About this listen
Today, we’re talking about Joel Schumacher’s 1985 film St. Elmo’s Fire about - as IMBd puts it - “A group of friends, just out of college, struggle with adulthood.” And that is putting it kindly. The film begins with Jules, Kirbo, Billy, Wendy, Alec, Leslie, and Kevin all graduating from Georgetown and diving head first into the deep end of adulthood with nothing but privilege, good looks, booze, credit cards, and penchant for being complete jerks. As a matter of fact, the film should receive an award for the sheer amount of atrocious behavior demonstrated by our fashionably disastrous group of so-called adult protagonists. And all of it is passed off as charismatic, relatable, harmless tomfoolery which I can only justify by saying “Hey, it was the 80’s!”
The film stars Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Mare Winningham, Judd Nelson, and Andie MacDowell and has a run time of 1 hour and 50 minutes.
