‘Weird Science’ Revisited

Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt dig into John Hughes’s 1985 teen classic, Weird Science, unpacking its over-the-top ’80s vibe—think sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll (plus obligatory chips, dips, chains and whips)—and celebrating the on-screen magic of Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock and Ilan Mitchell-Smith.

Along the way they give a nod to producers Craig Horlbeck, Chia Hao Tat and Eduardo Ocampo, toss in a State Farm sponsor shout-out, and remind you to subscribe to The Ringer’s YouTube channels for more movie deep dives.
