DAC Episode 385 - Weird Science (1985)

DESTROY ALL CULTURE

John Hughes famously wrote the script for Weird Science in only two days, but it’s likely that he was carrying around this particular fantasy in his head for at least a couple of decades. How else do you characterize a story about horny adolescents who create the perfect woman in their bedroom?

Granted, most raunchy ‘80s teen comedies don’t escalate the stakes into absurdity in the same way that Weird Science does, with nuclear missiles and mutant bikers spicing up the third act. So listen below - or find us on your podrelayer of choice - as Adam and Aidan take this one apart and reassemble it, Frankenstein-style, on the slab of their minds. Their mindslab. You know.
