Episode 26: Weird Science (1985)
from Haven’t Seen That in Forever Hosted by SAAM LLC
This week on Haven’t Seen That in Forever, we’re revisiting Weird Science (1985), John Hughes’ completely unhinged combination of teen comedy, science fiction, and the question: what if two horny teenagers could build Kelly LeBrock with a computer? We’re talking Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Bill Paxton delivering an all-time performance as Chet, bras on heads, mutant bikers, inexplicable government hacking, and a movie that somehow gets much weirder than its title suggests. Forty years later, is Weird Science still a hilarious ’80s classic? Or has time turned this experiment into something else entirely? Fire up the computer, connect the electrodes, and try not to accidentally launch a missile.
