Sixteen Candles

This week on the Exciting & New podcast Jason Andy and Dana welcome Prodigal Son Logan back as they discuss the 1984 start to the Hughesiverse, Sixteen Candles. In this coming of age movie, hottie Senior Jake is somehow into basic looking Sophomore Sam. It makes zero sense. Anthony Michael Hall starts his long run playing the Nerd. In fact, he is billed in the credits as "The Nerd". Look it up. Gedde Watanabe plays Long Duk Dong, quite possibly the most stereotypically racist character ever put in a movie. I mean, I laughed every time he appeared on screen, but I didn't feel good about it. Enjoy the pod.Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new
