Description

(Trigger warning: sexual assault) Paige talks about the John Hughes movies that defined her coming-of-age years – "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club" and "Pretty in Pink" – and what parts did not age well. She emphasizes how important it is to look at everything with a critical eye, even the cherished films of your childhood. Topics include sexual assault, rape culture, racism against Asian Americans, 1980s class issues, misogynistic comedies of the 1970s and 1980s and more.
