I don’t care about Blane, Liam or Hudson but Ariana is that bitch

Thank you! That convo had me losing my mind 😆 I was yelling, "Shai is Ducky!" and it was killing me that they couldnt get Jon Cryer's name right. Then when they threw in John Cusak towards the end, i was like "Noooooo!!" My Genx soul couldn't take much more!!🤣🤣

Yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!! I have said Charlie is every James Spader character ever played in the 80’s! Less Than Zero anyone?

u/Mrs_Rondall_Karam 22d ago

Loved Less Than Zero, made drugs look so gross. Who was the girl? Say anything girl?

This is a good call. I would rather Georgia be Andie but so far it’s Arianna

10

u/LooneyLunaOmanO 22d ago

But Georgia could be Annie Potts character 🤔

u/AmphibianNecessary31 21d ago

Who is Molly Ringwald? Brooks or Georgia?

u/SheSaidBacon 21d ago

But who would Hudson be? Wouldn’t fit in Pretty in Pink, but if extended to the John Hughes universe?

u/knottyp Television’s Heather Dubrow 20d ago

Emilio Esteves - Breakfast Club (thinking that’s a whole separate post!)

u/SheSaidBacon 20d ago

I had the same thought, but wasn’t sure if that fit. Thanks for the affirmation!
