Summary
In this episode of our 2026 series about iconic movies from the 1980s we are taking on, for a second month in a row, a movie directed by John Hughes. This time we are talking about his 1985 The Breakfast Club . Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many reasons why The Breakfast Club connect with the youth of the time, whether or not its messaging remains relevant or maybe functions as timeless and if its manufactured nature is an impediment to enjoying the movie or onboarding its message. We also talk about the vice-principal's moral high ground, the loneliness of adolescence, and the safety of bringing unrefrigerated sushi for lunch to school. Tune in and enjoy!
