Top 5 John Hughes Movies
Show Notes Transcript

In this mini episode we are rating our Top 5 John Hughes movies! Come with us as we weigh out whether planes, trains or  automobiles are the best way to get to Wally World or if we would rather "Save Ferris" then go on Vacation at all! 

Ashley:

what's up? You felt the animals? It's me, Ashley. Hello, nostalgic

Aaron:

friends. It's Erin

Garret:

and this is Garrett, and you're listening to Nossal. Amy.

Ashley:

Mini, mini, mini, mini

Garret:

What are we talking about today? Ashleigh

Ashley:

To stick on the theme of we tied'em together. This month we talked about 16 candles in our main episode and we decided we're gonna rank our top five John Hughes movie. I didn't realize how many movies he actually did. He's known for, The National Pons Vacations, which are a Christmas tradition and then 16 candles. But I didn't realize how many, not so great movies. You did When I was doing my research. A lot of his later 90 family ones really dropped off in ratings. They just weren't these cult classics like he was doing in the beginning.

Aaron:

Do you think he was trying to make those for the same audience that weren't kids anymore? Or Possibly. Try to keep the same formula from the eighties, but it just wasn't the eighties anymore,

Ashley:

Some of'em I hadn't even seen to be honest, but I noticed a real drop in both IMDB ratings and Rotten Tomatoes on some of those movies, and I was like, Ooh.

Garret:

to give him a little bit of credit. I do think that in the nineties and the two thousands, they were trying to milk a franchise for everything it was worth. They would take something that was and just trash it, and we, can get into some of that when we start doing our list, but how many movies that you would want a sequel to, and you would see, oh, hey Blockbuster, you have this sequel. Cool. You get it home and you're like, what in God's name is this abomination?

Ashley:

You're like already rented it. Sucker No returns.

Garret:

What is this? 5 0 5 Like five Oh Ghost That hell like,

Ashley:

I mean, well, yeah, like Home Alone six or whatever. They got really into the home alone. Yeah.

Garret:

They can overdo it sometimes. Less is more. When you have a singular story or even a trilogy it can be really good if that's what they've written it as, but they can sometimes take it way too

Ashley:

far. for sure. There are a few shows that I've watched that I have loved and they have said, We only wanna do three seasons. This is how it's written. And even though I want more, I really respect and appreciate they didn't do the nose dive that a lot of'em do by trying to hang on. So I get it. I get it. All right. what would you say makes a John Hughes movie? When you think of John, who's movies, what comes to the top?

Garret:

I would say in the eighties, he was very known for his teen drama. 16 candles, pretty in pink. Very hyper-focused on teenagers. And then he started to expand a little bit more with playing streams and automobiles. Home alone. and the list goes on They're almost kind of like, feel good movies. I don't know if it's a directorial eye but when you're watching one John Hughes movie and you watch another one, they almost feel like they're connected in the same universe, almost like the M C U.

Ashley:

so fun story about that. I was Reading this earlier. so A lot of them like Ferris Bueller, 16 Candles. The Breakfast Club, we're all in a, fake town called Schirmer, Illinois, And it was a representative of the town that he grew up in. And what was really cool about it is, a lot of the extremes that you see in the high schools, he said that's how his school was, is you would have the poorest of the poor person going to school with the richest person, and you would just see these extreme factions in the high school, which feels like any high school, but he. You had 1100 people there and it was everybody in the town and he created his own universe because all of these were in the same town, which doesn't exist. Interesting.

Aaron:

cool. Did, did you see where they wanted to put him in their hall of fame and he declined it? No,

Ashley:

is Shermer Illinois A real.

Aaron:

No, the high school that was based on his real high school. Oh, okay. Okay.

Garret:

I was confused too. I was like,

Aaron:

they wanted to put him in their hall of fame and he declined because he said I did not have good memories there and, he turned them down.

Garret:

That's what you get high school for. Not being supportive.

Aaron:

So when I think of a John Hughes movie, I always think of a good soundtrack. Montages oh yeah. Breaking the fourth wall, how the characters will stop and look,

McCullough Caulkin or Ferris Bureau.

Garret:

That's true. I didn't notice that.

Aaron:

Great side characters that are hilarious sometimes. Not necessarily

Ashley:

Um, I don't really need, and I'm air quoting there to be there, but at the same time, you couldn't see it any other way. Yes,

Aaron:

exactly. Bring something, chat and weird science or long Doug Dong, even though we talked about That's what I was trying to get at. Even though the caregivers weren't always. Politically correct. There you go. Thank you. Yes, thank you.

Garret:

I do feel like some of his movies Were like lightning in a bottle. I think that's why some did well, cuz you would have these perfect actors and these perfect scenes and then other ones, they just kind of fell.

Ashley:

I feel that we'll get into it about one that I thought flopped, it had the recipe for being good, but it didn't have all those things in place that make a John Hughes movie.

Garret:

Oh, interesting.

Ashley:

So one of the things that he does do is a lot of times uses the same actors, even if they're kind of side characters. We talked about Michael Anthony Hall and 16 Candles the vacation ones, and he's in a bunch of'em. And then Edie McClurg, I think is how you say her last name. She's the secretary in Ferris Bueller. She's always this character that's on the phone and kind of having someone wait Yeah. And then, John Candy, he's either a lead or he shows up in one of'em I was watching he was a boss that was giving an interview, and he wasn't in there very long,

Garret:

do you think. Hurt him or made these movies better. Do you think they were good or bad because he used the same people so much?

Ashley:

I liked the nod especially doing a rewatch Cuz I watched'em all in like three days. So being able to connect Edie Mcle. she's having a baby Ferris Bueller. Right. I think it's cool. It's a little Easter egg Hey, if you watch my other movies, this is What to expect. okay, one of the things I noticed, and I wanna know if anybody else noticed this or has noticed it before, this might just be cuz I've worked in rescue but I noticed that there was some animal stuff that I was like, no, not funny, John Hughes thinks that animals cruelty is funny because in the, one, he kills the cat by electrocuting it he ties the dog to the back of the car and takes off in Nlo Prince vacation and the dog dies. At first I was like, maybe it's just the is there and then the police officer's like, I'm gonna go pick the rest of the carcass off the road. and then in the great outdoors, they shoot a bear I don't like it. So I don't know if I'm just being more sensitive,

I can definitely do without the

Aaron:

animal cruelty

even

Aaron:

In scary movies, where everybody's dying. I'm like, better not kill that

Ashley:

dog. Yeah, I know. worst, right? I can't do it. I don't wanna watch it. I've seen enough of it. so that was just a little something I noticed that. Hasn't aged well, yeah. We could do without it. And these movies would be fine. the other thing I think about when I think. John Hughes is the formation of the Brat Pack, I'm not gonna go too far into it. Maybe we'll do an episode on it. But I was reading about it earlier, the Brat Pack is a play on the Rat Pack. And it started with the group from the Breakfast Club and St. Al's Fire. For the record, John Hughes did not direct Saint's Fire, but a Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Allie Sheie. it's all started in 1985, where a guy. was gonna do an article on a Emilio Estevez by himself, and then found out that he was at the Hard Rock Cafe with this group that he was filming with. they hated it the article was not a good article. It painted them in a really bad light. Specifically Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Judd Nelson. after that it actually split up the brat pack because they didn't wanna hang out socially anymore The actors did not wanna be associated with the brat pack. They could not shake it after that. And then other people fell under that umbrella after like the guys from the Outsiders I just thought that was really interesting cuz I think of it fondly and I think everybody called him the brat pack. But it started with this one guy that even admitted later he wish he had not had written the article. Rob Lowe and, Judd Nelson said that it did affect their career cuz it painted. as unprofessional just interesting. I I had no idea

Aaron:

Rob Lowe was even part of the pack, though. when I think of the Brat Pack, I don't think of Rob Lowe at all.

Ashley:

I think it's cuz of Saint Almost Fire. they were all pretty young All right, so before we get into our list, is there any that you thought were just a big flop

Garret:

Yes. she's having a baby. And I know this one is near and dear to some people, I brought it up today at work and one of my co-workers was like, oh, I love that movie. And I was like,

Ashley:

just tell her to re-watch it.

Garret:

yeah, I probably should. there were certain parts I did like in the movie. So He's a writer and it's all about, growing pains of getting married and obviously, getting up to the point of having a baby. I do. Really appreciate that you got moments in his head where he was in a situation and his imagination would take over. Like everybody who's cutting their lawn, all of a sudden it turns into a musical and they're mowing their lawn and dancing it didn't really make sense, but it was fun or the one that really got me to chuckle is they're getting ready to have sex and he's getting ready and he's pumping himself up about it. And he looks at the picture that she has of her dad on the bedside table, and he's smiling and then he is like, the things I'm gonna do to your daughter. And then the picture changes to him, with a, oh my god, expression,

Ashley:

It felt like, Ally McBeal had taken a lot off of that concept. Yes. Where it's things are happening in the office. Mm-hmm. and then it's all her imagination and I did really appreciate that as

Garret:

well. Right. That really made the movie much better and watchable But I don't know if it's just because so much has changed it just didn't land well. I was bored for a lot of it. I thought they could have taken a lot out or got right to the story a bit more. I will say the characters were well played, the dad. the mom, And Who doesn't love Kevin Bacon? They were good. I just felt they needed different material. And so that movie was one that kind of flopped for me.

Ashley:

Would you consider it a flop in general, or that you thought you liked it and then when you re-watched it, you realized you. I

Garret:

remember watching it with my sister and enjoying it, I was so young at the time I wouldn't have been able to understand what the movie was about. And now that I do as an adult, It just was boring to me. And when it did land, I was like, eh, okay.

Ashley:

I felt like there were some that I couldn't tell, if I just didn't like it or that I thought I liked it before and now I didn't as much, I had fond memories and then I re-watched it. I'm like, huh? I just don't relate to it like I did.

Garret:

I would say in this one, I didn't go in with really any expectations so it wasn't like, I'm gonna love this film. I just remember watching it with Sivan, and then being like, eh, not my cup of tea.

Ashley:

Aaron

Aaron:

I didn't rewatch this but it's one that I have seen recently within the last maybe year or so that I didn't really care for is pretty in pink. I'm sorry. I think it's kind of like 16 candles. Reboot, flop. I don't really agree with it.

Ashley:

Interesting.

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just

Aaron:

compared to the other ones, is what I'm saying. Right. I would watch it and I enjoy it, but if I had to pick one that I don't really care for, I would rather watch 16 candles than that movie.

Garret:

I'll jump in on, his bandwagon, because when I was going through movies, it was one that kept popping up and I remember. Not being crazy about it I don't remember the movie very well. But I watched a couple trailers of it and I was like, I can't watch this movie. I think I will want to shoot. Ducky or whatever his name is,

Ashley:

Which is hilarious cuz He is my favorite part of the whole movie. I literally wrote, she works in a record store and Ducky done Like, that was the only thing I loved about the movie.

Garret:

No, I was like, I won't be able to sit through this movie because I think it's aged a bit and the characters are already annoying me through the trailer. so a hundred percent agree with You. Hello.

Ashley:

Oof. Yeah, it might come up again later, so I won't get too far right now. Yeah. so mine flopped. Mine was like a scathing 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, which was the movie called Career Opportunities. I don't even know the lead actor in this. Really the concept. Jennifer Connolly and this dude who works as a night janitor get locked into a target together. You think it's gonna be rom commi and then these robbers come in. Which one you will recognize as an actor? Now, I'm trying to think of what, like the wedding date. I can't remember his name, but he's been in a few things Anyway, he has a mullet. It's bad. So the kid is, They, she even calls him the town liar. He's basically just this kid who lives at home with his parents and he's not even likable. So the fact to me that they were gonna try to plug him into being a love interest just wasn't working for me. no way. not even an adorable, beautiful Jennifer Connolly. Could save this movie, It was

Aaron:

bad. Yeah. I hate when they do that, we have two people here. There has to be some kind of love story. There's no way.

Ashley:

I felt like if you possibly recasted it without this person, I don't know if he was even on anything else,

Garret:

frank Whaley is his name.

Ashley:

The concept was cute, and I love me some Jennifer Connolly, but it was just not great storyline. It Trying to be so much more than it was there's only so many scenes you can have of them being in an empty target and roller skating and eating things we get it. You're in Target also, he trashed that place and he's the janitor and then by the next day he's gonna clean all that up. I don't think so.

Aaron:

Oh yeah. See the robber. he's been in, okay, I

Ashley:

talking about, yeah. Dark and handsome, in his very eighties mullet. But this was the one that had the John Candy cameo that was probably the funniest scene in the whole thing.

Garret:

I actually remember having fond memories of this, but I think I know why think about who he's doing these movies for, teenagers, young people., in the eighties or nineties, I forget when this was done. 91 so I would've been around 11, 12 So the idea of being locked in a store overnight and being able to do whatever you want it just sounded fun. I remember the feeling of liking it enough that I actually didn't think it was that.

Ashley:

Yeah, You are giving me death looks, I would recommend a rewatch is all I was gonna say, I'm not dying on this hill of this movie is terrible and you can't like it. I just think less of you. But, you know,

Garret:

I'll take

Ashley:

it. I'm not sure if we could be Brads anymore, but yeah, it's uh, your 12 year old self gets some grace from me to like this movie. But if you rewatch it and you say that we might have to rethink this whole situation. so before we get into it, I wanna say this is what the masses have said is their favorite, their top John Hughes movies. I did the I M D B rating, and then I averaged the critic rating with the audience rating of Rotten Tomatoes. I can say the top three were pretty similar, highest one was the breakfast club and that. A 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.8 on I M D B. None of'em got above eight. That was the highest was 7.8 Plane strains and automobiles was number two, but it was neck and neck with Ferris Bueller's day off. they both had a 7.8, 7.6 I imdb and then The only reason that that one jumped up was cuz it had 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, where Ferris Buer had 86. the third are National Lampoon's vacation and Christmas vacation. Very close. And the lastly, it was home alone which was 7.7. He was a writer on this, but, it has a 90% audience rating or 78% average, but 90% for people not critics, you

Garret:

I'm surprised that one wasn't higher.

Ashley:

Home alone. Yeah. I think the IMDB rating. but the runner-ups are 16 candles and then some kind of wonderful, which I think it's nostalgia is why people liked that one. The actors in it were great, but the storyline just flopped. For me, it wasn't as bad as career opportunity when it it wasn't up there. So who wants to get us going on their top five

Aaron:

I can because mine is almost exactly what the masses are.

Ashley:

Oh really?

Aaron:

Sheep That's so funny. Number five, I have 16 candles. Number four, national lamps. Christmas vacation. Three home alone, two Ferris Bueller's Day off One Breakfast Club

Garret:

Ferris

Aaron:

Bueller and Breakfast Club could be alternated. And I'm not a big Christmas person, but I have two Christmas movies in my top Yeah. Yeah. Okay. When I got done with this, I'm like, I know. It's gonna be almost what, the popular, you know? Right. I know it is. And I'm sorry for that popular demand.

Ashley:

That's how I feel, man. Hey, you have a group of people that can rally behind you where Yeah, that's fine. I, think

Garret:

we're just gonna make fun of Aaron if he starts going ba

Ashley:

what is it about Breakfast Club that makes it your top? What made it rise above?

Aaron:

it's nostalgia when I watched as a kid, I thought they were the coolest. that when I watch it now, I still think they're the coolest, even though it's square and some of the storylines they haven't aged well. but I think the characters are great. Even though it's one of those things we just gotta talk about. You have two girls, two guys and another guy, and they all end up falling in love. Everybody's got a couple up there. Even though it's the oddest couple that have been going to school for the last however many years together, but that's what

Ashley:

makes it cool. Yeah. Broke down barriers. They didn't get to spend that time together and really get to know each other.

Aaron:

I love the weed smoking part where they're lancing. It's fun. Everybody's different.

Ashley:

They were really connected. We, we'd bring some US all together. It

Aaron:

does. It brings us

Garret:

or you guys all together,

Ashley:

me. He's really good at not incriminating himself, don't you? Yes, yes. So someone who's had run-ins with the law before, like that ain't mine.

Aaron:

And my favorite part is the very end When it freezes after he puts the earring in is that, Hey.

Ashley:

Hey,

Aaron:

heys. Just, Hey, it's so good. I don't care

Ashley:

who you're, it's good. That song will never not be synonymous with this movie. No doubt. All right. Garrett, how about you? I'll go last cuz I have two lists because I'm extra

Garret:

so my number five is National Lampoon's Christmas vacation. Just because it's a classic and it's like comfort food. it's just good, all of it's funny. Even though I hate Chevy. he's good in these movies. I think these are the only movies he's good in, at least he did something right?

Aaron:

On the rewatch, I feel sorry for the neighbors I really do. Elaine from Seinfeld and the other dude, now that I'm older,

Ashley:

they're just trying to live their lives.

Aaron:

they're really, they're not bothering him at all. They're just wanting to do some yoga and drink some wine, and he's shining lights and.

Ashley:

Breaking their windows.

Aaron:

Yeah. I mean they're weird and they're probably bad people, but I kind of feel sorry for'em now that I'm older. Yeah.

Ashley:

They're just not spirit.

Garret:

Let that tree fall.

Aaron:

Oh,

Ashley:

something against the neighbors. I know.

Garret:

I don't know. my number five breakfast Club being my number four. Mm-hmm. this is one of the movies I have probably seen, I would easily say over 50 times. it would come on it, whatever would be at home on the weekends or something like that, and we would just watch it and it's really good. The characters are defined. I wanted to be some of the characters or just be friends with them. My number three would be 16 candles. And if you wanna hear us talk about that, you can go to our previous episode, plug that movie was just great it's still good to this day, even with all the stuff That's aged poorly. It's still a really good movie, and my top two are in the same universe home alone, two being number two and home alone, one being number one. Oh, I love those movies. I was influenced by Kevin McAllister. I remember ordering cheese pizza. I would put water in the winter On

Ashley:

our, the driveway. Yeah. Oh

Aaron:

my God.

Garret:

Yeah. My mom is like, you were gonna get

Aaron:

us sued. You a poor

Garret:

pizza guy, man. No, I wasn't trying to kill the pizza guy. I would just do it randomly.

Aaron:

you said get cheese pizza, put water on the thing. So I'm thinking,

Garret:

sorry. I said them too close together. I would order cheese pizza Because I wanted to be like Kevin and then I would also water down the ports and try to kill people cuz I was just a mischievous child. I just wanted to be in that universe. I still have very nostalgic happy memories when I watched both of those films the first one obviously still does well in the second film. I. Even though it's a little like could this really happen? Like this is like really, this is

Ashley:

very coincidental. Yeah, it's pretty A stretchy, yeah. Do you wanna stretch? Wanna say that if you worked at Dominoes in the eighties and lived in Michigan, Garrett is, sorry. for your back. You can send the bills too, but they both were. Yeah, those are good choices.

Aaron:

Yeah. Kevin was a cool kid. He always. Something smart to say. He had the talk boy. Mm-hmm. he always had a

Garret:

plan. Oh, the talk boy, man, I wanted one. I had

Aaron:

one. It didn't work like it did on there. You couldn't record and then rewind real fast and then play it back like he did, like a prank call. It didn't work like that.

Garret:

You totally tried prank and call with

Aaron:

that. Oh, for sure. So back when we were younger, there was still a live operator in the town we lived in. So if you made prank calls, the operator would call back to your house. until they got to talk to your parents Oh, no,

Ashley:

mm-hmm.

Aaron:

I recently watched both of these movies and New York, it was a good one. It was funny. It's almost kind of unbelievable and I always think that the homeless lady that he meet, How does she not have bird poop all over her? Is what

Garret:

I, what I was, oh no, dude. I think the kids who watched it loved number two and saw like, oh yeah, this could totally happen, because they were still so into it, you know? as a grown adult though, I'm like, instead of running back and giving that lady that dove, I'm like, could you have like packed a couple cheeseburgers,, you know, she was hungry here's a dove. she's like, I wanted a Turkey and some stuffing.

Ashley:

And when

Aaron:

you, you said number two, I was thinking of poop. like, I'm like, They love number two. I'm

Ashley:

like, what? We always know it with Aaron, it's gonna come back to poop. I caught it and I had a second of Okay. Yeah. we're just gonna move on from that. And then Aaron said it,

Aaron:

So it's not, nobody says number two,

Ashley:

nobody

Aaron:

The kids love number two is what you said,

Garret:

whatever.

Aaron:

And of course, I'm too child, just to

Ashley:

let us know. I know. He can't let it slide. that's where the maturity comes in is I caught it and we're just like, let's move on. And Aaron's like, you gotta talk about the poop. Okay, so mine are not gonna be anything that you haven't said. Actually Rewind. I did a pre watch list,

Garret:

A pre watch.,

Ashley:

I did a pre rewatch. it's all, everything. I thought about John Hughes movies before I was gonna watch'em again

Garret:

it

Ashley:

and my list would've been 16 candles. Number one, Ferris Bueller, number two, curly Sue as number three. Oh, home alone one. And I put two as a close second. So I did put the home alones together I'm with you. I feel like it's aged fine. It's still good. Kids are still gonna get it. It's not gonna go outta style. Mm-hmm. and number two. Mm-hmm. Just kind of was nostalgic and I did like the little homeless lady and Pretty, and Pink would've been my fifth. I always knew it had a weak storyline, but there was something about Pretty and Pink that always had me coming back to it. On Curly Sue, I think with Home Alone and Curly Sue, we were at that age where it was a young girl. I was a young girl. I was probably around her age. I related to her. If you don't know what Curly Sue is, it's a homeless girl and a dad and he teaches her all these ways to make money by conning people. They still have a set of rules. They don't steal, they don't do certain things, but they. you know, in some rich lady's house and Curly Sue gets her little makeover and So I rewatched almost all of the John Hughes movies, we don't have to get into it, but I may not be employed right now, so I have a lot of time in my hands. I didn't get fired for the record. Okay. So after the rewatch, I had a jump. Ferris Bueller jumped to the top, and really the main reasons are because of all the things we talked about in our other episode of some of the things in 16 candles, just not aging as well, where I feel like Ferris Bueller doesn't have. Mega cringey moments where I'm just like, oof. It still makes me have warm and fuzzy. She's got gummy bears in her pockets. I mean, it's just, It's a winner for me, I always think of the bow, bow,

Aaron:

Oh, yeah. I love the museum scene where they're looking at the different pictures that's my favorite part of the movie. It's one that sticks

Ashley:

out. Yeah. And I love Cameron. I don't know why I like him. He's kind of like sad puppy then my third one, which I had never even seen, was great outdoors with Dan Aykroyd and John Candy. Really, you've never seen. Mm. And I know why, when I saw the cover, I'm like, this doesn't look like something that I would like.. It's two SNL actors. I thought it was gonna be their typical, slapstick. And I actually really liked it more than I thought it had adult humor. I thought Dan Akroyd would've played the John Candy role, and then John Candy would've been the annoying guy encroaching like how they played plane trains and automobiles, even though the ending of that changed. But it wasn't, I loved having them in roles that I didn't see them in. It was a young Annette Benning, she was rich and I know And then Home Alone is my next one, which is my number. Quotable, memorable age as well. It's gonna stand the test of time. Now my last one is she's having a baby And this was for the rewatch? Oh gosh, yeah. It what? It's I, breakfast Club didn't even make it, which I keep wondering why I liked it, but I felt like after 16 candles I lumped together, pretty and pink. And, they just never lived up to it, so it just dropped off for me. Right. Mm-hmm. But it was for some of the reasons that you said Garrett the storyline itself was a little Yeah. Rough. You're kind of like, where are we going? But I loved his imagination in it. There's a young hot Alec Baldwin with a baby mullet.

Garret:

Oh yeah. That Hello

Ashley:

If it wasn't making the list before then I was like Um, yeah,

Garret:

as a young guy, God, he is hotly that hairy chest. Ooh,

Ashley:

love. Maybe that's why I made the list. But either way, I loved Kevin Bacon in it. I thought all of the actors for the parts that they were given played them really well. I mean, I got it. It's a dude who's. has all these dreams, like being a writer and ends up starting a family and being caught in dead ends, but still trying to pursue his dreams. I love the alibi, like scenes where, his brain really gets away from him. So, that actually made My fifth one on my rewatch. Yeah,

Aaron:

you pulled the old switcheroo on his I was surprised. Very surprised.

Garret:

I gotta say though, so many people have seen the Breakfast Club and like I was saying, it was always playing, but I still enjoy it. But Ferris Peeler's Day Off in a perfect hell it, that movie would just keep playing over and over and over and over and over for me. And not to say it's not a good movie, but that movie was on so. Much as a kid I remember turning it off and then going to a different channel and they'd be playing on that channel and then going to another channel Cause it's so good

Ashley:
