This week on The VHS Club, we’re heading back to 1987 for one of John Hughes’ most underrated teen romance classics, Some Kind of Wonderful! And this time, Katie and Nat are joined by a very special guest: Sean (“Tater”) from the But Mostly Disney podcast 🎉
In this episode, we’re diving into the world of Keith, Watts, Amanda Jones, questionable high school social hierarchies, and one of the greatest friendship-to-lovers arcs the 80s ever gave us. Join us as we:
🥁 Talk about why Watts may be one of the BEST 80s teen characters
💘 Break down the Hughes love-triangle formula and why it hits different in this film
🎨 Revisit the iconic art, music, and style that made this movie stand out
🎞️ Share behind-the-scenes trivia, fun facts, and all our VHS-era nostalgia
👑 Debate: Is this secretly the superior version of Pretty in Pink? (Some say yes. Loudly.)
So grab your leather jacket, hop behind the drum kit, and meet us in the garage, it’s time to relive Some Kind of Wonderful.
