly the kind of storyline that was only plausible in the 1980s.  And we loved every second of it!So hop on your motorcycle, meet us at Prince & Company Department Store, and keep an eye out for vicious guard-dog, Rambo, as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Bethany Wells, discuss “Mannequin” from 1987 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast!Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:​If "Mannequin" seems a little formulaic to you, that's no accident. It was the first movie produced by Hollywood market research guru Joseph Farrell, who perfected the system of focus groups and test audiences that studios often use to tweak films and make them more commercial.​No one from the original film, except Taylor, returned for the 1991 sequel, "Mannequin 2: On the Move." This time, the dummy-come-to-life was yet another "Pretty in Pink" alum, Kristy Swanson.​Mannequin was written and directed by Michael Gottlieb, who had to wait until 1993 for another go with the Hulk Hogan vehicle "Mr. Nanny".Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, Box Office Mojohttps://www.moviefone.com/news/mannequin-movie-facts/https://www.fast-rewind.com/trivia_mannequin.htmhttps://www.anothermag.com/fashion-beauty/11080/when-kim-cattrall-played-a-mannequin-come-to-life-in-1987Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

The off-kilter, libidinous, captivating actor James Spader doesn't get the attention he deserves and this episode is here to rectify that. I spoke with (new) Spader fan and horror journalist Amber T about the talented and unforgettable actor. Welcome to the fold, Amber.

Everything was big in the 80s. The hair. The fashion. The movies. That included a slew of romantic comedies with modest budgets, but which became box-office smashes thanks to their novel concepts, sparkling scripts, and charismatic leads. In what other decade could you have a film about a magic mannequin that was secretly a naive sexpot, or gruff Australian hunter who charms the pants off a big-city reporter? Only the 80s, baby! So crack open a Bartles & James, warm up your crimper, and plate your McDLT, because the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to make love, not war, as we attempt to name the Best Romantic Comedy Film of the 1980s. Films discussed: When Harry Met Sally, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Mannequin, Big, Moonstruck, Hairspray, Overboard, Sixteen Candles, Coming to America, Arthur, Roxanne, Pretty in Pink, Look Who's Talking, Crocodile Dundee, Splash, Romancing the Stone Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Jonny Minogue and Kevin Dillon, and special guests Maggie Hartman and Anna as they discuss and debate 16 of the most swoon-worthy films of the 1980s.

Everything was big in the 80s. The hair. The fashion. The movies. That included a slew of romantic comedies with modest budgets, but which became box-office smashes thanks to their novel concepts, sparkling scripts, and charismatic leads. In what other decade could you have a film about a magic mannequin that was secretly a naive sexpot, or gruff Australian hunter who charms the pants off a big-city reporter? Only the 80s, baby! So crack open a Bartles & James, warm up your crimper, and plate your McDLT, because the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to make love, not war, as we attempt to name the Best Romantic Comedy Film of the 1980s. Films discussed: When Harry Met Sally, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Mannequin, Big, Moonstruck, Hairspray, Overboard, Sixteen Candles, Coming to America, Arthur, Roxanne, Pretty in Pink, Look Who's Talking, Crocodile Dundee, Splash, Romancing the Stone Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Jonny Minogue and Kevin Dillon, and special guests Maggie Hartman and Anna as they discuss and debate 16 of the most swoon-worthy films of the 1980s.

In this episode of the LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson sits down with Andy McCluskey, singer and co-founder of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), for a conversation that blends history, creativity, and reflection. Speaking on the heels of OMD's recent 2025 U.S. tour and the 40th anniversary reissue of Crush, Andy offers an inside look at what it took for the band to break into the American market after years of reinvention. Andy recalls the intense late nights recording Crush with producer Stephen Hague, and how the experimental chaos of Dazzle Ships led OMD to regroup and redefine their sound through Junk Culture and Crush. He details the band's distinctive creative process—from tape loops and early samplers like the Emulator and Fairlight to the unique textures that shaped tracks like “Secret” and the Japanese-inspired title song. Throughout the episode, Andy shares behind-the-scenes moments that shaped OMD's legacy: writing “If You Leave” at the last minute for Pretty in Pink, the bittersweet radio life of “Secret,” and the political spark behind “88 Seconds in Greensboro.” He also reflects on OMD's roots—early Liverpool gigs, lifelong friendships, and the art and imagery (including Edward Hopper's influence on the Crush cover) that helped define their identity. The conversation closes with a look ahead at OMD's plans for future touring and new music—proof that even after four decades, Andy's passion for innovation and melody remains as sharp as ever.

Kris, Phil Tom and Jez give flowers to TFC's road win, applaud a Pierre Sage rebuild at Lens and review a good week for French teams in Europe. There's also some Les Bleus National Anthem nostalgia!

Shock, horror. Leicester City didn't win at the Hawthorns. But we did get a late late point thanks to Nat Phillips. City were pretty in pink, pretty on the eye, but lacking a finish. Is Carranza the answer? Should Monga start this week? and does anyone know any Welsh?

Jon Cryer is a candid truthteller and conversationalist! If you saw the new Charlie Sheen Netflix documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, you know what I'm talking about. Hang out with the Pretty in Pink, Two and a Half Men, Supergirl actor and me for a talk filled with inside Hollywood stories about the Brat Pack, Charlie Sheen, Demi Moore and more. Find out who Jon dated, who rejected him, why he almost quit the business and why having a therapist as the host of this show is just perfect. This talk is from 2024. I'm re-releasing it today because of (1) the doc and (2) there's been wrinkle in my plan to kickoff my lineup of brand-new episodes starting today. It involves hiring a team to help and it not quite running according to plan. These things happen. It's frustrating. But it's life. Gotta fix it and move forward. The new lineup will indeed kick off soon. Just not today. So please enjoy Jon Cryer in the meantime. Coming soon: Many new episodes, including Cesar Millan, Eric Roberts and Kaja Sokola, who testified against Harvey Weinstein in his recent New York City trial. Thanks for listening.

Molly Ringwald is her own fairy godmother, a Cinderella stuck in a love triangle between her best friend and a wealthy classmate, in this teen dramady from John Hughes. Did we like it? More than we thought, but not without some reservations. But hey, it has a killer soundtrack, a very sleazy James Spader, and Annie Potts in a beehive wig. Starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Annie Potts, Harry Dean Stanton, and James Spader. Written by John Hughes. Directed by Howard Deutch.

On August 6, 2009, John Hughes — the filmmaker whose heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply human stories captured the soul of American adolescence — died suddenly of a heart attack while taking a morning walk in Manhattan at the age of 59. With classics like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles, he turned teen angst and suburban life into timeless art. As a writer and producer, he shaped pop culture with hits like Pretty in Pink and Home Alone, leaving behind stories filled with sincerity, wit, and the kind of truth that still resonates decades later.

It's a cheap, flimsy whimper of an ending for the legendary franchise, and killed any other Superman movies for 19 years.

In Part 1 of a two-part conversation, Jon reflects on growing up in a show biz family and learning acting the hard way. Plus what it's like playing the romantic lead opposite two of the most famous actresses of our time: Demi Moore and Molly Ringwald…THE CONVERSATIONSusan and Sharon share the crazy story of how they met Jon Cryer and got him on the show!BEING AN ACTOR IS CRAP: First day, first film, Jon is 20 years-old -- and Robert Altman is throwing fake bird shit all over him.

But it turns out he wasn't a virgin: “I just seemed like one.”On opening day of No Small Affair, Jon snuck into a theater just in time to see himself take off his shirt on screen -- and hear someone yell: “Where's the beef?”When Jon met Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald on the Pretty in Pink set, he thought they didn't like him. Turns out he was only half-right.The original ending of Pretty in Pink has Molly Ringwald's Andie politely shutting down Andrew McCarthy's Blane, and dancing in solidarity with Cryer's Duckie (to Davie Bowie's Heroes) -- but test audiences HATED it! So, the ending was changed making sure that Andie ended up with cute and sensitive, rich-boy, Blane.GETTING MOSHED: While filming Dudes, Penelope Spheeris had Jon and castmate Dan Roebuck thrown into the mosh pit at a Vandals concert -- and they barely lived to tell about it!So, join Susan and Sharon -- and Jon -- as they talk Morgan Freeman, Escape From Alcatraz, Richard Gere, Wonder Woman, Al Pacino, Cher, Annie Potts, Mark Hamill, The Bad News Bears -- and getting naked for laughs on Two And A Half Men!AUDIO-OGRAPHYListen to Suzanne Rico's podcast The Man Who Calculated Death (produced by Jon Cryer and Lisa Joyner) at TheManWhoCalculatedDeath.comAnd Jon's other podcast, Lawyers, Gun & Money at Apple. Watch all 12 seasons of Two And A Half Men on Peacock.Watch Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor on Supergirl on Apple or on Netflix.Buy Jon Cryer's autobiography, So That Happened at Bookshop.org.Or Listen to So That Happened on Spotify or Audible. Arts Funding is under attack in this country.

In this episode of Film Lag, Nick introduces Chris to the 1986 classic Pretty in Pink, starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, and Andrew McCarthy. As a first-time viewer, Chris dives into the heart of this quintessential John Hughes-era teen drama, discussing:

Send us a textKatie and Bridget make their own prom dresses as they re-watch the 80's classic: Pretty in Pink! Come along as we meet Andie, a teenage girl who's POOR. DON'T FORGET IT! She's got style, she's got a job, she's got full time mother responsibilities to her out of work father, and she's got her own personal stalker! Aka her "friend" Duckie! When Andie gets asked out by Blane, one of the "richies" from her school, they have the worst first date ever and after they make out she says she loves him! Also he immediately invites her to prom! Wtf! But this movie asks the deep questions we all have wondered at some point in our lives, such as: Can a poor girl date a rich dude? Should we call the police and/or the guidance counselor about Duckie and the fact that he's been held back for the last couple of years? 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!? Released in 1986, it was written by John Hughes and stars Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts, Andrew McCarthy, and James Spader.
