Episode 8
Thursday, 18 September, 2025

What'sa happenin' hot stuff? Bob, Brad, Carla and Mark are back to discuss one of our favorite movies, John Hughes' first feature film, Sixteen Candles. This movie did not have an official soundtrack, but the songs featured in it are a killer combination of new wave, post punk and rock 'n' roll. Here are four songs we felt would have made the soundtrack cut. Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music.
