With MOLLYWOOD, Scooty & JoJo set their sights on the first significant cinematic fables of Generation X: the John Hughes teenpics of the mid-80s. The ultimate John Hughes muse Molly Ringwald is having a bad day. Her family has forgotten her sixteenth birthday, she has no date for the prom, and she just got a whole day's detention. What's a girl to do? Sing!
MOLLYWOOD fused the characters, storylines, and soundtracks of "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club", and "Pretty in Pink" into a campy lampoon and love letter to the sacred cows of an entire generation.
“To see this group fully immersed in the lampoon lagoon of Molly Ringwald’s cinematic heyday is to see them at their best.
– Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune
