The Breakfast Club (1985)

Eat our shorts, listeners – this week, we’re headed to detention with The Breakfast Club!

One of John Hughes’ most well-known efforts, this adolescent dramedy follows five teen stereotypes (played by Brat Pack regulars Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall and Ally Sheedy) as they while away a Saturday afternoon in detention. While avoiding the bitter Vice Principal Vernon (John Gleeson), they cause trouble, learn more about each other, and mostly just smoke a lot of pot.

Love it or hate it, it’s a seminal film in 1980s pop culture, and we’ve got a cavalcade of guests (previous guests Julia, Grant of Chip & Ironicus and LP13A fame, and Our Fair City’s Kat, along with newbie Alaina) to join us in the discussion. We’ve also got our signature custom cocktail and drinking rules for it, so give us a listen and subscribe
