124 To Sir, With Love (1967)

High School Slumber Party goes back to 1967 to talk about a classic film showcasing one of the most successful and revered actors of all-time: Sidney Poitier in To Sir, with Love. Joining Brian are good friends John Hardin and the Foodie Films Man himself, Kyle Reinfried, to break down the tale of Thackery: an engineer by trade who finds himself a teacher at a tough inner city London school. While the exact words of Thackery's lessons may not seem "woke" today, the meaning behind his lectures on self-respect, racism, and humanity ring incredibly true in 2020. What may be ringing in your ear, however, is the film's super-catchy theme song sung by co-star Lulu!
