Hard On The 80's - #8 "Soul Man"
This week we waded into the black-faced waters of Soul Man, a 1986 comedy starring ponyboy himself, C. Thomas Howell, as Mark Watson, privileged young man who has been accepted into Harvard Law School! However his wealthy father decides to teach him a lesson in becoming a man by NOT paying for school. What’s a young, affluent white kid to do?
Dust off your Amos and Andy tapes, it’s time to talk about Soul Man!
"Yuck," says Shonda.
