In this episode of Film Lag, Nick introduces Chris to the 1986 classic Pretty in Pink, starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, and Andrew McCarthy. As a first-time viewer, Chris dives into the heart of this quintessential John Hughes-era teen drama, discussing:

😍The iconic love triangle: Andie, Duckie, and Blane. Was it really a love triangle? I mean, c’mon Duck Man, get the message!

👗The 80s-licious fashion: From thrifted pink dresses to Duckie’s flamboyant style, how does the film’s aesthetic hold up today?

🎭The message of the film: John Hughes is known for his comedies, but this film plays more like a drama, with deeper tones. Can Nick and Chris peel back this flick’s hormone-laden layers?

Join them as they break down the highs and lows, discuss how this film lands with modern-day dads, and debate whether Pretty in Pink still packs the same punch decades later. Tune in for laughter, nostalgia, AI fun, and maybe even a little heartbreak!
