Sixteen Candles (1984)

"I can't believe that I gave my panties to a geek." The wives are finally diving into the patron saint of teen movies, John Hughes' directorial debut, SIXTEEN CANDLES. This week BJ talks about the rite of passage for Chicagoland teens experiencing John Hughes cinema, Harmony has a full breakdown after drawing a parallel from the treatment of Long Duk Dong to her own family's treatment of immigrants, and both have to grapple with the normalization of rape culture present in what is considered one of the most classic teen girl movies ever made.
