Sixteen Candles (1984): No More Yanky My Wanky
from Totally 80s and 90s Recall · host Totally 80s and 90s Recall
"Sixteen Candles" is basically what happens when a teenager's worst nightmares come true all in one day. Samantha Baker turns 16, and not only does her entire family forget her birthday, but she also has to deal with a geeky freshman trying to win her heart, her crush not even knowing she exists, and her grandparents invading her privacy. Dave, Rob and Kurt will dig into all the funny, and perhaps bad parts of this 40 year old movie. Add in a wild party at the popular kid’s house and a very confused exchange of underwear, and you’ve got the ultimate recipe for teen embarrassment. It’s a hilarious ride through the minefield of high school with a sweet ending that proves even the worst days can turn out surprisingly great!

Rob, Dave, and Kurt open up the 80s time capsule to revisit John Hughes’ directorial debut, Sixteen Candles. We’re debating the film’s status as a coming-of-age classic, the incredible breakout performance of Molly Ringwald, and how the movie’s more controversial elements hold up—or don't—four decades later.
