121: Reel It Back – The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club

[powerpress]

We celebrate 35 years of The Breakfast Club, John Hughes’ seminal 80s comedy about a group of high school students from different cliques who find themselves in Saturday detention and throughout the day learn to see past the labels that society has imposed on them.  

Not only do Dave, Leo, and Jen break down their favorite moments, peaks, and valleys from the film, they hand out new “awards” on the show reserved just for Reel It Backs. Listen to see who wins the Detlef Schrempf “Best Supporting Player” award; the “That Guy is From” award, the “There’s No Crying in Baseball” award, and finally, the MVP – the Becky O’Shea “Icebox” award.
