Published: July 5, 2016, 7:40 a.m.

John Hughes \n\n

And the Brat Pack. Uncle Buck and Breakfast Club.

\n\n Smagic \n\n

Science so unscientific, it is magic: smagic. Callbacks to pygmalion and Frankenstein.

\n\n Sexism/Objectification \n\n

Boy howdy. Literally using a barbie to create a living sex object. Consent. Creating sex bots. The 1950s comic on which the movie was based.

\n\n Geekery \n\n

What are they? what are we? Geeks? Nerds? Both?

\n\n Growing Up \n\n

Adolescence sucks. Being a sexually frustrated teenage boy. Fantasies and ethical concerns.
