Episode description
John Wilden Hughes Jr. was a quiet kid from a Midwestern town, who would become one of the most prolific filmmakers in American history.
He began his career at an ad agency before he got his first creative break as a writer for National Lampoon magazine.
Hughes would go on to create a string of films that defined American cinema including Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Home Alone, and many more.
He would retire from the public eye before his untimely death in 2009, but questions about his legacy still linger today.
