We're jumping back to 1985 to talk about John Hughes' The Breakfast Club, with Miles leading the discussion today. This coming-of-age high school story is packed with behind the scenes information, like Judd Nelson method acting as Bender, deleted scenes actors fought Hughes to get rid of, and what the dance sequence was originally supposed to look like. With its cult status, has Bender's character aged well? Could Andrew really hotbox an entire study room and then scream to break glass? Would you eat a pixie stick and Captain Crunch sandwich? All of these questions we aim to answer as we explore the takes it took to get this classic.
