Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to spend a Saturday in detention watching John Hughes's 1985 classic, The Breakfast Club. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Right? This week, Josh, Garrett, and David revisit Shermer High School to see if this quintessential Brat Pack film still connects in 2025. We break down the iconic character archetypes we related to then and now, the surprisingly well-written scenes that pack an emotional punch , and the parts that are... well, more problematic than we remembered. From Bender's aggressive "flirting" to the vice principal's shocking $31,000 salary, we explore what has and hasn't aged well.Does this coming-of-age touchstone still earn its classic status, or have we grown up and apart from it? Let us know your take, and don't forget to subscribe and leave us a five-star review (or four, so we have something to work toward! ).
