1986’s Pretty in Pink, written by John Hughes, tells a story of life, love, and social cliques among 80s high schoolers in the suburbs of Illinois.

Kevin and Mike are joined by their friend Jen Towers, who's been researching the Internet manosphere (incels, pick-up-artists, etc.) for her dissertation to discuss where some of the characters in the film fit into that world. Discussed: Is Duckie an incel? (probably not), should James Spader be given a lifetime achievement Oscar for his work in this film (probably yes), and the movie's amazing, amazing soundtrack.
