What's your favourite part of Sixteen Candles, the date rape scene or the casual racism? We kind of hated all of it, tbh. Heather and Jemma reluctantly accept that the '80s may not have been the greatest decade to be a teen, and that John Hughes didn't always get it right. Related topics: Heather's sexual awakening happened during Lord of the Rings. Ew. And Jemma accepts some sticky toffee pudding from her flatmate.

DISCLAIMER: due to some technical difficulties there's some overlap between mine and Heather's voices near the end of the ep. You might think we're just rude, and we are, but we swear we weren't talking over each other. Enjoy!
