Revenge on the Nerds

In Weird Science, the John Hughes ’80s nerd classic, two nerdtastic nerds attempt to create the perfect woman, but she turns out to be so much more. Starring Anthony Michael Hall (of Breakfast Club fame), Ian Mitchell-Smith (of no real fame at all) and Kelly Lebrock, this one’s as John Hughsian as it gets. Bill Paxton and Robert Downey Jr. co-star. It’s playing tonight at midnight at the Capitol Theatre as part of the Melt Bar and Grilled Late Shift Series. Tickets are only $5. Wear your scrunchies, stretch pants, starter jackets and high-tops. (Allard)
