Just Talking About St. Elmo's Fire

This interesting, charming and somewhat forgotten 1980’s film is both a complete time capsule, and a relatable reminder of what is is to be in your early twenties. In this week's episode we discuss the idealistic views of each character that seem to portray the idea of having expectations, and of thinking that life should be a certain way or really wanting to be something that you are not quite yet. At the same time we talk about the so called “Brat pack”, how the saxophone was the official instrument of the 80’s, and also how this time laid the brickwork for the popularity of future movies about teens and young people.
