Dust off your letterman jacket and grab a mixtape, because Tales From Hollywoodland is heading back to the ultimate era of teen movies—the world of John Hughes and the Brat Pack.

This week, we celebrate the films that defined the 1980s, shaped pop culture, and perfectly captured the highs, lows, and awkward brilliance of growing up. From detention at The Breakfast Club to the romantic chaos of Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink, John Hughes gave a voice to teens everywhere—and Hollywood was never the same.

We also dive into the rise of the Brat Pack, spotlighting stars like Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, and Demi Moore, whose films became instant classics and lifelong comfort movies. Whether you were a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, or a criminal, these movies spoke to all of us.

So press play, sing along to the soundtrack, and join us as we revisit the magic, the legacy, and the unforgettable movies of John Hughes and the Brat Pack—because some films never grow up.
