Lea Thompson, Eric Stoltz and Mary Stuart Masterson in a publicity photo for John Hughes' 1987 film Some Kind of Wonderful.

Welcome to this first official episode of The FilmJerk Podcast, which will cover a wide variety of aspects of 1980s cinema. Sometimes we’ll cover a specific film, or a specific filmmaker’s career during the decade, or one of the many film distributors (completely independent or studio dependent) that popped up and/or flamed out during the decade.

For this episode, we’re going to talk about the 1980s output from writer/producer/director John Hughes, the industry-changing legend who passed away ten years ago this week.
