He actually had it in mind, to write up a whole thing about their town of Shermer, and explain where everyone lived and who knew who.. So for example, Molly Ringwald's character in _The Breakfast Club,_ knew Ferris from school. _(twas the same school)_ Emilio's character is somehow related to Sheen's character in _Ferris Bueller.._ _(his family owns the towing company that tows Rooney's car)_ The Griswolds from _National Lampoons,_ the Mcallisters from _Home Alone,_ the Buellers from _Ferris Bueller,_ The _Weird Science_ kids, Steve Martin's character in _Planes, Trains and Automobiles_ (and Ringwald's character in _16 Candles)_ all lived in the same town, and existed in the same universe.

Anthony Michael Hall was in the same cast as Robert Downey Jr. and Joan Cusack at that time. Hall is also the only SNL cast member who was underage when he joined (most SNL cast members are somewhere between 18 and 21, with 20 as the average age, at least in the current era. Anthony Michael Hall was 17 when he was hired).

5:40 - The woman who plays "Lisa" is actress Kelly LeBrock. She first rose to stardom/recognition in her role in the movie that came out the previous year titled, "The Woman In Red", co-starring Gene Wilder (of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). She used to be married to Steven Seagal at one point. LeBrock's career began as a model. P.S.: Speaking of Gene Wilder, two truly classic comedy films with him that you two should definitely check out are "Silver Streak", and "Stir Crazy", both films co-starring legendary comic, Richard Pryor.

And Elsa Lanchester as the bride, so glamorous and bizarre - perfection!

Not long after this movie Anthony Michael Hall went on a fitness bender and came out of it more than 50lbs heavier with muscles. It was done natural as he did not trust steroids which were still legal though discouraged. This was one of Robert Downey Jr's first breakout roles. A couple of years later, however he was repeatedly busted for drug use and most in hollywood thought he would be dead by the 90s. Downey Jr cleaned up and went on to being a major star in hollywood.

He was in Edward Scissor Hands too. Anthony Michael Hall is hilarious! Never get tired of this movie. I was a teen and most of the jokes flew right over my head!😂😂😂

That’s the original 1931 Frankenstein but colorized. Boris Karloff played the monster.

Chet is a weird character, never thought I'd see a young Bill Paxton (male lead from Twisters)

23:55: “Gary was just taking a sh*t!” Wyatt’s smile before Gary’s slap.😂 Oh…that will never not be funny to me.

[@PML78]

Slap the 80s out of him 😂🤣

[@RADRICK19]

This will always be a favorite of mine, I was 10 yrs old when it came out. To this day I still tell people "How you ding, how you ding"

[@durtyredd5000]

20:15 The best reaction ever! 😂😂😂

[@vivianamora7505]

Another 80’s classics. These movies were the best!

Ahhh I'm so excited you guys are finally doing weird science!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ this movie and Im glad you understood the premise. Yes she's a grown woman and looking at it from "today's" PC lense this movie has cringe galore!!! But the point is that she's supposed to be a teen boy's fantasy and Im glad Amber recognized it 👍🏼 and with that enjoyed the movie. That "Oh Gary!!!!" Scene still gets to me! Lol P.S. The reason Lisa can do magic is because of the Houdini input in creating her, to answer Amber's Houdini question. Again ❤ your reactions. 💯

You also saw Bill Paxton as Fred Haise in Apollo 13.

Anthony Michael Hall was in dozens of movies and an excellent series based on a Steven King novel, "Dead Zone". Just 3 years after this he made "Johnny Be Good" about a top college football prospect with a very young Uma Thurmond as his girl friend.

When Amber said at the 8:45 mark, "I'm not trying to understand how it's happening. I'm just going to roll with it" ~ I knew at that point she was going to have a great time watching the rest of the movie..... and when Anthony Michael Hall's character, Gary, got plastered at the bar, there were times I thought Amber was literally going to fall out of the chair she was laughing so hard..... and she completely lost it when Gary said "Well my nutz are halfway up my a$$ but other than that I'm perfect!" So as much as you both laughed and enjoyed this movie as adults, imagine being a 14-year-old boy seeing this for the first time in a packed movie theater! The combination of John Hughes directing and Michael Anthony Hall acting in the mid-1980's was gold; and I don't think there was a teenage boy in 1985 that didn't have a crush on Kelly LeBrock. Between the Woman in Red (1984) and Weird Science (1985) there were a lot of posters sold of her that were hanging on the wall in boy's rooms. I've enjoyed quite a few of your reactions, but honestly, I don't think I've seen the two of you having as much fun as you were having while watching this movie. This reaction was an absolute good time to watch along with.

[@pumpkinhead34]

The 80's were the best! And yes this is how we partied back in the day!

[@dannymac4668]
