Speaker 5: She's got a pool in one hand and a three

00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:54,400
foot salam on the other. The bartender says, I guess

27
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:56,760
you won't be needing a drink, and then she said,

the joke. I'll tell you after the show.

36
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:11,039
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, welcome back to part two of The

37
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,800
Breakfast Club Versus Saint Elmo's Fire, our last show for

38
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:18,800
season six. Super excited to talk about these. We just

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,759
finished part one where we talked about how the show's

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,919
kind of got their inception, some interesting details behind it,

41
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,680
and a breakfast club casting for the Breakfast Club, and

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,080
so we're back here to talk about now casting for

43
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,280
Saint Elmo's Fire. But before we get there, these two

44
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,479
movies were known as The Little Chills.

45
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:38,319
Speaker 6: I was blown away when I came across that little nugget.

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: So tell me the story.

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 6: Well, there's a producer named Ned Tannin and he had

48
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:44,719
worked on The Breakfast Club. And he was also a

49
00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:47,479
producer on Saint Alma's Fire, And there was a comparison

50
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:49,039
to The Big Chill, which had been made a few

51
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:53,280
years earlier. Yes, as a successful group of people who

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,439
were friends who kind of came together and made a story.

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

54
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:00,759
Speaker 5: So Ned Tannin was a major studio player, right he was.

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,159
He was president of Universal, became later president of Paramount,

56
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,159
did All Kind, he did Jaws, He did several of

57
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:11,599
the movies that we've covered, including Top Gun.

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: But Ned Tanner.

59
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,159
Speaker 6: Sounds awful lot like Biff Tannin to me.

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 5: So a young Bob Zamechis and Bob Gail were pitching

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,439
a movie called I Want to Hold Your Hand about

62
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:27,000
Beatles fandom, Yes to Ned Tannan, and he read the

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,199
script and got irate. Thought it was anti semitic. I

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,560
don't know what the movie's about, but basically yelled at

65
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,919
them and bullied them, which is why they decided to

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,199
name the bully in back the future Tannin. WHOA there

67
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:42,520
you go?

68
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:43,159
Speaker 2: How about that?

69
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:46,879
Speaker 5: And on that note, Saint Elmo's the Bar is on

70
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,159
the back lot at Universal. Yes, three buildings down from

71
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:52,879
the clock tower used in back It's astounding.

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 6: It's a downing yep, literally right off of the square

73
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,719
for Back to the Future. Yeah, although I did see

74
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,800
a locations video shoot where a guy was walking around

75
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:06,280
he really wanted to see the Sant Almos bar. It's

76
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,039
been burned down like twice. They yea burned down once

77
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,199
they rebuilt it like it was then burned down again.

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,759
They're like, yeah, whatever, but that was actually based off

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,800
of a real life bar.

80
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,759
Speaker 2: The tombs, the tombs at Georgetown right.

81
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 6: This whole movie Santama's Fire was set in Georgetown, but

82
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:26,120
Georgetown's an old Jesuit college. When they went to the

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,519
president of the university, he's like, no, how.

84
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,639
Speaker 5: About no, how about no, Yeah, let's see one redeeming quality.

85
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: Yeah nope, can't find we got drugs, we got sex,

86
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:40,519
we got yeah, no okay, And so on that note,

87
00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:41,240
you brought this up.

88
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: When we go through the casting for Saint Almos Fire,

89
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:46,639
You're going to bring up each of the characters and

90
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:48,360
I'm going to tell you why they're horrible, and you're

91
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:50,800
gonna give me a reason that they're good at the plan.

92
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:55,439
Speaker 6: So the idea is is that we loved these characters

93
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,879
who have major character flaws and I'm going to bring

94
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,519
their redeeming qualities to the front.

95
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,879
Speaker 2: Great, I'm anxious to find out what those might be.

96
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,160
You don't have any affection for these characters at all? Okay, no,

97
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:11,240
not really? All right, well let's get into it. Okay,

98
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,079
all right, all right?

99
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,759
Speaker 6: So the cast of Saint almost fire. So right off

100
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,439
the bat, we get three straight from Breakfast Club. Judd Nelson,

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,639
Ali Sheety and Emilia Estavez are recommended by John Hughes.

102
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

103
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:24,079
Speaker 5: They the office of John Hughes and the office of

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,639
Joel Schrmarker were in the same building.

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 6: I heard they were like right down the hall from

106
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,959
each other. Yeah, And so they were hired for their

107
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,279
work from the Breakfast Club. Jud Nelson was originally thought

108
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:38,120
to be better as maybe Billy kind of the wild rebel.

109
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,439
Speaker 2: Which is more in line with the character that he played.

110
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 6: In Vendor Characters, right, But he went the other way

111
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:45,240
and did the kind of the more conservative, you know, the.

112
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,759
Speaker 2: Guy becoming the Republican. That's right.

113
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,519
Speaker 4: I'm going to get you a red lacy baby don

114
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,199
like Alec, I'm very happy and you're old pajamas, and

115
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,360
I'm happy when you're out of my old pajamas, Alec,

116
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:59,399
it's becoming a recoveragerhever you want to get.

117
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:03,199
Speaker 2: Married, Oh my god, which I think is interesting. All right,

118
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:03,839
so did it work?

119
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 6: Let's get into Okay, let's get let's start off with

120
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:09,360
Emili Westavesk, who plays Kirby Kager. Yes, there are several

121
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:13,680
quintessential moments in a man's life, losing his virginity, getting married,

122
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,639
becoming a father, and having the right girl smile.

123
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: A stalker what the heck?

124
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,879
Speaker 5: Like he was he had he looked like he might

125
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,920
be the guy throughout, Like he's there trying to trying

126
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,839
to fix things, trying to help people out. He's going

127
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,319
to law school, it's got a promising future, and just happens.

128
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: To you're making my case for me, but keep going.

129
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 5: No, no, yeah, he's doing okay, and but he but

130
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:40,759
the drop is so far and so sudden, You're just like.

131
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,959
Speaker 2: What the heck? Just he he throws up.

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,439
Speaker 5: He gets a job, quits law school, gets a job

133
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:51,360
with a high falutin Korean mobster or something like that,

134
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:53,879
mister Kim so that with no further mister Kim, so

135
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,160
that he can have a house to throw a party

136
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,439
that he's not allowed to have in so that he

137
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,240
can get the doctor to come to the party. When

138
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,639
she doesn't come to the party, he's staring at her

139
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,680
like a horror movie.

140
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: Kurtie, how are you?

141
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed? Thank you very much.

142
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,959
Speaker 5: Like this has had to be Mark Wahlberg's inspiration for

143
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,319
primal fear or whatever.

144
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just and he keeps ongoing like it

145
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,680
just he sniffs her.

146
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 6: Pillow, He sniffs her pillow, he finds her while she's

147
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,160
skiing at a resort.

148
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,879
Speaker 2: Yes, and maybe she's the redeeming character. Right, so you

149
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:34,480
want to move on to.

150
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,959
Speaker 6: Her, No, I want to tell you why Kirbie Kager

151
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:37,800
is a decent guy.

152
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:39,079
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, yes, go ahead.

153
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 6: Now keep in mind, all these people are twenty two. Okay,

154
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:43,920
so they're fresh out of college.

155
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: They're twenty two.

156
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 6: Their frontal lobe still hasn't fully developed yet. All right,

157
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:52,480
So his stalker behavior, I'm going to give him enthusiasm.

158
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: Enthusiasm, all right. He's not a quitter.

159
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:06,279
Speaker 6: He is excited about seeing something that he wants. He's

160
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,639
pursuing it with all his heart. And the dude takes

161
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:11,360
a swing. Okay, now here we go. I think we

162
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:17,800
can both agree that he overstepped his boundaries that multiple times.

163
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,519
And the lovely Andy McDowell Dale Bieberman doesn't lose her

164
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,920
mind and call the police.

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,199
Speaker 2: No, she entices him to do it more.

166
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,199
Speaker 6: But you have that iconic moment where he freaking swings

167
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:32,279
her down, lays the biggest kiss on her.

168
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: Don't do this at home kiss. Okay, hey, dude took

169
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,799
his shot.

170
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,039
Speaker 5: That scene happened so many times in so many different

171
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,919
movies where a guy took a kiss that was not

172
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:48,639
welcomed by the girl and then the girl suddenly swoons.

173
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: She swoons, and I thought, oh, well, that's the way

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,360
it's done. Thank goodness, I never say that she's Louise.

175
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:57,879
That's that I never ever worked.

176
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,399
Speaker 6: Well, okay, since everybod I got so uptight, But I

177
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,279
will say on his way driving home from the ski resort,

178
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,399
after he got his car stuck and.

179
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:12,039
Speaker 2: Had to like, where are the other dude's pajamas? And

180
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,720
he gives the skiing doctor blonde stud he gets his

181
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:16,200
car out.

182
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, he gives the biggest billy the kid laugh as

183
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,840
he's peeling out after he laid a big kiss on her.

184
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: I'm giving it up to him.

185
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,639
Speaker 6: Man, he took a shot he did. Okay, all right,

186
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,919
who's next, Rob Loow Billy the Kid.

187
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not gonna believe hot hand is gonna be.

188
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,519
Speaker 5: The most you know, the line that you hear where

189
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,279
you think that, oh, maybe he is actually like trying

190
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,440
to think about this and do the right thing, is

191
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,159
talking about being one of those weekend dads. But that

192
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:48,679
would be right for her, and that.

193
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,159
Speaker 2: Would be that's his biggest justify.

194
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:55,519
Speaker 5: Abandoning his child. Is that what he just did in

195
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,399
a sweet and romantic.

196
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: Way, Yes he did. Yes, he did all of the

197
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:04,759
roman romanta's the romanticization whatever that word is. Yes, the

198
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:14,080
romantization of this horrific behavior. It is just throughout the movie.

199
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,879
It's terrible. And you know who had a fully developed

200
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:20,919
frontal lobe, Joel Schumacher. He was directing it and he

201
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,639
wrote it, and then you should know better.

202
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 6: Okay, all right. So Roblow's character, William Hicks, they call

203
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:31,799
him Billy Billy the Kid. So he tries to sleep

204
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:34,799
with mer Wayne Ham's character Wendy. He's kind of got

205
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,399
something going with her. He's also married.

206
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: With a child and a mistress.

207
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 6: He also tries to get it on with Jewels in

208
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,480
his driveway.

209
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,759
Speaker 5: Tries to get it on like that again the most

210
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:49,759
inappropriate behavior. Takes the keys, puts them in his pants.

211
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,519
Speaker 2: Come and get them.

212
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 5: What But she's just trying to It's like she's at

213
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,240
a moment of vulnerability where she just needs somebody and

214
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:01,360
he's being the biggest cock in the world.

215
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,639
Speaker 6: But to me, his biggest sin is like, you know,

216
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:07,480
I thought about being a weekend dad, but nope, they

217
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,039
don't need that. No, they need a full time dad.

218
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,759
But you know, do whatever you're gonna do.

219
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

220
00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 6: However, he's the emotional heart of this movie. He's the

221
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:20,360
one who rescues Jewels as she's dealing with her suicidal thoughts.

222
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: He gives the whole sign.

223
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:24,519
Speaker 5: Did you see that lighter he had when he lit

224
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:26,600
both his cigarettes? That's saint almost fire right there?

225
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:35,279
Speaker 6: Holy yes, honey, this isn't real. You know what it is.

226
00:11:36,159 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: It's saying almost fire, electric flashes of light that appear

227
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:41,120
in dark skies, out of nowhere.

228
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 6: I will also say he also makes another kind of

229
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,200
egregious sin in that speech because he hugs her as

230
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,480
he's like hugging her back to life. He says, come on, Jewels,

231
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,559
you're making all this stuff up. Okay, Well, she's got

232
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,240
a drug habit, she's lost her job, her stepmamas. She's

233
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,200
not making up these problems. That's real life. Yeah, that's

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,240
actually happening.

235
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: He comes to a rescue and he's always there. No, no,

236
00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:12,039
not buying it. Okay.

237
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 6: Andrew McCarthy's character, Kevin don't seem to like anything I

238
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,879
do it being afraid of Russia.

239
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: It's a harmless fear, but it makes America feel better Russia.

240
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 6: It's an afloided sense of national worth from more paranoia, because.

241
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: That flicks his ashes into the food that he's making

242
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:34,039
for his friends, Yes, for his friends. And by the way,

243
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,600
at the very first crack in the door, at the

244
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,159
very moment of the crack in the door, he is like, boom,

245
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,159
time to bang my best friend's girl.

246
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 6: Not only that he doesn't see it for what it

247
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,759
is and continues to press.

248
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I was kind of like, well, I

249
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,840
hope that she does end up with him and that

250
00:12:53,919 --> 00:12:54,960
this is a happy thing.

251
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 5: I was surprised that they started. She banging on the

252
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,000
coffin right away, and then the shower, and then the bed,

253
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,960
and then in the kitchen, and I mean that guy

254
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,600
had to bite him and eat with him or something.

255
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,879
Speaker 2: I don't know, but but I was like, that's a

256
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:09,600
little fast.

257
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 5: But then I was hopeful that she would see that

258
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:15,840
he was this guy who had held it a secret.

259
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,639
Speaker 2: I guess.

260
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess he had it pent up for

261
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,960
a while. Maybe that's why it exploded out like it did.

262
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,320
But geez, Louise, he.

263
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 6: Was there for her when she needed somebody.

264
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:27,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

265
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was there for her on the floor and

266
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,000
in the shower and on the fridge and all that stuff.

267
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually he's the character I like the least in

268
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:37,600
this whole story. Oh really, wow, Although I do.

269
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 6: I like the part where Demi Morris trying to talk

270
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,799
to him, saying, hey, listen, you're gay. You're gay, and

271
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,519
he's like, I'm not gay, And I'm not saying I.

272
00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:50,279
Speaker 2: Will say this.

273
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: I'm trying to find positive things to say about this movie.

274
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,559
That little moment where she's talking to him, I thought, Oh,

275
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,440
she's gonna she's gonna hook up with him. It was

276
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,759
all a very well plotted out sequence of lines so

277
00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:06,879
that you believed that she was trying to seduce him,

278
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,720
and then you find out she just wants to hook

279
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:10,240
him up with her gay next door name.

280
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 6: Bait and switch right there. In fact, she even goes

281
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:16,879
as far as putting her hand on his thigh.

282
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, because she thinks it's safe. But we're all looking thinking, oh,

283
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,720
she's making a move.

284
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, so let's talk about jewels. To me More's character, jewels,

285
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:32,639
you break my heart, then again you break everyone's heart.

286
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:37,399
Speaker 2: I mean, where do I begin? What is wrong with her?

287
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,240
I don't understand.

288
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,879
Speaker 5: Okay, she is it looks like sleeping with her boss

289
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,960
to get her Yes, lots of lies, and then we

290
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:51,360
find out that that's all been made up and she's

291
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,600
not actually doing that. She obviously has a significant problem

292
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:58,440
with drugs and alcohol. Probably throw onto that pile. She's

293
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:02,639
eating food deserved for the homeless and complaining about it

294
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:06,320
and then talking about being a bag lady in front

295
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,039
of a bag lady who by the way, that was

296
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,919
my favorite part in the whole movie Myra. I think

297
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,639
her name is Moira whatever it might have been. That

298
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,919
lady whoever, that bag lady actress was the bag lady

299
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,720
thumbs up.

300
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:23,519
Speaker 2: She's just staring at her as she's spewing all this vile.

301
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 5: I thought it was perfect. She was the everyman for me.

302
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:28,720
She was me in that movie, just like these are some.

303
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:30,639
Speaker 2: People.

304
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 6: Okay, let me just say Demi Moore is plain matchmaker.

305
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,840
She's trying to help Kevin accept who he is, even

306
00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:44,320
though it's misunderstood. Right, She's trying to be a friend

307
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,919
of these people.

308
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: By the way, her next door neighbor is the worst

309
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:53,000
interior decorator ever. That was the grossest room I've ever seen,

310
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,879
the giant Billy Idol thing. But Billy Idol was fine.

311
00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:57,320
But everything in the room was pink.

312
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,559
Speaker 6: Dude, The Billy Idle thing was awesome.

313
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,799
Speaker 2: It was pretty cool, like bearing that. I won't lie

314
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:05,159
that was.

315
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 6: Go back to our Rebel Yell episode. By the way,

316
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,960
just on a side note while we're here, Demi Moore,

317
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,840
like Joel Schumacher had to fight for her.

318
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 5: You know how he found her. She was walking out

319
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:21,279
of John Hughes's office for an audition for Really Yeah

320
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,879
and walking down the hall and Joel Schumacher sees her

321
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,519
walking down the hall and whoever his assistant is, He's like,

322
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,320
chase her down, find out if she's an actress. That's

323
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:31,039
how that's how he picked her to Pop.

324
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:31,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

325
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 6: You know, she was in a movie called Blame It

326
00:16:34,039 --> 00:16:34,480
on Rio.

327
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:37,559
Speaker 2: This movie comes up from time to time and we've

328
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:38,480
got to talk about this movie.

329
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:41,799
Speaker 5: So I mean, at some point, like I was I

330
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,279
that was one of those movies when you were a

331
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,840
kid that were like it was on HBO later cine Max,

332
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:49,240
and you're like, hey, yeah, And then now I'm looking

333
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:51,559
at it and I find out that.

334
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,759
Speaker 2: Girl was seventeen seventeen seventeen, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.

335
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 6: I meant to say so when Joel Schumacher hired her,

336
00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:04,319
she had a significant drug problem, right, she had cocaine issues.

337
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,279
He actually kicked her off set one time she was

338
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,119
super high and he's like, get out of here. And

339
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,400
he's a former junkie, like a junkie, and so he

340
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,759
actually said, look, you need to get sober. And they

341
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,920
actually hired a companion to go everywhere with her to

342
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,839
keep her sober. So fifteen days before shooting started was

343
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:21,720
when she got sober.

344
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 5: You had a theory about the gravelly sound of her voice,

345
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000
which it's not as gravelly in the last thirty years

346
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,160
as it was forty years ago.

347
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 6: So right before we were getting ready to record, I

348
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,640
was like, you know, her voice used to be really

349
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,160
gravelly really raspy.

350
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think about one crazy summer. What was

351
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:41,920
the yeah, one crazy say, one crazy summer, very raspy

352
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,319
voice in.

353
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 6: This Yes, And I thought, I wonder if cocaine use

354
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:47,799
affects your voice. Turns out it does.

355
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: It does.

356
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, it affects your vocal cords anyway, That's why she

357
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,079
sounds significantly less raspy.

358
00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: Possibility.

359
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,759
Speaker 6: She was on the Bratz documentary and I thought her

360
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,839
and Rob Low had the best attitude about the whole thing.

361
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 5: Did you know that Amelia Stevez and she started dating

362
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,880
after this movie?

363
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: I did. He said he was deeply in love with her.

364
00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:06,680
I did.

365
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,559
Speaker 5: And side note to that, Molly Ringwold and Anthony Michael

366
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:12,519
Hall started dating after Breakfast Club.

367
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: I knew that as well.

368
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 5: She apparently hated him during sixteen Candles despised him, but

369
00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:20,759
something happened at Breakfast Club and they started dating.

370
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:21,839
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what happened.

371
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 6: There were only people around. When you look around, the

372
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:25,960
only people my age, you know, the guy and the

373
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,359
girl and makes sense.

374
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

375
00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:29,799
Speaker 6: By the way, Amelio Estevez and Demi Moore did a

376
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:32,359
movie after this called Wisdom, which I've also been on

377
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,720
a film by to talk About with Jeff, directed by

378
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:38,559
Amelio Estevez, written by Amelio Estevez, and I thought it

379
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:41,480
was one of the coolest movies i'd grown up.

380
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: Turns out a little.

381
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:48,319
Speaker 6: Rough around the edges and parts, but Demmy was awesome in.

382
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:48,799
Speaker 2: It, okay.

383
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 6: So, and that's when they were together, engaged. Interesting interesting Okay.

384
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,680
By the way, Also, Rob Loow and Demi had an

385
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,519
affair on sat Alma's Fire Shocker. The two people on

386
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:02,880
the best looking people on the set, and then they

387
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,519
go on to do about Last Night right, which is

388
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:08,839
kind of a graduation out of the brat pack into

389
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,200
more adult themes. And I would say that they probably

390
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,440
are the most established post brat pack careers probably so.

391
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 5: Although Rob Low did have a significant lull, I think

392
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,960
it was Wayne's World that brought him back into the

393
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,599
end of the world again.

394
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 6: He did, and he I mean, part of the lull

395
00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:32,319
was self inflicted. That oh yeah, videotape scan sixteen year

396
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,319
old or whatever it was.

397
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep. But he got sober as well. So there

398
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,559
you go. So you might you we've talked about Jewel.

399
00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 5: We just got done with our three way comparison of

400
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,039
Jewel once more set and no doubt. Yes, And there's

401
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:48,359
a roast that Jewel does about the sixteen year old.

402
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,759
But you had something that you were going to tell

403
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:53,680
us about Rob Low and Jewel and the movie thing.

404
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

405
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 6: So I listened to Rob Low's audio book a couple

406
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,839
of years ago, and I don't remember a lot of

407
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,680
the details about it. But he noticed Jewel. She was

408
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,240
an upcoming star. And of course he's friends with Champagne.

409
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:07,720
You know, they went to high school together. It's crazy,

410
00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:11,319
but so he brings Jewel in to do it's some

411
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,839
TV show that didn't last very long. Anyway, she brought

412
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,400
him into be his love interest, and she was not cooperative,

413
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,599
no chemistry, was difficult to work with, and he found

414
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,480
her irritating. And anyway, they had a real rocky relationship

415
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,240
because she wouldn't she wouldn't embrace the idea of him

416
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:34,000
being sexy, you know, and all that stuff. Anyway, but

417
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,279
she got him. She roasted him at the Rabblo roast,

418
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:38,920
which it was.

419
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,079
Speaker 5: Hilariousah, it's fun And the punchline at the end of

420
00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:43,759
the song that she sings for him is that she

421
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,680
was the sixteen year old girl in the video.

422
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:48,519
Speaker 2: She's funny.

423
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,279
Speaker 6: Okay, And then you have Judd Nelson who plays Alec Newberry.

424
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,079
Speaker 2: He's their hero.

425
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 6: The wet look is them, that's mister.

426
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 5: He seemed like a hero up until so I was

427
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,319
buying this suit and then ended up doing it with

428
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,599
the sales lady in front of the three way mirror.

429
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 6: The leggy blonde who wanted to model the lingerie for him.

430
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So he's a cheater, but a serial cheater.

431
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,279
Speaker 6: He nameless, faithless people.

432
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: Yes, right, yes, and that will all just end when

433
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,079
he gets married. Yes, okay, he is the hero.

434
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,799
Speaker 6: He's always like he goes and rescues jewel jewels.

435
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 5: He rescues it, well, sort of like it's a team

436
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,759
effort to rescue jewels.

437
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 6: Really, everybody's rescuing. He does try to kill Kevin while

438
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,880
he pulls him back, and I'll be just yes, attempted

439
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,680
murder and his quote unquote best friend who banged his fiance.

440
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: Yes.

441
00:21:54,759 --> 00:21:58,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, then, and he's constantly getting jobs for his deadbeat friends.

442
00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: That's right, Billy the Kid.

443
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,599
Speaker 6: He is the one always coming through for Billy.

444
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,079
Speaker 5: The Kid and then giving him a swirly whenever he.

445
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:09,559
Speaker 6: Loses the jip into my office here by the way.

446
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:14,160
That's swirly maybe the only swearly I remember on any

447
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,519
eighties movie. Yeah, do you know how many swirly as

448
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:19,640
I gave a summer camp a ton because.

449
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 2: Of this movie. That's I'm so thankful to summer camp together.

450
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 6: Okay, let's talk about Wendy Mayor winning him.

451
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 4: My thighs are fat, No diet works.

452
00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:35,319
Speaker 6: Oh I lose weight in your thighs. Okay, tell me

453
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,440
what's terrible about her?

454
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: Uh? I don't.

455
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:41,599
Speaker 5: I don't have something terrible in her, honestly, I mean

456
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,400
she okes, I mean I do. She keeps going back

457
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,279
to Billy the Kid. She has a subsess character. That's

458
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:52,559
her character flaw right, and she recognizes it as a

459
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:54,680
flaw unlike everybody else who's just like, oh, this is

460
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,519
perfectly acceptable behavior.

461
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: And so it's too bad. But other than that, it's okay.

462
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 6: She uses her scuba suit to keep Billy the Kid

463
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:05,440
at Bay Scoop.

464
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:09,039
Speaker 2: It's by the way in that scene.

465
00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:11,279
Speaker 6: So if you remember in the movie Billy the Kid,

466
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,920
so he finds out she's a virgin and then finds

467
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,400
it fascinating and proceeds to try to steal it. Atever

468
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:23,960
you turn, so you're steal a virgin right right up yours, buddy. Yeah,

469
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,920
So they have a little makeout session on the couch

470
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,559
and he has no smoothness to him. He goes right

471
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,039
for it and realizes she's wearing a girl whatever something.

472
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,799
It makes fun of her and kills the moment. Yeah,

473
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,720
he's an ass, he kind of is. Actually, she is

474
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:44,079
the sweetheart of the movie.

475
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: She is.

476
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 6: She tries to please her parents and she goes out

477
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,079
with Howie and it doesn't really work out, and she.

478
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 2: Takes the car, but she gives the car back.

479
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,039
Speaker 6: Right, and she makes her own peanut butter and jelly

480
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:57,400
sandwich and it's the greatest she's ever had. Okay, But

481
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,359
she's a social worker. She cares about people.

482
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, she actually is the decent person in all of

483
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,400
these horrible people.

484
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 2: By the way.

485
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 6: So, and I do feel bad for her, that billy,

486
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,039
the kids trying to steal her virginity at every turn. Yeah,

487
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:11,519
Mayor Winningham in real life. You know, she played the

488
00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:14,440
virgin right at the time at the filming of Saint

489
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,079
Alma's Fire, she was pregnant and had already had two children.

490
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,039
Speaker 2: This is the reason for the larger thighs.

491
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,799
Speaker 6: You remember her she was in Turner and Hooch.

492
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:25,799
Speaker 2: I never saw Turner. I kind of feel bad for.

493
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 6: Her, Like she's not even mentioned brat pack adjacent, Like

494
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:30,920

00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:03,559
that this is not going to happen. She takes him home,

507

00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,160
invited to, completely soaking wet, and she brings him home.

509
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 6: She gives him pajamas and a fireplace and a place

510
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,920

00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:35,519

534
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 6: Not cool at all. She's got no, she's got a

535
00:26:39,079 --> 00:26:40,000
poker face in this.

536
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: She would just worked.

537
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,480

00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,559
of course Kevin's the one who's going to take the

539
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:50,200
beating for this.

540
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:53,160

541
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,640

00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 6: I don't know, she's always looking at for jewels. She is,

546
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:11,240
you know, she's always looking at for jewels. But that's

547
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:15,359
all I got. Yeah, she's not very likable character. In fact,

548
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,759
she knows Alex is cheating this whole time. Well she suspects.

549
00:27:19,759 --> 00:27:23,200

Jodie Foster, Jennifer Beals, Tatum O'Neill, and Joan Cusack were

590
00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:15,279
interested in the role of Jules.

591
00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

592
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 6: See Thomas Howell audition for the role of Kirby.

00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:41,720
pack going on right here.

602

Speaker 5: Okay, I really only have one. I may throw some

603
00:29:54,039 --> 00:29:55,680
other things in here, but I really only have one.

604
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: But I think it's gonna be a good one. Okay, Okay,

605
00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:59,000
So do you know who Vince Evans is? His name

606
00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:00,559
rings a bell, but I can't place.

607
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 5: Quarterback for the Chicago Bears in the early eighties. Okay,

608
00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:07,640
became a quarterback for the Chicago Blitz.

609
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: You know that, Yeah, I do.

610
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: So.

611
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 5: The Chicago Blitz was the USFL USFL team team. They

612
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,319
were practicing in the same school that The Breakfast Club

613
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,519
was filmed in, and so Anthony Michael Hall walking to

614
00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:24,799
set would pass Vince Evans and his lineman walking out

615
00:30:24,799 --> 00:30:25,319
to practice.

616
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,039
Speaker 2: That is cool.

617
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,319
Speaker 6: I remember the USFL because Oklahoma had a franchise and told.

618
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,119
Speaker 2: Him, yeah, okay, was it the Outlaws? It was the Outlaws?

619
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, So here are my tidbits on Sane

620
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,720
aulmost Fire, and then I got tidbits for Breakfast Club.

621
00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. We talked about.

622
00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 6: This last episode briefly, but as of June twenty twenty five,

623
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:47,960
Rob Low confirmed, Demi Moore confirmed they are currently working

624
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:50,160
on a Saint Almos Fire sequel.

625
00:30:50,839 --> 00:30:53,279
Speaker 2: Right, Joel Schumacher is no longer with us, so I

626
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,640
wonder who's doing the writing on this. I don't know.

627
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,240
It's a good question. Yeah, okay.

628
00:30:57,279 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 6: The booga booga boogah chant that they do, yes, that

629
00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:05,880
actually looks very organic, looks spontaneous. That was an actual

630
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:09,319
fun chant that they had amongst themselves. The actors had

631
00:31:09,319 --> 00:31:13,119
it because it was a response to how people would

632
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:14,839
talk about them and kind of talk about them behind

633
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,119
their back, and so something between the actors on that.

634
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:18,839
Speaker 2: Okay.

635
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 6: The other tibit that I have. The studio hated the

636
00:31:21,759 --> 00:31:25,400
title Saint Elmo's Fire. Okay, Okay, because if you think

637
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,319
about it, you know you're pitching a movie, We're gonna

638
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:29,319
call this Saint Almost Fire. You're like, well, what is it? Well,

639
00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:34,319
it's this thing. Ships are guided by it. But the

640
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,920
joke's on them because what what are we talking about here?

641
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,920
This is even when you watch the movie, you're like,

642
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,400
what the meaningless titles?

643
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: Right?

644
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,039
Speaker 6: I do think it has that kind of quality of

645
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,319
sounding cool without ever understanding what it is. Agreed, Okay,

646
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,519
But they wanted to call this either Sparks.

647
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, or the Real World Yeah. Well, MTV had some

648
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:01,200
success with that title later they did.

649
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,359
Speaker 6: They did, and actually it's a TV show about young

650
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:06,079
people who are trying to make it in life or

651
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:07,519
figure out who they are and what they're doing.

652
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: Are all a bunch of assholes? True?

653
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 6: That is true. Once again, I just want to double

654
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,960
down on what I said in the previous episode. You

655
00:32:18,039 --> 00:32:23,400
have five or six beautiful people, charismatic actors people at

656
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,079
the time, a creative director, and a couple of songs,

657
00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:31,799
including the Santama's fire theme the love theme, which was

658
00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:33,960
played at every prom for the next ten years.

659
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 5: Oh sure, Yeah, I bets plenty of graduations as well.

660
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:38,960
Of course, that was written by David Foster, who we've

661
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,759
talked about multiple times now. Really talked about him a

662
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:47,240
bunch when we did our Chicago seventeen episode.

663
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: Right, so that's earlier this year.

664
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 5: Go check out Chicago seventeen versus Vital Signs by Survivor.

665
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,680
A great matchup, great album. But he's hilarious every time

666
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,160
I see him interviewed. He's got all sixteen of his Grammy. Yeah,

667
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,960
you can see these sixteen Grammys. What has two thumbs and

668
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,200
sixteen grands right here?

669
00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: That'd be me.

670
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I didn't realize. So I went to visit

671
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:13,960
my brother and he was he watches this.

672
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

673
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 5: It's it's this tech investment podcast thing that's very popular

674
00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:23,920
right now. And there were there are these two girls

675
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,680
that have this company. One of them got interviewed. But

676
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,599
it's like Daddy's favorite or something like that or favorite daughter.

677
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,799
I can't remember one of those two, but it's his kids,

678
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:36,640
Like I looked him up and it's David Foster's daughters

679
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:38,359
that run this company.

680
00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: And they're both you know, socialites.

681
00:33:40,039 --> 00:33:42,119
Speaker 5: Of course, they've you know, had a good, you know,

682
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,920
a wealthy upbringing up in right in the in that world.

683
00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: Sure, but it's really it was kind of cool to see.

684
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 5: I mean they're our age, you know, roughly maybe a

685
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,519
few years younger than us, but pretty girls. But they

686
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,960
the big hit that they got was like some very

687
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,079
popular TV show.

688
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: All they've they did all the clothes for that.

689
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 5: Okay, but they're they're making tons of money with their

690
00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:06,960
new well anyway, sorry, it's.

691
00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: Good for them. Side track.

692
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,599
Speaker 6: That's cool just to kind of go with that. MTV

693
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,639
plus these actors excellent marketing tactic. And then it was

694
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,360
ran on HBO NonStop, just countless time. I don't know

695
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,880
how many times I saw it in HBO. Right, But

696
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:26,880
this movie I think can credit a lot of its

697
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,400
success to when I watched The Man in Motion video

Speaker 2: Back to Breakfast Club. Yep.

727
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:54,079
Speaker 6: John Hughes talks about his biggest regret from Breakfast Club

728
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:59,360
with the stupid Emiliusts scream shatter glass.

729
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: Right, the one dumb part of the movie.

730
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, by the way, I didn't know this, but you

731
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,599
know the marijuana smoking scene. Yeah, they're all smoking oregano right, Okay.

732
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 2: It's a dimebag of a regino day.

733
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,599
Speaker 6: But when Anthony Michael Hall's character says, you know what.

734
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 2: It is, chick's gonna hold their smoke.

735
00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:26,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's from a Richard Pryor comedy thing that I'm

736
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:27,280
not familiar with.

737
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I didn't know that.

738
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 6: So apparently he's quoting Richard Pryor when he says.

739
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:33,519
Speaker 5: That they ad libbed a bunch of the stuff that

740
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:37,159
they did whenever they were high, and Anthony Michael Hall

741
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,119
admitted that he was familiar with what it was like

742
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:40,639
to be high, despite the fact that he was only

743
00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:41,320
sixteen years.

744
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 2: Old the time. But yes, the so I can vote

745
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,440
that that was a live yeah, Neo Maxi Zoom Dweebee.

746
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,559
Speaker 5: And most of the stuff when they're kinda going through there,

747
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:56,840
why they're there for detention, most of it's ad lived.

748
00:36:57,159 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, the idea of you know, Claire eating sushi

749
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,840
for lunch. That was from Ali Sheety. Actually yeah, and

750
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,639
the fist pump at the end of the movie that

751
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:08,719
was an ad lib moment.

752
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty cool. Okay.

753
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 6: I found this interesting just to kind of put it

754
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,360
in the timeline of what was going on at the time.

755
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:17,440
When they go get drinks for the gother cafeteria or whatever,

756
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,559
they come back with cokes, which on the coke it

757
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:23,400
says nineteen eighty four Summer Olympics.

758
00:37:23,679 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: Oh, nice little time capsule idea there. It's kind of fun. Okay.

759
00:37:27,639 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 6: Do you remember the last time we talked about the

760
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:32,320
nineteen eighty four Summer Olympics. I think it was in

761
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,880
the Terminator because they were having to film around.

762
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. And Fletch.

763
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 6: I think both of those movies had to film around

764
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,199
the eighty four Olympics.

765
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.

766
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,079
Speaker 6: The Breakfast Club movie was originally titled The Lunch Bunch.

767
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,599
Not a great title in my opinion.

768
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,679
Speaker 2: No, not at all.

769
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 5: And honestly, again, if we're talking about titles that don't

770
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,000
really make any sense, the Breakfast Club doesn't make any sense.

771
00:37:57,039 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

772
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 6: Do you know whether this comes from No tell me, Oh,

773
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,880
I'm so glad. Okay. So the Breakfast Club comes from

774
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:06,920
local Chicago teenage slang who when they had to come

775
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,039
they had to come to early morning detention, and so

776
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:11,119
as a way to kind of spin it positively, the

777
00:38:11,159 --> 00:38:15,719
students called it the Breakfast Club. There you go, all right, okank.

778
00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:19,679
I found this interesting couple of things. At the very

779
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,159
beginning of the movie, it says March twenty fourth, nineteen

780
00:38:23,199 --> 00:38:25,239
eighty four, that's when the story takes place.

781
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 2: One day.

782
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 6: Filming for The Breakfast Club started on March twenty eighth,

783
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,920
nineteen eighty four, and I'm thinking to myself, it's four

784
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,840
days difference. Why didn't you just make it the same?

785
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,480
You know, Well, that's because March twenty eighth is a Wednesday.

786
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:39,119
March twenty fourth is a Saturday.

787
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,079
Speaker 2: How about that? Being very careful with the cat life, right,

788
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:43,079
That's good? Okay.

789
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 6: This movie finished third at the box office when it

790
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,280
was released, behind Beverly Hills Cop and Witness.

791
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,199
Speaker 2: Interesting. Okay, a couple two more things.

792
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,199
Speaker 6: Stanley Kubrick was a huge fan of this movie The

793
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,719
Breakfast Club and wanted Anthony Michael Hall to play Private

794
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,480
Joker in Full Metal Jacket yep.

795
00:39:04,159 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 5: So while they were filming Weird Science, Kelly LeBrock is like,

796
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,880
have you met Jack Nicholson And I was like, no,

797
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:13,960
I know him.

798
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to his house. Wow.

799
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:18,519
Speaker 5: And so they go over and Jack is like shooting

800
00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:22,239
free throws in the driveway and they come in and

801
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,119
he's like, I'm gonna go take a shower, you guys,

802
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,159
you know, go ahead.

803
00:39:26,119 --> 00:39:29,639
Speaker 2: Lingerie, Yeah, I'm gonna take a shower. You guys, go

804
00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:30,719
ahead and go in the house.

805
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 5: And so they like go to the front door and

806
00:39:33,599 --> 00:39:36,880
Angelica Houston answers the door and it's like, what is

807
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,719
Kelly LeBrock and this teenager doing here? But he talks

808
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,360
to Anthony and Michael Hall about Stanley Kubrick because obviously.

809
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 2: Shining shining right wow? So yeah, so nice. Didn't that

810
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:49,239
work out?

811
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,159
Speaker 5: I think it was just a contractual deal, Like I

812
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,559
guess they couldn't agree on a price or the agents

813
00:39:55,639 --> 00:39:59,880
or whatever. But yeah, Anthony Michael Hall later saw Matthew

814
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,239
and was like, how was it, Like, how was it?

815
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:03,679
How long did it shoot? And he was like fifty

816
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,440
four weeks, so almost a full year of shooting. When

817
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,800
you compare that to this where they I mean, they

818
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,199
spent two weeks rehearsing, they shot it in sequence, both

819
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,920
of which are very rare even at the time to do.

820
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,400
But still it was only a few weeks of time

821
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,639
of their lives, right, sure, not over a year.

822
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 2: That's madness. Yeah, yeah, genius madness.

823
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,119
Speaker 6: But wow, that's why Anthony Michael Hall started out here

824
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:32,719
and then went well, yeah, so I just want to

825
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,639
bring up the movie poster for the Breakfast Club.

826
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's any iconic. Any Liebowitz shot it? Oh really? Yeah?

827
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 5: Okay, and yes, absolutely iconic, one of the most iconic

828
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,960
posters of all times. Yeah, and they shot a few

829
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,440
different poses, you know, like standing in the line or whatever.

830
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,559
But anyway, what I was going to say is people

831
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:53,360
don't notice. I think a lot of the time that

832
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,679
the Texas Chainsaw Massacre two poster is the identical post.

833
00:40:57,679 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 2: I love it. It is. I love it.

834
00:40:59,079 --> 00:41:01,159
Speaker 5: Okay, And before we get to final judgment, I just

835
00:41:01,199 --> 00:41:02,920
have to say this. I just have to shout out

836
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,159
to all of the people who were involved in this process.

837
00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:09,199
But I was a theater major as an undergraduate, you know. Yeah,

838
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,440
and the summer after I graduated from college, before I

839
00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:17,360
went to law school, we put together together a theater company.

840
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:19,840
All of our my friends and I put together the

841
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,559
theater company called ourselves the Chocolate Factory because we're all

842
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:28,159
Willywalk fans. And we did thirteen shows in one summer,

843
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,239
which is thirteen shows isn't reasonable for like two or

844
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,360
three years for a regular company. And we're throwing together

845
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,440
thirteen shows in one summer, and we were doing this

846
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:39,639
kind of it wasn't great.

847
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 6: It's hard for us to do for thirteen episodes in

848
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:42,519
the summer.

849
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 5: Right, And so we were we were finding these strange

850
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,280
places to go. You remember ben Venuti's used to be

851
00:41:49,079 --> 00:41:52,280
the Innerurban. Yeah, when it was under construction, like it

852
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,800
was there were we went in that building and performed

853
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,079
to play inside the building. We had a friend who

854
00:41:57,199 --> 00:42:00,519
had the apartments that used to be just outside of

855
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:04,239
o You we did one in the parking lot. Like

856
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,079
his apartment was basically backstage and the rest of the

857
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:09,960
thing was performed in his parking lot.

858
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:10,519
Speaker 2: Wow.

859
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,159
Speaker 5: But the very first production that we did was got

860
00:42:14,159 --> 00:42:17,679
to be Mine. I directed a stage version of The

861
00:42:17,679 --> 00:42:23,719
Breakfast Club. And the girl that I had play Ali

862
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,000
Magan Buchanan. She's now the director of the Oklahoma ballet.

863
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:34,000
The guy who I had play the jock is Jet Thomason,

864
00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:36,079
who has done I see in commercials all the time.

865
00:42:36,119 --> 00:42:37,320
He's done plenty of voiceovers.

866
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 2: Yes, and when we first started, he was the guy

867
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:40,480
who did our introduction.

868
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 6: Surely you can't be serious, yes.

869
00:42:43,039 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, but Amy Staremsky, who's now Amy Knowles. We

870
00:42:48,519 --> 00:42:51,519
had Eric Price and we had Matt Brown, both guys

871
00:42:51,519 --> 00:42:54,480
who have done great things in the entertainment world as well,

872
00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:57,239
and I got to direct them before they were doing anything.

873
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,440
And the guy who's at the Oklahoma who was in

874
00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:03,920
charge of like entertainment, found out we were doing this,

875
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,760
and then that you know, I said, we were doing

876
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,519
it in weird spaces. I don't know how, but I

877
00:43:08,559 --> 00:43:10,800
got Norman High to agree to let us do it

878
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,599
in their library. So we literally get to do it

879
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,159
right in the location that's awesome it would normally take

880
00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:19,719
place in. And the guy found out that we were

881
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,760
doing this where it was, and he made us the

882
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,559
number one thing to do. And so there was this wonderful,

883
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,280
you know, Oklahoma news article and it's all of my

884
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:35,559
actors in that poster pose. That's fantastic, big, big moment

885
00:43:35,559 --> 00:43:36,000
in my life.

886
00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:38,119
Speaker 6: By the way, the Oklahoma for those who don't know,

887
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,199
is the newspaper of Oklahoma City.

888
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: It's a big deal. Yeah, very good. Okay, Well, here

889
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,880
we are final judgment. Judgment. I know how you're feeling.

890
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:46,280
Go ahead.

891
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,639
Speaker 5: H Yes, I don't think i've I don't think I've

892
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:50,800
fooled anybody into thinking that there was any chance the

893
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,920
sant almos Fire was sant Amos Fire could be what

894
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,360
the heck happened? Episode? Yeah it was. I'm so sorry.

895
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,320
I met a wonderful person a few weeks ago and

896
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,000
told her that we were doing these two and she

897
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,840
was so excited about Saint elmos Fire, and I if

898
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,320
she watches this, I'm she's gonna be very disappointed. But

899
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:13,039
it was terrible, and Breakfast Club defined the eighties, and

900
00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:16,159
so there's just no question Breakfast Club is a million

901
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,599
miles ahead of sant elmos Fire.

902
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 6: Okay, there, So I agree with you that Breakfast Club

903
00:44:24,559 --> 00:44:27,880
is a nearly perfect movie. It accomplishes what it sets

904
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,000
out to do. It causes you to take five strangers,

905
00:44:31,079 --> 00:44:33,239
you fall in love with their characters. You understand the

906
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,679
point of the movie is that we're all more similar

907
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:36,760
than we think.

908
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,639
Speaker 2: We are. We're all the same. We're all the same.

909
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,079
Speaker 6: We're all an athlete in a basket case and a

910
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:44,719
princess and criminal and sant almos fire. Although I do

911
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,320
have a lot of affection for I am sucked in

912
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,679
by that time in my life where I was aspiring

913
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,960
to be. Oh man, I hope I have a group

914
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,880
of tight knit friends in college, and I hope that

915
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:57,760
we're all there for each other and we love each

916
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,360
other always and that, you know, I think the idea

917
00:45:01,519 --> 00:45:04,400
that this movie is they're transitioning where they were kind

918
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,360
of a big deal at college, and they're kind of

919
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,840
going out into the world, and they're realizing we're not

920
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,559
all going to be the same, and we're not gonna

921
00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:14,360
be friends forever, and we're not gonna get dinner every

922
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,639
Thursday night, and so there's a certain nostalgia. You know,

923
00:45:18,639 --> 00:45:20,440
I had a group like that in college that I'm

924
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,000
super fond of. You met several of them, and we

925
00:45:24,159 --> 00:45:26,199
don't see each other as much as I would like to,

926
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,679
you know, and so there's a sadness with that. However,

927
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,480
when it comes to movie to movie, Breakfast Club is

928
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,960
far and away much better, right.

929
00:45:35,039 --> 00:45:37,199
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's my follow judgement.

930
00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:40,199
Speaker 5: All right, guys, tell us what you think. We know

931
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,119
that there are many of you out there who love

932
00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:45,280
Saint elmos Fire. If you love it more than breakfast club,

933
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,000
we want to know that. Tell us about it and

934
00:45:47,039 --> 00:45:49,599
tell us why you love it more than breakfast club. Yeah,

935
00:45:49,639 --> 00:45:51,840
and you know what, it's a new year. What a

936
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,880
great thought for our new year. We're all the same,

937
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,280
we're all the same. Let's let's find the commonality. Let's

938
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,480
let's not be at each other's throats on the social media.

939
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,920
Let's find ways that we can get along with people

940
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,000
despite our differences.

941
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: How about that?

942
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 6: In the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions were all

943
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:13,440
members of the breakfast club.

944
00:46:13,639 --> 00:46:16,079
Speaker 2: Love you, guys, Thank you so much. Thank you. I

945
00:46:16,119 --> 00:46:16,360
guess
