·102· The Breakfast Club

“This is what an entire diaspora of edgelords is to going to base their personality on.”
-Bill, The Brain

“When I smoke locker-weed, I just gotta dance, y’all.” 
-Helen, The Basketcase

“Did you ever have Saturday school? …If it’s expunged, you don’t have to tell us.”
-Valerie, The Criminal

We came together on a non-school-day to discuss one more (the last?) ’80s movie mentioned by Olive in Easy A. Its chick-flickness may be dubious, but we were still delighted to have our good friend Bill O’Donnell back on to talk about the John Hughes for-real classic The Breakfast Club.
We learned a lot about ourselves — and a whole lot about the effects of athletic tape on hairy buttcheeks.

Helen’s whiny and pee-filled dog Walter also makes a cameo toward the end.
