86. Pretty in Pink with special guest Amber Shaw - a podcast by Scott and Pete

It’s the best high school movie of the 80's with the worst prom dress committed to film. We watched Pretty in Pink (1986) with our friend Amber Shaw and we wan’t a candy machine in the boy’s restroom!  John Hughes' masterpiece of the class struggle in American high schools is as timely today as it was in the consumerist 80's.  Molly Ringwald's "grandma-chic" Andy is relatable without being a MarySue and Duckie (Jon Cryer) is the archetype coded gay best friend. Is Blane (Andrew McCarthy) too much of a wimp for Andy? Maybe. Do we still strive to be as cool as Iona (Annie Potts)? Definitely. Was Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) redundant? We talk about these questions and so much more in Episode 86 of Movies That Made Us Gay!
