St. Elmo's Fire with author Chelsea Cain - Main Event

Chelsea Cain--the best-selling author of Heartsick and the subsequent five books in the Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series, which count themselves amongst the more than a dozen books and comic book series on her bibliography--sits down with us to talk about the movie from which the term "Brat Pack" sprung unflatteringly, the 1985 Joel Schumacher film starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham, St. Elmo's Fire. How did the messiest post-graduation year in history for a group of friends(?) play after decades of not having seen this movie? How did every single non-Andrew McCarthy male character read in the 21st Century? Do all of the very best friends commit felonies against one another before agreeing that they've graduated to being brunch people? The only way to find out the answer to these and so many other pressing questions is to strap in and venture into the Unkind Rewind, but bring a jacket this week, we wouldn't want you to die from catching a chill.

St. Elmo's Fire is somehow only available on VOD right now, despite nearly always being available on a streaming platform, but there's a pretty good chance you've seen and remember this one and industrious denizens of the internet can surely find it by searching for "st. elmo's fire full movie free" and clicking on the video that has a runtime just a dozen minutes under two hours...
