Podcasting is always fun ... if you do it right. Last night our band of heroes talked about 1970s commercials. This was the first time we had gotten together since December, having decided that we needed to take a little break. Getting the band back together last night was nothing short of magical as we had a lot of great laughs and one of my favorite moments was singing the lyrics to this commercial as a group.

MOLLY RINGWALD AND ANDREW MCCARTHY TURNED DOWN ROLES.

Hughes offered his frequent collaborator Molly Ringwald a role in Some Kind of Wonderful, but she rejected it. “I declined because I felt like the script wasn’t strong enough and was too derivative of the other films I’d already made with John,” Ringwald told The Atlantic. “He wanted me to play the role of a character called Watts, which went to Mary Stuart Masterson, but I was ready to graduate from high school.”

McCarthy felt the same way. “Hughes asked me to do it. I had just made, like, three of those movies in a row,” he said in You Couldn’t Ignore Me If You Tried. “It seemed like we just kept making the same movie.” Deutch also offered a role to Michael J. Fox, who obviously passed.

REAL GENIUS WAS THE FIRST MOVIE TO BE PROMOTED ON THE INTERNET.

A week before Real Genius opened, promoters set up a press conference at a computer store in Westwood, California. Coolidge and members of the cast appeared to field questions from press from across the country—connected via CompuServe. Though the experience was evidently marred by technical problems (this was the mid-1980s, after all), the event marked the debut of what became the online roundtable junket.

Martha Coolidge's 1985 film 'Real Genius,' starring Val Kilmer, ranked first among equals from that decade for its stellar cast, sensitive direction, and genuine-nerd bona fides.
