Ferris Bueller’s Day Off : They Think He’s a Righteous Dude!
To think, there was once a time when people felt safe enough
to make out with Charlie
Sheen in a police station (or anywhere else, for that matter). Welcome to the
school-ditcher’s
guide to Chicago!
Listeners, we welcome our first legitimate adult to the podcast, the legendary, the amazing Morgan Rodgers! Darth’s dad showed up on the scene dressed in his sophisticated take on Ferris Bueller, and it just doesn’t get more epic than that.
On this particular episode, Jason, Darth, and Morgan discuss the greatest John Hughes film of all time. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a feel-good movie where the characters are as light as feathered 80s hair, complete with shoulder pads, leg warmers, and one seriously cool car.
To be fair, Cameron may have gotten murdered by his father
after he destroyed that beautiful Ferrari,
but Ferris runs home
in time to witness the defeat of the evil emperor Rooney.
And isn’t that what really matters?
On our journey through 1986 Chicago with Ferris and the
gang, we discovered some fun facts:
Twist and Shout was used
in Ferris
Bueller’s Day Off and Back
to School. Finally, a hot meal for Paul
and Ringo. Cameron
is the protagonist
and Ferris is the antagonist. Discuss. Danke Schoen is the
gopher through-line
of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Ben
Stein has no room for improvment in his knowledge of economics.
Of course, even perfect 80s classics leave us with unanswered
questions. Is Abe Froman the
real Sausage
King of Chicago? We may never
know, and we’ll also always wonder why he never showed up to his lunch reservation
at that French restaurant.
Regardless, the charm of Ferris Bueller prevails. This
should be evident if for no other reason than the incredible Mr. Rodgers picked
it for his episode. So jump in the Ferrari with your favorite podcasters and
enjoy the ride.
