“Some Kind of Wonderful” may be the last of the John Hughes teen rom coms, but it’s first in our hearts! This week Sophia and Jen are joined by Neil, the man behind the popular Twitter account @neilbelieves, to discuss one of our favorites, as we continue our High School Movies series! We’ll look into the troubled development phase of the movie, which temporarily drew in another legendary director; we’ll explore the careers of Mary Stuart Masterson, Eric Stoltz, and Lea Thompson; we’ll discuss the movie’s spectacular “kiss that kills”; and we’ll talk about high school movie tropes from over-the-top detentions to truly horrible bullies! Plus, check out our unexpected, decades-too-late sequel idea!
