"The Goldbergs" Prepping 'Very Expensive' John Hughes Homage

"The Goldbergs" is cooking up some kind of wonderful John Hughes tribute.

Series creator Adam F. Goldberg tells TVLine that a Season 2 episode will feature an homage to one of the late filmmaker’s classic ’80s flicks.

“We are writing it now,” he confirms. “I’m not going to reveal which film it is yet. But it’s going to be very difficult to shoot and very expensive. So it’ll be a real nightmare, but hopefully, it’ll turn out great.”

The special outing will likely air midway through the season “when we’re starting to run out of steam,” Goldberg adds with a laugh. “We’ll hopefully gain some steam with our John Hughes episode.”

For her part, the show’s leading lady Wendi McLendon-Covey swears she hasn’t been told which Hughes pic will get the "Goldbergs" treatment. But if she had to guess… ?

“I love Sixteen Candles,” she shares. “But it seems like The Breakfast Club might be a better fit.”

"The Goldbergs" Scoop: John Hughes Tribute Will Be... Bueller? Yup!

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss a "Goldbergs" homage.

That's right. "The Goldbergs" will take on Ferris Bueller's Day Off for its anticipated John Hughes tribute episode, TVGuide.com has learned.

"Ferris Bueller exuded cool. He got the girl, he had the epic day off, he outsmarted his teachers, parents, siblings and classmates," creator Adam F. Goldberg said in a statement.

"And the way John Hughes captured that epic day of fun, it was the obvious choice to send the Goldbergs on a quest to recreate that awesome day off. My older brother Barry and I had little in common growing up, but we shared an equal obsession with Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Watching it over and over was how we bonded and we quoted lines from it as if it was our secret language. We saw ourselves in the iconic character of Ferris, the popular schemer who could do no wrong. However, we all knew the reality — neither of us was a Ferris. Sadly, we both more resembled Cameron Ferris' hapless sidekick."

Details on the episode are scarce — though we imagine Bev (Wendi McLendon-Covey) won't take too kindly to said day off and we hope this is involved — but the episode will air in the second half of the season.
