Hello, hello.

2

I'm Katie and this is Retro

Made, your pop culture rewind.

3

Let's see what's in store for season two.

4

This season we are headed to Shermer High

and beyond with the films of John Hughes.

5

We know him as the master of teen angst,

heartfelt comedy, and road trip disasters.

6

From the fictional suburb of Shermer,

Illinois, to epically chaotic family

7

vacations, his movies captured the

humor, heart, and humanity of growing

8

up in the eighties and nineties,

and they still remain relevant today

9

on this season.

10

We'll revisit the iconic films that

defined an entire generation and

11

also uncover some more obscure works

that reveal the depth of Hughes

12

talent beyond those cult favorites.

13

Now, what makes John Hughes

coming of age stories timeless?

14

And how did he capture

adolescents so authentically?

15

How did Hughes approach

stereotypes in his films?

16

And how might his

storytelling hold up today?

17

And how did music shape Hughes films?

18

Why did he shift from teen

movies to family films?

19

These are some questions that season

two will explore and I've mixed up

20

the format of the time capsule to

help us get in the retro frame of

21

mind, including several new segments.

22

Here's just a few VHS felt.

23

Retro runway, commercial countdown,

totally tasty, and a lot more that

24

you will have to tune in to find out.

25

So remember to be kind and rewind

with me every other week, wherever

26

you listen to podcasts or on YouTube.

27

Let's get to it.
