The Ringer’s Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt dive headfirst into John Hughes’s 1985 teen sci-fi comedy Weird Science, dissecting its blend of adolescent wish fulfillment, outrageous ’80s style, and classic Hughes quirkiness. From Anthony Michael Hall’s nerdy duo to Kelly LeBrock’s iconic “perfect woman” come to life, they unpack all the sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll, chips, dips, chains, and whips you can handle in this Rewatchables episode.
They also shout out producers Craig Horlbeck, Chia Hao Tat, and Eduardo Ocampo, plus a quick State Farm plug about bundling with the Personal Price Plan®. Don’t forget to subscribe to the Ringer-Verse and Bill Simmons YouTube channels, and follow The Ringer on social to keep the nostalgia train rolling.
