The Breakfast Club (EP25) with Cynthia Loyst
Listen now
Description
In our 25th episode, we mess with the bull and get the horns with the 1985 John Hughes teen comedy/drama THE BREAKFAST CLUB.   We’re joined by special guest Cynthia Loyst (The Social, Author of “Find Your Pleasure: The Art of Living a More Joyful Life”) and begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with how realistically it portrayed its teenage characters. We debate which of them each of us relate to the most, Cynthia goes into how much of the comedy still holds up, and Pops talks about why some of themes hit home so personally. We move onto the case for knocking it off the pedestal with the ridiculous choreographed dance scenes, we discuss why Bender’s behaviour would never be tolerated in a movie today, and we go deep on how much we all were disappointed by Allison’s makeover.
