155: Pretty In Pink with Charlene Lydon - Live at the Lighthouse Cinema, Dublin

The Lighthouse Cinema very kindly asked us to do a live episode as part of their Not Another Teen Season and we said absolutely yes of course we will.

Alan and Andrea talked to the programmer at the Lighthouse, Charlene Lydon, about Pretty In Pink and we got into it. We had a long, enjoyable chat about every aspect of the film: the music, the dress, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts, all the important stuff. There was one Team Duckie person in the audience, one Team Steff, and everybody else was Team Blane so it was a diverse crowd.

Thank you to our very incisive audience members who provided comments and questions at the end and thank you to everybody who came. Thanks again to the Lighthouse for inviting us.

The clips from the movie we played were as follows:

1: An intro to the boys. Duckie and Andie in the hall. Steff and Andie at her car. Blane walking into the record store.

2: Blane buying the record from Andie.

3: Montage of Andie making the dress.

4: Andie confronts Blane at his locker.
