Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #523: Bueller, Bueller, Bueller

This week we’re taking a day off—Ferris style! Join us as we revisit the beloved 1980s comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off, one of the most iconic films from writer-director John Hughes. From breaking the fourth wall to unforgettable moments across Chicago, we discuss why Ferris, Cameron, and Sloane’s legendary skip day still resonates decades later. Is Ferris a charming hero or a master manipulator? Either way, this John Hughes classic remains endlessly quotable and wildly fun.
