I'm Claire Fallon and I'm Emma Gray and this is Love to See It, an obsessively detailed

recap podcast about reality dating shows like The Bachelor and other pop culture that makes us laugh, cry, and curse the patriarchy.

We can't live with these shows and we can't live without them but we can break down every juicy moment and unpack all the weird messages these shows send us about love, sex, and dating.

I'm not drunk, bro. Stop drunk, bro. I'm fired. Can you keep up? I like love.

Welcome to Love to See It, a podcast about volcanic ensembles and how loves just a bitch.

And the prom, obviously, it's always about the prom.

Above all, it's definitely about the prom. On this week's romcom rewatch spring break edition, we're diving back into the 80s with Pretty and Pink, our first John Hughes movie.

I am so excited and here to join us on this John Hughes journey is Sarah Edmondson, who you may know from her wonderful podcast, a little bit culty, and her role in HBO's docu-series the vow.

Sarah, I am so excited to have you here and to talk about this beautiful 80s classic.

I'm so excited to be here. I have so much to say I'm bursting. Oh my god, I'm so glad. I'm so glad you saved it all for the pod.

First of all, we always like to ask our guests, what is your relationship with romantic movies in general?

Well, first of all, I have to say I'm just not going to say how much, but a tad older than you both.

So, well, I was born in 77. So in the 80s, a lot of these movies were coming out, but I was probably a little too young to see them.

And then I had, you know, like I think I saw on my own probably like Princess bride and then Ferris. So good.

Yeah, so good. And like Ferris Bueller's, I know you did an episode on dirty dancing, which I'll circle back to later.

But really, my foray into it was I had an aunt, a really cool aunt who's only 12 years older than me.

Like we were closer than age than her and my mom. And she lived in, we were in Vancouver and she lived at, went to UBC at the time.

She was a university and she, she babysit me and she introduced me to like the breakfast club and pretty in pink and 16 candles.

And that was, that's the earliest memory that I can think of as like my, my journey with these movies.

And then it continued from there. I think with movies like Harry Met Sally and, you know, I mean, all the John Hughes movies.

But then I think the movies that you all had as your backdrop were kind of later for me. And then I have like a 12 year gap because I was in a cult.

And I didn't watch like any movies. So I don't think that we're good movies coming out then.
