Brat Pack America – A Love Letter to 80’s Teen Movies and the Places They Happened

We're ready now to talk about the subject at hand: '80s teen movies.

Kevin Smokler’s written a book about this, called "Brat Pack America — A Love Letter to '80s Teen Movies and the Places they Happened."

He’ll be at Changing Hands Bookstore in Phoenix tonight to talk about it. We started by asking about if the settings of these movies was actually a character in them.
