𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: High schooler Ferris Bueller convinces his parents and school that he’s sick in bed - and then hits the streets of Chicago with his girlfriend and best friend for a day of fun. But the school’s suspicious principal is determined to catch him and put an end to his freedom. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year — Matthew Broderick is irresistibly charming as Bueller in one of the true standout teen movies of the ‘80s.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿: Michael D. Dwyer is Associate Professor of Media and Communication at Arcadia, where he teaches courses in media studies, cultural studies, and writing. Currently, he is at work on a book manuscript titled Tinsel and Rust: Hollywood Film and Postindustrial America, an examination of how Hollywood helped to define and circulate the idea of 'the Rust Belt,' and the ways that cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Detroit have attempted to use filmmaking as a way to transform their 'postindustrial' public images. His first book, Back to the Fifties, which explores the diverse and often competing uses of nostalgia for the 1950s in film and pop music from 1973-1988, was published in 2015 by Oxford University Press. His broader research interests include the relationship between popular narratives and cultural memory, the interaction between popular music and Hollywood film, fan cultures, and the politics of DIY arts and music, and his writing has appeared in outlets like CultureBot, Alphaville, Flow, Negative Dunkalectics and In Media Res.
