Pretty in Pink

Katie and guest Kyle Peterson head back to 1986 to revisit John Hughes’ classic teen romance **Pretty in Pink**. They spin the time capsule wheel for 1986 pop culture trivia (Nancy Drew, Ramona Quimby, Light Bright, mullets, The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Dallas, Murder She Wrote, and 60 Minutes), then dive deep into the film.

They discuss Molly Ringwald’s Andy, the unforgettable Ducky (John Cryer), Blaine (Andrew McCarthy), the class divide, that controversial ending, Iona’s wild style, and whether Andy should have ended up with Ducky or Blaine. Plus comparisons to *Some Kind of Wonderful*, 80s fashion, and why the movie still sparks debate decades later.
