Here's why Chicago is an '80s kinda town
If Ferris Bueller loves Chicago, we must all love Chicago. And so this week's Stuck in the '80s podcast salutes the music, movies and culture of the our beloved Second City.
After you listen to this week's show, you're discover several things:
- Sean Daly is the Ferris of Chicago-loving '80s goons.
- I'm more of the Cameron Frye sorta guy. Though I bet I've been to Chi-town more times than Daly. Take that!
- And who is the Sloane Peterson for this week's podcast? Well, that's this week's surprise.

Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.

Great to hear Cathy again, always a good time when she's around.
Fun podcast, I had forgotten that there were so many Chicago based movies.
I have like the movie Adventures in Babysitting too, if it's on TV I watch it. Haven't broke down and bought i yet. Perhaps someday I will.

Cathy is SO RIGHT about going to Portillo's. What she described is the beef and cheddar croissant. I have not been able to go to Portillo's since I started my diet in January.

Psssst....In keeping with this Chicago theme, thought you might like to know....
Forever music fan John, took a break from filming his latest flick to enjoy sets by Urge Overkill and Tinted Windows at Chi-Town's "Taste of Randolph" Saturday night 6/20. He loves music and catches lots of shows when he comes home. He was also seen wolfing down a strawberry funnel cake.
Cast mate Crispin Glover also made the scene.
