Episode 3: Some Kind of Wonderful

Some Kind of Wonderful was John Hughes’ rebuttal to how Pretty In Pink played out, but who is doing the rebutting now as Erik Childress and Morgan Gire dig into the 1987 drama? Are Keith’s attempts at romantic gestures an insane overreach or are sometimes the simplest acts the most revealing? Is Watts an icon of the time or just a passive-aggressive thorn? Is Amanda just another unattainable beauty or something more beneath and surface and is Craig Sheffer really worth all the drama? Most importantly though, why is there not more Elias Koteas? All these questions and more are broached in a very lively discussion about whether this is a friendship or a relationship for a generation that wears its future well. This is a public episode.
