🎙️ Throwback Thursday – The Breakfast Club (with Lizzie Newton)
📅 Originally aired: May 10, 2019
🎧 Re-released: April 11, 2025
Description:
It's Throwback Thursday time! This week, we're rewinding to a special in-person crossover episode recorded with my good friend Lizzie Newton, originally released in 2019. Lizzie and I teamed up for a nostalgic deep dive into one of the most iconic Gen X films of all time—The Breakfast Club.
But before we get to detention with the Brat Pack, I reveal the long-awaited results of our Phil Collins March Madness tournament! Sixteen songs entered... one classic emerged victorious. Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? 🥁
Then, we kick things off with concert stories—Rubix Kube for me, Cher for Lizzie—before diving into the movie that defined a generation. Believe it or not, this was Lizzie's first time watching The Breakfast Club, and her fresh take alongside my nostalgic memories made for an awesome conversation.
Whether you're a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, or a criminal—you're gonna love this one.
