Anthony Michael Hall | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

About this episode

Billy Corgan sits down with Anthony Michael Hall (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science) for a funny, honest conversation about fame, failure and five decades in Hollywood. Hall traces his start to a music-filled home and childhood auditions that began as an after-school hobby. He talks about growing up on movie sets, living near the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off house and staying determined through a 15-year stretch when work was scarce. He also looks back on two John Hughes films he passed on and an unexpected call from Stanley Kubrick about Full Metal Jacket. From The Breakfast Club and Weird Science to Tim Burton, a rough SNL season, a surprise Lorne Michaels story and a moon-landing rabbit hole, the conversation wanders through ’80s nostalgia, the odd realities of show business and quieter reflections on fathers.
