“When we were making ‘Pretty in Pink,’” McCarthy says during the special, “John Hughes used to come to the set with a cassette recorder. And he’d have these little cassettes that he would just play. ‘Hey, guys, what do you think of this?’ And he did play. And he’d just play snippets of these songs. And we’d either give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. And a lot of those songs were and weren’t used in the soundtracks for his sampling he took of young people.”

MTV original VJs Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, and Alan Hunter will also share their Brat Pack memories and favourite songs throughout the weekend. See the full broadcast schedule below, and stream the special on the SiriusXM app after its premiere.
