Remember, it's not worth winning if you can't win! What happens when you mix a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, a criminal, and two mother-loving cake eaters? That's right, everybody. This is the Cake Eaters Podcast. My name is Brandon. That crazy person you just heard is Heath. And today, we have a very special movie that we're talking about with none other than Emilio Estevez as the star of the movie. Emilio!

We're talking the 80s classic Breakfast Club, Heath. What a gem of a coming of age movie for the 80s. Nostalgia everywhere, Brandonon i love this fucking movie and i constantly forget how good it is you know like i'll go i'll go a long time without watching

it and then i put it on and i'm like god this is even better than i remembered you know it's just so good and you forget like how many things that are just like normal now in society were like started in this movie and like came from it like so many like the way that coming of age movies are are portrayed and just all the lines the one-liners like still live in pop culture lexicon forever yes and it's it's one of those movies um because it it's got three locations right yeah maybe even i mean i guess you could argue even less than that but you have you have the library the hallways and then i get i guess the closet the basement yeah uh but yeah so you're essentially you're you're you're locked into this this is a movie that could easily feel very claustrophobic but it doesn't it's a masterful um cinematic piece where you're only in one one like scenic location the entire time

the simplicity of it all is what makes it right like they didn't do like super insane crazy shenanigans like all of that was authentic like in if you had a saturday detention in the 80s everything that took place in this movie very well could have actually happened did you ever have a saturday detention no i never had a detention and like i was i was not my bad yeah listen i i didn't mean to offend you heath i'm sorry no i i i am offended so i did get like so wayne public schools have seminars and detentions. And so like seminars are like 15 minutes. You stay after school. You have to like, kind of like read a book or something, you know,

got a few of those because I had a tendency to talk frequently with a lot of people. One time Mrs. Denner, RIP Mrs. Denner, one time checks out mrs denier rip mrs denier but she one time put me in the back corner of the class with a desk outline all the way around me like there was a desk wall of empty desks desks all the way around me to prevent me from talking to my neighbors it happened one time in homeroom for like a month it was wild and so i would just like whisper talk at her and it would drive her nuts i'd be like and she'd be like heath you are not like you sound like a fucking nightmare oh man that was a real piece of work but those are all my shenanigans are always

just cheeky and fun enough that like maybe i would push a little too far and get a seminar but never so far that i would get a detention and get in actual trouble okay does that make sense never fucking saturday detentions that made no sense to me that must have been an 80s thing I was born I was going to ask you that Because I was born in 86 So I grew up all throughout the 90s In these realms In the early 2000s But Saturday detentions

Were definitely not a thing Summer school was barely a thing Summer school was definitely A thing for my district We didn't have Saturday detentions Though barely a thing so we had summer school was definitely a thing for my district uh like my school district we didn't have saturday detentions though and then when we my district played it real fast and loose with the word detention yeah like if you they they had they would like keep you in like during lunch sometimes like you would uh you'd go to lunch and then instead of going to

recess you you know you'd stay in the classroom for 10 minutes out of the 30 minutes or recess or whatever then they called that at attention like a 10 minute lunch detention um we got lots and lots of those as i was uh a lot of lunch detentions okay all right all right that makes sense again again along the same lines of you it was just like talking talking or not not paying attention or whatever um but yeah uh i think the saturday detention was for sure that's an older 80s thing i think once the 90s hit and like parents you know you didn't have like like parents had shit going on on the weekends like you had stuff you couldn't you know yeah well like this you couldn't like drop your hat and drive your kid to fucking school if you know on a whim just because they talked too much on a friday

well they their parents had all fucking day to do it this was not just like a two-hour detention it was an eight-hour detention it's a full other school day yeah full school day that just seems very oppressive i don't know what kind of fucking fascist state that was in but like yikes dude saturday attention for eight hours the the fascist state of illinois oh my god illinois get it together that is rough eight hour saturday like you gotta now granted some of the stuff that they did maybe did deserve an eight-hour attention, like, you know, taping someone's butt cheeks together and bringing a flare gun. That's just good fun. Good-natured ribbing.

Just everybody loves a good tape, you know, a good tape job. And then eight hours to write a thousand-word essay. The Saturday detention threw me off. But outside of that, this is just one of – A thousand-word essay is where I had the problem. was like are you kidding me that's bullshit yeah um but this is a john hughes classic i don't know if you ever read or like i read ready player one or i guess i listened to it on audible but like that that book is like very into like 80s pop culture and so there's like a whole thing on john hughes movies in that book and it really digs into like this and pretty in

pink but ah man i i love some good john hughes movies i love a good john hughes the the the bulk of stuff that i've gotten my John Hughes nostalgia from, this is something we've talked about before, is Psych. Psych is like, that's just nonstop 80s nostalgia. Yeah. So that's where I got a lot of that from. Very kind of similar to Ready Player One there. Speaking of which, every main character,

I'm 90% sure every main character in this movie, except for Emilio, has guest starred on Psych. And that's awesome. I know Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, for sure. Ally Sheedy had a recurring role on Psych. And Ally Sheedy is the fucking best. I love Ally Sheedy. She crushes. And I'm pretty sure Anthony Michael Hall was on an episode of Psych as well.

I could be wrong about that, though. That's the only one I'm pretty sure Anthony Michael Hall was on an episode of Psych as well. I could be wrong about that. That's the only one I'm not sure of. Anthony Michael Hall is at one of the holiday episodes of Community. He plays the bully. And it is amazing. And he dresses like the older brother from the goonies that's how that's how he dresses in that episode of community i think i may have said this on that pod before but like the first two seasons of community i am obsessed with everything after that you can stop watching

but the first two seasons are fucking gold okay but all right back to this oh back to john hughes so like what what are some so like some of the favorite john hughes movies because like when i watched this i googled it and i was like oh man i gotta look and see because i haven't watched 16 candles and pretty and pink in forever i just watched weird science not that long ago and that was that movie is something else too it's it's hilarious but the ones that i did not know that he like wrote or directed were the kids ones and my top two john hughes movies easy home alone and home alone too those are those are one and two. One and two. What about Home Alone 3?

Fuck that movie. I am appalled that he was a part of making Home Alone 3. It's not that good. Wow. Not that good. And then third is Uncle Buck. Okay. I love some Uncle Buck.

That's young Macaulay again. Macaulay Culkin. Yeah. Yeah. The Dennis the Menace movie he did was really good, too. Okay. Yeah. I don't.

I'm not a huge Uncle Buck fan. I could take a leave home alone. Yeah. Either way. I love Pretty Pink, though. Sixteen Candles. Fucking fantastic. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is great.

I'm a sucker for Molly Ringwald. Molly Ringwald is a national treasure as far as I'm concerned. Okay, hold on. What is Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles? I always get crossed. Like I said, I haven't watched them in forever. Which is Pretty in Pink and which is Sixteen Candles? So Pretty in Pink is the one with ducky right so that's the you know the guy from two

and a half men so that's the one where she's like best friends with ducky and ducky's in love with her but she's like going after the the popular kid yeah that's right that's right that's right 16 candles is with anthony michael hall, I believe. And he's the nerd. Yeah. And it's her birthday. It's her birthday. Yeah. It's her 16th birthday.

Is that the. Is 16 Candles where he's like standing outside by the car and she like looks out the window and he's like standing by the car. With the boom box? No, that's say anything oh damn it i keep getting these movies all crossed all right i mean it's it's it's it's easy i mean all the 80s romance stuff kind of like or like like teenage romance stuff kind of blends in um but yeah but yeah 16 candles that's. It's her birthday. And it's just like every embarrassing thing that you think could happen on your birthday happens to her. Oh, okay. All right.

That's not bad. All right. So what are your top three? I gave you mine. My top three. Breakfast Club is number one for sure. Oh, yeah. Breakfast Club is probably tied for three with uncle black

might be better than uncle black yeah yeah breakfast breakfast club is probably like top 10 favorite movie of all time um i would do i think i'd do pretty in pink number two and then three and four would probably be a tie between Ferris Bueller and 16 Candles. Dude, I it's going to be controversial because I know people like love that movie, but I am not

a fan of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It is nothing but an unending I like listen, like are you like people get very aggressive in their I won't get, I won't get aggressive about it. Cause I can definitely see how it's, you know, it's not, it's not everybody's cup of tea.

Can I explain to you why I can't watch it too? Cause this is this, you might, you might understand because, okay. So Ferris Bueller's day off his friend um the red wings jersey he's always in the cameron cameron is it fry i think his last name is or it starts with an f cameron okay cameron yeah cameron fry a great friend in ferris dude who plays him on succession you've watched succession no i don't watch succession oh you add that to your hbo list dude okay okay adding that but poor cameron is sitting there just trying to stay home from school he's actually not feeling well and ferris is just a fucking menace and that

movie gives me so much anxiety for poor cam Cameron like that guy like how do you not feel the anxiety for poor Cameron and Ferris is like stealing his dad's goddamn car like what a shithead friend like just what kind of friend puts another friend in that kind of constant anxious like scenario obviously Cameron is gonna havetsd from this he's gonna like he's gonna go to his therapist and be like oh we got to talk about ferris again you can you can see the ptsd manifest itself halfway through the movie yeah that's what i'm saying oh my god that's i can't even watch it brandon like i can't deal with ferris being such a jackass. Everyone's like, oh, Ferris, he's so cute. He's like, no, that guy is a selfish jerk, and I feel bad for Cameron. That's fair.

Sorry for all my Ferris Bueller fans out there, but it's not for me, and I just feel bad for Cameron. I'm going to give you my counterargument in three easy steps here. Okay. Number one, Cameroneron fry wearing the red wings jersey yeah iconic amazing yeah saves the saves the movie right there number two mia sarah again i don't think i have to explain anymore okay and then i'm gonna i'm gonna one up you on me a sarah

i'm gonna say number three is jennifer gray in her prime okay and so jennifer gray in her prime with those curls easily easily one of the most beautiful women in the history of the world i'm not arguing with that either but once again you know they are also wrapped up in ferris's shenanigans and could have been negatively impacted by these things but dude jennifer gray with those curls and that like that like peach cardigan dude i'm not okay that's i'm not i'm not arguing with that. But it's just. I'm going to throw a call back to one of our previous episodes. Yeah.

Buddy games. I would shout that box for weeks on end. Oh, my God. Brandon. All right. Do you want that to be your personal brand on the radio? Chow and box is 100% going to be my personal brand now. So I'll make a shirt.

You ever heard of Brandon? Are you talking about the Chow the Box guy? Yeah. Let me Chow Box like Brandon. Good God. All right, hold on. So let's reel it back in. Do you want want to do a it can be a quick synopsis just because like you talked about it it's just one location it's hyper realistic about

forgot we were talking about breakfast club not ferris bueller yeah yeah yeah we're not talking about ferris bueller and the anxiety attack that it gives me for an hour and a half because yeah or fucking cameron just being endlessly like it's a it's a it is a poster child movie for um peer pressure toxic peer pressure but he's jennifer gray dude the toxic peer pressure that comes from that movie i can't even i can't even with it brandon ferris should not be celebrated he's a naughty kid he's definitely like it's that's one of those movies where like the main character is should not be the one that you look up to you know like like like fight club if ferris is your hero at the end of the movie. You watched the wrong movie. Guy sucks. All right.

So run a quick synopsis of Breakfast Club because it's – Okay. For anybody who hasn't seen Breakfast Club, it's five high school students meet in the library at high school for Saturday detention. Eight-hour long, full-day Saturday detention. Yikes. students meet in the library at high school for saturday detention eight hour long full day saturday detention yikes and it they could not be more different of a group of kids and then you know they they find out they have a lot more in common than they originally thought he well yeah they most certainly do that's it it's a saturday detention with the crazy principle it's great it's these five kids um who are just sitting in the library together talking and it's very simple and it's it it's

100% rests on cast chemistry which is through the fucking roof yeah 100 and and the dialogue that yeah that is yeah the dialogue the dialogue is has been written. Yeah, I was just going to say that. Yeah, the dialogue. The dialogue is the one-liners is absolutely great. And so now that we're able to read the quickest and easiest synopsis in the world, do you want to dig into it? Let's say there's, what, five, six characters? We should just dig into each one of them really quick. Five kids, and then you have the principal.

My favorite. And you also got Carl, the janitor, who's a badass. Yeah, he's great. Drop some knowledge on the principal, and that's a good thing. And has him drink some beers while the kids are up there doing their shenanigans. Yeah. The kids haven't changed. No.

There you go. It's beautiful. All you educators out there, I'm sorry that your wages suck, but don't forget youth in America depend on you. Speaking of one-liners and wages, there's a line that the prince... Is he actually the principal? The bad thing is that wages

haven't changed since this movie. Is he the actual principal, though? I think he's just... He's like a vice principal, is how I like it. Something like I think he's just like a, he's like a, like a vice principal is how I like is something like that. He's not the principal. He's like a vice principal or something. But so there's a line where he's,

he's screaming at a bender. Who's Jen Nelson's character. He's screaming at bender. And he's like, cause he's like literally about to pick up, like throw, throw punches with trying to make him fight him. And he goes,

I make $31,000 a year and I own a home. I'm not about to throw that away for a punk like you. And yeah, that salary is about the same as it is now. About the same. Yeah, it's pretty much the exact same. And these poor teachers have to buy their own school supplies. So we won't get into- And you can't even write it off in taxes either.

Your school supplies. Well, you can write off I think it's like a hundred bucks or some bullshit like that. We can't educate your children, but you know what we can do, Brandon? Jet fly over. Yeah, that's fair.

We won't get into frivolous government spending in Breakfast Club Breakdown. Imagine if there was a jet flyer over at the end of breakfast club that would have been so with judd nelson with the fist oh that would have been pretty dope though you know hey hey hey hey the characters uh who do you want to start with do you want to break it down do you want to start with the principal and then get into the kids okay yeah yeah since we already we already

did the 31 000 line yeah yeah let's just continue going um and one of my other favorite lines well this is it's a line towards him is when jed nelson is like oh do you raid raid Barry Manilow's closet? Yeah. He's wearing a dope-ass suit, dude. Yeah. Yeah. So my favorite interaction of this whole movie is the Bender principal back and forth with the detentions when he's like, eat my shorts. And he's like, all right, that's another detention. You want another one? No, that's another detention. You want another one? No, that's another one.

So another one. He's like, I've got you for the rest of your natural born life. And then he's like, is that eight? And Anthony Michael is like, I think it's seven. Starts yelling at him for giving him the right answer. Shut up. Yeah, yeah. And then he gives him the the horns and he's

like i've got you for the next two months oh next time i have to come back in here i'm cracking skulls the best part is the best part is when he says when he says next time i come back in here i'm cracking skulls you can tell he said that so many times because uh john nelson bender mouths him like he knows what he's gonna say oh i didn't notice that it cuts to him right when he's saying i'm cracking skulls and john bender like mouths it along so that's his catchphrase is i'm cracking skulls oh wait the other part of that interaction that i forgot about is when molly ringwald jumps in and she's like hey and then mouths stop but she like mouths it really emphatically that is like these this scene is recreated and like nods to it all the time as like little shout outs i do this moment to kelly all the time i'll be like hey

she she hates it but i do a lot of things that drive people crazy so it's neither here nor there it's part of the deal you know yeah but i i love seeing i try to throw that in whenever i can oh my god oh the other part of the movie that i forgot about is when um for from the principal when he tries to prop the door open and he uses the chair chair goes flying and then uh he makes uh emilio put the magazine rack in front of it and then what about the fire code dick then he starts screaming at emilio he's like get this out of here what do you do why'd you put this here get this out of here yeah what do you do why'd you put this here get this out of here oh and then when he when he pulls uh we talked about him when he pulls in the room to fight and and he's like he calls him a gutless turd yeah he calls jed nelson a gutless turd oh my god

yeah it's like screaming in his face he's like come on hit me right here just one shot one shot and and then he like the final kind of thing for the principal i that i really cared about was like he gets caught looking through the files so he has to give the carl the janitor 50 bucks and then they end up just bonding and having some beers down there but oh man i love that from carl when he's like when the principal's like maybe we can just keep this between you know you and Carl when he's like, when the principal is like, maybe we can just keep this between, you know, you and me. And he's like, well, what are you going to do for me? I don't know. What do you want, Carl? $50.

This comes right out. He's just 50 bucks. Yeah. My favorite is just that first, like part of the detention when the, with the interactions with the principal and Judd Nelson. And then when he, when he pulls the pin, that's my favorite part of the detention when the with the interactions with the principal and judd nelson and then when he when he pulls the pin that's my favorite part of the movie yeah the other the other the other great one is when um after he locks judd nelson in the room and he goes to the bathroom and judd nelson is climbing through the the ceiling or whatever and then falls down yeah into the back into the library oh yeah he comes running in and he's got the toilet seat cover stuck to his pants. Oh, that is so good, too.

And he's like yelling at him like, what's that noise? Oh, man. Paul Gleason is the guy that played the principal and he absolutely crushes it. And the principal was bored as shit there, too, so it doesn't make

any sense. Did you see the little cup, the pencil cup weird thing that he made? When he spills coffee all over his lunch? That was heartbreaking. I've been there before. Nothing worse than that. Then he's hangry for the rest of the day. No wonder he tried

to fight Judd Nelson. That was the principal played by... I forget his name. for the rest of the day no wonder he tried to fight judd nelson you know uh so all right so that was the principal played by uh well i forget his name it was just it's his vernon vernon's his last name yeah richard vernon because judd nielsen always calls him dick that's right yeah yeah yeah uh all right so that was that was awesome who do you want to go first for the kids you want to do brian the anthony michael let's talk brian because the first thing i want to talk about with brian is he pulls up to detention right and his his mom and his sister both pieces of work yeah real pieces

of work yelling at him to fucking study that's what my mom would have done though oh you got a detention you better use the most of this time you better read you better study have your homework done for the rest of the week oh i saw mama d right there telling me to get my shit together but the best part is so after they after that little interaction they zoom out and he's getting out of the car did you see the license plate on on on his parents car no i didn't i didn't it's emc-M-C-2. E equals M-C squared. No, it did not. That is unbelievable. That is so, so good.

One thing I want to talk about before you get involved. One thing I want to talk about. I touched on it briefly with Vernon. The other thing they do a really good job this movie does a really good job of is like i don't want to call it like subtle cues because they're not that subtle they're they're pretty overhanded actually but it's like little things that tell you about the characters yeah and one of those things that tells you almost everything you need to know about each individual character is the lunch that they bring yeah to detention the lunch scene is one of my favorites yes it is absolutely one of

my favorites in the when when bender comes over to go through uh brian's yeah brian's lunch with him because bender what are we eating today brian yeah because bender obviously doesn't have he didn't know his parents did not give him a lunch. So for Brian's lunch, he's got a thermos of soup. He's got an apple juice. He's got a bag of carrots. And he's got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the crust cut off.

Yeah, I love that wrinkle. Every single food group accounted for. Yes. Present and accounted for. Yes. And I love that the crusts were cut off oh yes and like he just tries to be like so nice and like the peace master right like he tries to be the like whenever he's always trying to butt into yeah he jumps in but he's like tries to like like oh like he'll try to like come in and be like okay guys let's just let's calm down here

you know let's be nice my favorite thing uh of his is when they're um when everybody else when like uh claire andrew and bender are all talking they're like yelling at each other about how how terrible The other one is And they're talking about the activities that they're doing And Brian's Not in the conversation But he's outside and every once in a while he just

Pipes up and he's like I'm in physics club I'm in math club Lab club And then Bender stops the conversation He's like hold on guys i'm sorry brian what are you saying and he's like i just i just wanted to tell you that i was in the physics club in the math club poor brian like he's he's his only friend is the feckin janitor you know brandon oh yeah i love that i love i love that with carl i love that he's the only nice person

to carl up at the school. Yeah, him and Carl are buddies. I thought that was nice. And then everyone's mean to him about it. It's like, well, I was always nice to the janitors and staff. They're just living their lives, man. Just be nice to them. Yeah. There's no need to be. Same with the lunch ladies.

At the end, then they're all nice to Carl at the end. Even Bender. Bender's like, I'll see see you next saturday dude because he's there yeah every saturday you're gonna be you're gonna be friends but yeah dude be nice to the school staff dude i was always nice to the lunch lady sometimes they would like you know i if i was first you know it's nice to the lunch lady they'd throw me an extra sandwich you know a little wink wink extra sandwich yesterday always be be nice be nice to everybody for sure but definitely be nice to the people in like service roles yeah oh man

it's just they're just trying their best yeah you know and they're not they're not there for you you know yeah and like yeah i've never understood people that are mean to like waitresses and stuff instant instant fucking red flag i will eat the wrong food like that literally happened here i won't say the name of the hotel because it was just the waitress i told her what i wanted three times and she brought me out and it was like some like fucking pork haunch or something and it was the worst but you know what i did i ate it and moved on with my life like it just i still left a 20 tip like you know it just i fucking hated her forever like i do i like that waitress is the bane of my existence i will never ever ever eat there again but like you know i wasn't a dick about it i feel

you there's i would say i would say 90 of the time i won't say anything. Just fucking choke it down. In that case, if she brought me like the completely wrong thing, I would probably say something. But if like, you know, if I asked for like no pickles and there were pickles on it, whatever. Just swipe it to the side or whatever. And then, yeah, at minimum, I leave a 20% tip. Yeah. You could like, if you were my waitress or my waiter you could literally walk the food out right in front of me look me in the eyes and spit in my

my dish i'd still give you 20 yeah all right that's a little that's a little far i might throw up if they did that but like you know i wouldn't eat i'm not gonna eat it but i would i would pay for it give me 20 yeah that's just, that's, that's what you should do. But anyways, that's instant red flag when people are meaning to service people, instant red flag, get rid of those people in your life. Anyways, back to, back to Brian, back to the movie. Hold on. So we have to talk about the, cause each of them,

each of the characters that we talk about, we'll talk about some because each of them each of the characters that we talk about we'll talk about some of these main scenes but like the circle where they're all talking about the real reason why they're in detention and brian's story we both got that was something else that was something else but like that was improvised did you know that that was i saw that on imd that John Hughes just let them improvise that whole scene where they were telling why. Yeah, yeah. So Anthony Michael Hall's version of it is he just starts crying all of a sudden because he was going to get an F in, what, shop class or something? Yeah, because he had to make a lamp in shop, and he couldn't make the lamp.

Couldn't make the lamp. So he's he had to make a lamp in shop and he couldn't make the lamp couldn't make the lamp so he's gonna get it yeah and so he's gonna get a b in the class no matter what he does he's gonna get a b instead of best case scenario he gets best case scenario um and so he was he was feeling really rough and he was gonna end it all yep he was prepared to to to go off in you know in a blaze of glory yes and and so he brought a gun to school with him and that's why he he tells them he got in trouble for bringing a gun to school and then moments later clarifies not just any gun brandon but a flare gun yep and so and then emilio just starts laughing in his face after he says that the reason he got caught is because the flare gun went off in his locker so like what a moment in time for that is why he was in detention a flare gun went off in his locker so yeah yeah i mean that was brian anthony michael hall who went on to play that same nerd character in a few

other johnny's that that scene his his performance in that scene is fantastic because like you said it starts off with him crying and he tells the whole story about how his parents are super crazy and he can't he has to get an a he's always got to get an a so much pressure um and so it's like a real heartfelt scene and then he brings the fact he brings up the fact that he wanted to kill himself so he brought a gun and so like you're you're it's this these heavy heavy emotions and then geez yikes this is rough you know like academic pressure it's real yeah. Yeah, yeah. Real fucking thing. And like the feeling that he wanted to kill himself was real for sure.

But then he hits you with the fact that he was too stupid to get a real gun and he brought a flare gun. And Emilio just starts laughing at him. And then he starts laughing at himself when he's like, oh, that was silly. You know know that's i wanted to but there's not a lot of intention if it's not the right type yeah yeah yeah like he he wanted to but he didn't really want to you know yeah yeah yeah uh that's great the other the other scene i love with him and emilio is when they're they're sitting with with allison and um she gives him back his his so allison stole his like his wallet yeah so he gives it back and emilio's going through it and he finds the fake id he's like yeah he's like you

know you did this wrong right your fake id says you're 68 years old he's like yeah but i just use it to vote yeah yeah he was that was that line was improvised too yeah uses this fake id to vote what i just use it to vote oh that's still a joke that's ongoing too i remember another tv show kind of went back and and reuse that no that was and like when they all went through their pockets and shit and she like ali sheedy jumped out all of her contents and like then tells them she's a nympho we'll talk about her in a second we'll talk about it oh yeah so so good uh yeah brian was those two scenes i love they were fantastic yeah and then uh all the all the all the other scenes where um he's like trying to win over bender you know when he's like asking him if he's a virgin and he like makes the insinuation that he slept with claire yeah um he's just always trying to like like be you know get it be accepted by the the cooler kids yeah he just wants them to throw him a bone just like oh hey

it's okay you can chat with us we can be buddies today yeah and then when they're talking about like wouldn't you know it when monday rolls around where you know molly molly ringwald character claire it's like we're not nobody's no we're nobody's talking to each other again when monday rolls around and then him and allison get all upset they're like i would never do that to you guys yeah just trying to get trying to be accepted you know yeah that's what it's all about yeah speaking of allison do you want to do you want to go into, or is her name Allison in the movie? Yeah, it's Ally Sheedy's character. Her character's name is Allison Reynolds.

Oh, okay. Did you even watch it? Yeah, I did, but I don't know. I don't know. I've seen this movie so many times that I was probably more loosely paying attention than anything. Because I just, you know, it was always on like tnt or tbs too growing up so like i've seen bits and parts of this movie a billion times like in like the first half of the movie i feel like i've seen way more than the second half okay because like when it comes on tv you always start watching it but then sometimes it's like oh let me switch over to the

game or you know and then like halfway through you're kind of you're out that's fine so that's fair yeah so there's that but anyways so we're talking to allison next ali sheedy let's talk ali sheedy's character allison ali sheedy you know talking psych the wonderful yang right what else is she in i i should have done my homework but do you have anything just off the top? I mean, she's in a new show that I just started watching called Single Drunk Female.

She plays the main character's mom. She's fantastic in that. And then she's done she's been doing side characters in one-off characters in any sitcom you can imagine. She was in Psych psych i'm pretty sure she's done a couple of law and orders short circuit remember that classic war games oh

war games come on that war games is a super underrated 80s movie. I fucking love War Games. She was Did you ever see the newest one? No, not the newest. The second to newest one. The X-Men movie, X-Men Apocalypse. Yeah, I've seen all those. She plays the teacher.

She's got like a 30 second scene at the beginning of the movie Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, I remember that She's great, but she's best in Psych For sure She's real good in the new show Single Drunk Female

I highly recommend that show For anybody Yeah, my favorite role Of hers outside of breakfast club is definitely war games war games is fantastic yeah it says she has a she's in saint elmo's fire too right yeah saint elmo's fire i don't remember that movie very as well that's another we might do that that's another emilia movie we can do that yeah we can yeah for sure what were you saying though before i well now i forgot you're saying something what's that anyways well right before right before i said city almost far oh um it said she had a part in home alone too but i didn't click into it to

see what it was she's the the ticket agent oh okay yeah that makes sense that makes sense But Ali She plays the Kind of the The crazy the basket case The basket case Kind of gothy outsider chick Yeah exactly and we're introduced by her

She's kind of weird and squeaking And she doesn't talk for the First half of the movie Yeah my favorite is when she does the dandruff introduced by her she's kind of weird and squeaking and she doesn't talk for the first half of the movie yeah my favorite is when she does the dandruff onto the picture as the snow that is another really classic classic moment of this movie oh my god for the listeners out there ali sheedy is drawing a beautiful winter landscape and to make it snow she rubs her hands through her hair very vigorously and all of her dandruff

powders down. So that was rough. That was hard to watch. And then her lunch. Yeah, so I haven't written down because it's fucking bananas. Oh my god. What is it? Is that like pimento? It's not pimento it what is that is that like pimento it's not

pimento loaf is it was it pimento loaf like that what's like the little meat or like olive loaf it looked like oh yeah it was pimento loaf yeah so her i don't know her parents or she the lunch that was packed was a pimento loaf sandwich with like butter or mayo on it yeah but so she takes the bread off um puts that aside and then throws the pimento loaf and i'll eat it whatever topic she throws she throws it anywhere she just tosses it behind her yeah hits the statue yeah so now she just has the two pieces of bread yeah then she goes into her bag and she pulls out 20 pixie sticks. Yeah. Yeah. Dumps the pixie sticks onto the bread.

And then she takes, because they bought them all Cokes. So she takes a little bit of Coke and she sprinkles that on there too with a straw. And then she grabs what I think is like Captain Crunch cereal. That's what I put. Yeah. It looks like the regular crunch. It's definitely cereal for sure. I think it's Captain Crunch. It's 100% regular.

I've eaten enough plain Captain Crunch at your former employer. I know. She dumps that on the sandwich too. Then she makes it into an actual sandwich and then starts eating it. Pixie stick Coke Captain Crunch sandwich amazing sugar that sugar high from that oh my god no

wonder she starts talking later in the movie and she's making a mess it's crazy loud everybody's staring at oh my god that was that was so like my big question from that is like, was it mayo or was it butter? Or does it even matter what was on that bread? It doesn't matter. I mean, I don't know. Was there for sure something on it? I couldn't remember if there was anything on it. There for sure was.

It was either butter or mayo or one of the two. It doesn't matter. It's still the fucking grossest thing ever. Okay. And so like my other favorite part from her is when she is manipulating Molly Ringwald to admit that she's a virgin. And to do that, she says that she is a nymphomaniac who sleeps with her therapist. Multiple times. Yeah. sleeps with her therapist multiple times yeah and her therapist is is married

and she is screwing her shrink I think that's how she phrases it screwing her shrink and then she has another line where she goes I don't think it's technically rape because I pay him yes I forgot about that oh my gosh before that

when Molly Ringwald then before before that when molly ringwald um like like right before that conversation starts molly ringwald uh she's asking everybody what would you do for a million dollars and she's like it needs to be like the most extreme thing like like would you drive to school naked yeah it's the example she throws out and molly and then allison ali she goes this is another one of my favorite fucking lines yeah she she comes in and shelly and then allison ali she goes this is another one of my favorite fucking lines she she comes in and she goes i'll do anything sexual i don't even need a million dollars that's right i forgot and then right i think right after that is when she calls herself yeah i'm a nymphomaniac and then oh and then anthony michael hall is like do your parents know that was like the best line by him because it just like did such a good job of like

portraying his innocence right as like the super nerdy like doesn't go out doesn't talk to people and just him his physics math club friends and the janitor yeah well that's that was so good i love what like towards towards the end when her and emilio are are starting to bond she oh yeah she calls him sporto like yeah like hey sporto yeah i love that and then they fall in love and she gets the makeover she gets the makeover from molly ringwald she's like why are you being so nice to me and then molly ringwald's like you're letting me yeah and then she's always she's always stealing everything like oh yeah like brian's wallet kleptomaniac yeah she steals bender's after bender pulls out the knife and stabs it into the chair she like reaches over and grabs it she she steals the

patch off of emilio's letter jack letterman jacket there's like six or seven other things where she like just in the back of the scene you see her reach out and grab it yeah did uh were you like okay so this is like a little random but speaking of her and amelio everyone left detention and were making out in front of their parents as they were getting picked up. Not in front of their parents, on their parents' car. Yeah, with their parents in the driver's seat. They're making out like lunatics and they just hop in and it's good to go. That part was just, oh, good.

Mind-boggling. And it's the 80s. There's no fucking way any of their parents are letting that go down. No, that was the only part that was not believable. Why would you want to do that? Even in my horniest of high school days, I was never making out right in front of my dad. Good God, no. You don't want to hear about because then i don't know if it was like you

but then you get to talk for the next like fucking forever where every time so you know i would honestly i would love to hear a mama d talk mama d never gave the talk big mike always had to yeah i was like right hey you know uh it's you you gotta wrap it i bet i bet that's why i bet that's why you turned out so weird. I feel like if Mama D would have gave you the talk, you would have turned out better. That's the issue. Down to business and Big Mike's just kind of skating around the awkward stuff.

You know? It's like, my buddy's dad always, my dad never had to because my friend's dad would always give us the talk in public very loud like hey boys you see you to fucking wrap it up you're out running around use those fucking raincoats i mean that's not much of a talk that's what it was

that's all you got i mean i guess that's better than most people get it well like i mean i did get the talk my dad it's just it's awkward you know just it was it was fine okay you know you got any questions you know let me know don't make out on my car yeah don't you know you can make it out in my car if i'm not there but not on top of my car while i'm in the driver's seat don't be getting anyone fucking pregnant that's what it was you have to kick your ass anyways all right so that just i had to bring that up because that was just just like you i was like there's no way there's no way oh my god not to i mean to bring to talk about other characters there's, it's like right before they leave to go make out on top of all their parents' cars.

And Molly Ringwald, she goes into the closet where Bender is. Yeah. And they have their little heat moment where they're... And the first thing she does, the first thing she does is she walks up and she kisses him on the neck. Yeah. That's not a first move.

Neck kiss is not a first move. I'm sorry. You can't lead with a neck kiss. That's not. That's a cheek kiss. No. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what you lead with.

Well, I mean, just lead with a normal kiss. Don't go for the neck. The neck of all things. Nothing says 80s high school make out like necking brandon especially because he's wearing he's wearing like two shirts one of them has got a collar you know to get to the neck was a lot of work mom that go go for a regular kiss i i can't even get into like the way that bender speaks to her oh it's that it's it's it's a rough we won't even get into it we want he calls her fucking cherry like that was i was like whoa whoa whoa let's let's bump the brakes there it's

when he's a high school girl he sexually assaults her when he's waiting oh my god yeah when you're not waiting when he's hiding under her desk yeah uh that's we Yeah. We won't get into that. That's a whole 80s thing and not understanding what is and is not sexual harassment. Yeah. That was a cultural misunderstanding and a rough one at that. You know, like we've since gotten smarter on a lot of those things. So we'll just breeze past that like we have to with so gotten smarter on a lot of those things so we'll just we'll just breeze past that like we have to with so many things from the 80s all right so do we

want to that was great with ali sheedy do we want to switch over and go into um i i well let's end with emilio do you want to go bender or claire let's do bender first all right so and bender aka judd nelson aka the rebel has a just a mountain of one-liners of just one-liner chaos um my favorite well my least favorite thing that he does is at the very very beginning when he hocks a loogie and spits it up in the air and then catches it he catches his it was the most fucking foul thing ever brandon i fucking hated it it was pretty terrible it was it was just as bad as the dandruff it was so much worse than the dandruff in my opinion he makes up for it though later on in the movie when he uh lights the lights his shoe on fire and then lights

and then lights a cigarette with his shoe oh that was dope that was badass dude that was super badass okay and then let's talk about his locker here for a second because his locker was something else and how he took over someone else's locker above him. And so to get into his locker, you first have to get past the guillotine. Yep. Which, you know, dropping the hammer on you there with the guillotine. And then when you do much. No, no, no.

But for some reason you put your, your foot in the locker. Oh my God. But it opens up into like a secondary locker where he has his weed stash like quadruple bagged but yeah dude that when he when he pulls out the bag oh he pulls out the first bag and then the second bag and then the third bag and then the weed i was like that's that's like that's such subtle fucking gold humor it is so good dude absolute genius although i will have to say like with him not having any of that ziploc you know the smell's still getting out you got to get that airtight refreshness well i think that's why it's bagged so much is to to tamp down the smell

because he's got it he's got it a he's got it like saran wrapped yeah that's true and then then it's in three different paper bags that are like crumpled and like you know as airtight as you could get a paper bag so i think that's that's why it was like you know quadruple bag and to be fair i don't think ziploc baggies were super readily available like they are now like they were especially at his house dude yeah oh yeah that's true that's true uh but anyway yeah his locker was amazing um oh my god when he is like asking if emilio and molly ringwald are together and he's like hey why don't you close the door and we'll get the prom queen impregnated yep that was rough that was that was rough and then when he was like do you slipper the hot beef injection that that oh my god that's not as good as chowing on a box but that's a good line oh my oh my god the hot beef injection and his gloves his gloves oh my gosh

i was one of them has like a One of them has a button on it. Did you see what the button said? Well, because it was like, I didn't, but they were like driving gloves. Fashionable driving gloves, it looked like. No, they were fingerless mesh gloves like Michael Jackson. Oh, Jesus. I can't but lighting his lighting his sag or his j off of his shoe was amazing fucking super well then he's like just randomly tearing the pages out of the books uh

oh yeah that's pretty solid yeah oh here we go i i was trying to say i was trying to remember what his uh what does that say what his button because he has a button on one of the gloves and it says like not scared is that what it says uh i don't know oh no not not saved that's what it says not oh that's right that's right that's right yep not saved yeah not saved that's right. That's right. That's right. Yep. Not saved. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. His gloves are fucking amazing. So sick. Speaking of like, dude, you can get them on Amazon. You need to get those going back to the lunch scene. His whole diet tribe, 10 bucks on Amazon. That's a score.

That's a score right there. No, but his whole lunch diatribe about a day in the bender house. No, dad, what about you? Fuck you. No, dad. What about you? Fuck you. Smack.

That one is gets gets kind of like run like imitated a lot too. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Any movie you've ever seen, I guarantee you just take it something from breakfast club.

Oh, 100%. I also love that. He hides the weed and Anthony Michaels hall underwear. And then the principal like yells at him about his dope. And he's like, it's in Brian's underwear, sir.

Yeah. He, the principal says like what would you do if your dope was on fire well that's impossible it's in his underwear i lost my mind when he said that that was that was beauty so good oh i didn't hear the did you hear the insane joke he's telling himself when he's crawling through the ceiling before he falls through it and just i i forget what it is i i don't think i don't think he says the punchline before he falls no he doesn't he doesn't it just i didn't know if you heard it it didn't make any fucking sense it was about some blonde that's all i remember some blonde girl uh that's and then my favorite other favorite from him is when he's like all right i'll distract

the principal don't you guys worry you go get saved and he's in i'm an army i want to be an army ranger yeah oh my god and then when he gets into the to the gym he's like i'm going for a motherfucking scholarship um because on pineapple express danny Danny McBride imitates that with the yoga ball. And he's like, I'm going for a motherfucking scholarship. When he's trying to distract the two from the other guys getting there. Oh, man. There's so much Breakfast Club out there and other movies and stuff. It's fucking legit.

The scene when they're in the hallway and he goes and distracts them. that's fucking legit the scene when he when they're in the hallway and he he goes and distracts them that's fantastic yeah he's singing i want to be an army ranger so good and then yeah he's playing basketball oh so good then then like the principal like trying to chase after him and like look through it is so good too oh i love it and then he like he like fakes the fakes the path to pass the ball to the principal yeah what did you notice too he put one gym shoe on yeah one i think it was a new balance to one new balance here and then he took one of his boots oh god i just i so judd nelson like it he he got a lot of stuff after this right like just these similar type roles yeah he got

especially throughout the 80s he got typecast as like the the bad boy the rebel bad boy yeah but he did great in this movie yeah he did uh he did he fucking killed it he was so good in this movie and he's always got the flared nostrils going too so yeah like he's agitated and he's ready yeah his nostrils are always that's how you you could feel the angst coming through every nostril flare every single one every single and then him i i love him and emilio's uh like back and forth to have when they're like almost like they're almost fighting each other yeah those are so good i like him with brian their relationship and like how they kind of like grow back and forth together i thought that was cold because brian just wanted to be cool so he wanted to be cool so fucking bad and judd nelson eventually kind of gave in a little bit

let him get high with him you know it was it was it was a big deal it was very nice of him to share all those all that you know like yeah rolling everybody their own jay like say what you want about bender and you know how hopefully he was coached on the way he speaks to women, but outside of that, like he was a really good friend to them to allow roll up a J for each of them and just hang out and, you know, make their Saturdays memorable. We,

we, we hope his, his attitude towards women throughout this movie is simply a reflection of his, of his home life. And so hopefully, hopefully he realized he realized the error of his, of his dad's ways.

Yes. And then was able to make his own adjustments. Yes, let's hope. Let's hope. Yeah. But otherwise, Judd Nelson, the fashion, the flared nostrils, the one-liners.

So good, dude. The triple bag of weed. Just tearing up the books and throwing them in. Emilio Sporto. The nicknames he had because he called amelio sporto molly was cherry what did he call did he have a nickname for brian and allison i think no he did i feel like he gave him some weird name i think he just called brian brain okay something like that yeah um but his his relationship with the principal and their back and forth yeah so that's where i was at and when he's like he's like screws fall

out all the time dick the world's an imperfect place oh like yeah he's like a little like fucking smart ass. This is great. Or like when, when Carl first comes in and he's like, so Carl, can you, how does, how does one become a janitor? And he's like, well, you want to be a janitor? And he's like, no, but Andrew over here really wants to pursue a career in the custodial arts. Yeah. The custodial arts.

That was, that was great. And the fact that like, they really tried to improv as much of this as possible i thought was said a lot about like the actors and like they all went on to really good things so amazing cast yes like like ali sheedy is fantastic one of my favorite like i guess maybe you would call her a character actress now um but yeah, fantastic. Love Ali Shidi. Anthony Michael Hall is great and everything. Judd Nelson, I mean, he's Judd fucking Nelson. And then, like I've already said, Molly Ringwald is a national treasure in my eyes.

I love Molly Ringwald. She's great. And Emilio. Emilio? Yeah, Emilio goes without saying. Emilio. I mean, we talk about how great Emilio is every episode pretty much. Yeah, that's true. It's neither here nor

there. Let's talk Molly. Let's talk Molly Rerun. Let's talk the National Treasure. What did she just recently came back on like the secret life of the American teenager or some shit like that? She was ABC family.

I mean, that's not recently. That was like fucking like 2009. Oh, jeez. She played the mom. Was it really that long? That makes sense. Oh, Jesus. It was for sure when I was in high school and I graduated in 2009.

Well, anyways, I'm old. Looks like she was in Riverdale for a little bit. Okay. Oh, wait. Hold on. Before we get into her, one of my favorite things, too, is when about that looks like she was in riverdale for a little bit okay i love oh wait hold on before we get into her one of my favorite things too is when um ali sheedy's mom almost hits in the kissing booth movies on netflix have you seen those wait hold on did you hear what i said no ali sheedy's mom almost hits bender with her car on his walk into the detention right at the very beginning

did you see yeah ali's parents are yeah i won't say it doesn't honk doesn't do anything anyways all right so molly ringwald she a star of all stars america's sweetheart national treasure she's uh yeah i i fucking love molly ringwald she's uh i i don't like for sure the 80s like the the generation before me for sure and then i feel like my generation as well or maybe this was just me just because i i watched 80s movies and stuff like that yeah maybe other kids my age that don't have that connection won't understand this but molly ringwald was the the first like cool redhead you know oh okay yeah yeah that makes sense yeah like beautiful and yeah she was she was the first like hot redhead you know like you have lucille ball

the best black and white the best redhead of all time but she was more comedian i mean she's a great looking woman but she wasn't like a yeah you know she wasn't like a hot you know whatever smoke show there nobody would yeah yeah exactly where it's like i feel like molly reenrolls see molly reenrolls that was the first like redhead ginger that came up that was like you know i'm cool as shit yeah i'm hot you know so that you know i i have a spoke to you as as a fellow redhead it spoke to me for sure yeah yeah that's why she's a national treasure i mean i i loved her to confirm to confirm your dates here's the secret life of the american teenager was 2008 to 2013. oh wow yikes well time flies when you're not having fun so um life is horrible no i'm kidding it's fine i'm

doing fine but um plays a great character dropped off in the beamer spoiled kind of like rich girl spoiled rich girl oh was she speaking of going back to the lunch scene with her sushi lunch oh yes i love and like the the judd nelson's reaction to her sushi lunch is absolutely classic and like she like gets has the chopsticks out gets the soy sauce ready um it was and uh she really did like such a good job with that that role i love her and then her weird ass dad who's always giving her everything yeah well she said that creeps me out like the scene of her in the car like before she's on when she's on her way to detention yeah he's and the dad's like talking to her in the car that's creeps me out i don't know why i just get bad vibes from that scene yeah i mean well she said that her parents just use her to get back at

each other as they're cruising towards divorce you know and then you know yeah she just went after the rebel like so many nice weird ass neck kiss yeah it's like so many nice girls do ladies love the bad boys yes they do nice guys finish last but you should still be nice you can be a nice guy and a bad boy they're not mutually exclusive well that's true so be a bad boy but be chivalrous yeah a chivalrous bad boy. That's that's modern America right there. That's that's the heat system. Oh, I'm not going to lie.

It is. It is. You know, I wasn't wasn't always the one that you want to take home to your parents. I was always nice. But, you know, I just a little bit of a wild streak through through me i feel you you know sometimes that happens you've been there yeah i do i do i do great with parents parents fucking love me yeah most parents like me too but you know i just like to party brandon you know you were there brandon you were there like on tommy boy yeah yeah yeah rob you were there yeah so yeah i definitely i i definitely would not i would definitely not introduce you to my

parents let's finish i did introduce you to my parents you pulled the wool over their eyes they think like i said they fucking love me great with parents they think you're fine they think you're fine but okay so molly ring was she like my favorite part of hers we talked about a little bit but when she mouths stop when bender is doing the interaction that is one of my favorites um i love that she goes and gets stoned with bender i thought that was super fun but the whole the whole as a whole the the scene where they're dancing is great but her dance moves specifically are fucking fantastic which is like dancing on the staircase

yeah yeah that that is a great call out brandon i forgot to put that in my notes her like her little shake thing like with the head and stuff that is a move that gets impersonated all the time and on the stairs the location it was amazing that and the three guys when they do their little yeah that gets that gets impersonated all the time too yeah my favorite dance move of all those is the the one that ali sheedy does at the end though when she's like like convulsing and then collapses on the ground yeah love that move uh molly ring wall what a national she doesn't have any special one-liners or anything but like no she's like the sail that guides the movie though she goes on the biggest like moral journey throughout the film i would

say yeah and i feel like she's kind of the glue that kind of gets everyone talking i don't know she she is yes i would i would say i would say not everybody but she definitely is the catalyst for emilio and bender uh judd nelson emilio and judd nelson them kind of coming together yeah um she's kind of the she's the the glue for that kind of relationship um and like i said she kind of goes on the biggest emotional journey yeah um realizing how she's spoiled and how you know the friends that she has aren't necessarily the friends you want to have yeah they don't like her they like the concept of her more yeah exactly whereas like I yeah I feel like she definitely yeah she definitely pulls much of the she goes on the biggest Journey I guess the best way to put that yeah

yeah what was what was the reason she was in detention again I can't remember now Fuck Cause Brian brought the flare gun Um Emilio tape butt cheeks What did Jed Nelson do I don't know if they ever say it He's just always in there Yeah he's just always in there Ally Sheedy

Wasn't supposed to be there she just showed up That's the best I love that when everybody says What they're in it for and then it gets to her and she's like there she just showed up yeah that's the best i love that when when everybody says what they're in for and then it gets to her and she's like oh i i just showed up i didn't i didn't have anything else to do right i think so yeah yeah i i i know we've kind of talked about this scene a little bit too but i also love like when they did the scene where they all like smoke the jays together they didn't do the thing that movies always do and made it like they were like tripping on acid or

mushrooms yeah they weren't like crazy high they were just doing like what happens if you would all smoke a jay of the bobby browns you would just get really giggly and you'd you know laugh a little bit right so and then you spill your soul yeah and then you spill your soul just a little a bit of you know a little bit of giggles good old mary jane yeah it's not like uh well i forget what that movie was that they made back in the 60s of like where but it seems like they're like on acid they They're like, oh, the walls are melting. I smoked weed. You know, I thought that they did a good job of just it's just kids in high school. Yeah. Causing a little mischief.

Cheeky fun. No. Anyways. Okay. So. So, Emilio. Let's hit Emilio now. Let's hit Emilio.

It's time. Andrew Clark. The pride. The. The. The. The letterman. The. America's time. Andrew Clark, the pride, the, the, the, the letterman, the America's boy. Yeah. The winner, the winner of Shermer high school, right? That's what it was.

Yeah. I believe so. Yeah. Shermer high school in Shermer, Illinois. Do you know it's a real place? He no tolerance for losing. He is an athlete. He is a winner.

He has speed. He has dedication. He has power. Coach is an athlete. He is a winner. He has speed. He has dedication. He has power. Coach Riley, bro. Coach Riley. Speaking of the lunch scene, his lunch is right out of the Mama D playbook for an eight-hour lunch. Bag of chips, three sandwiches to slowly graze throughout the day.

I have everything written down for his okay because his lunch was amazing so yes yeah he has four sandwiches that look like i thought it was three damn okay no it's four and they were like turkey or ham or some kind of lunch meat yep um he had a banana yep an apple okay a half gallon of milk j Jesus. Package of cookies. And then an entire bag of chips. Yeah. Amazing. Yeah. Got to bulk up, dude.

Got to bulk up for wrestling season. He must be jumping a weight class. I wonder if he's like, you know, like maybe he's like 118 and they want him to go up and wrestle 125. Something like that for sure. Yeah. He's in. He's in Vulcan mode. Yeah.

Eight hours, that's a long time. I would feel very peckish multiple times throughout that eight hours. I would need snacks. You do a sandwich at the beginning. If he has four sandwiches

over eight hours, you have a sandwich every couple hours. It's just math. You're just grazing throughout the day. But that lunch was something else. I would have shared. If I had four sandwiches, wouldn't you have shared with Judd

Nelson, even though he's being a dick? I got four sandwiches. You can have them. He's got to bulk up, dude. That's how did she desperately needs? don't know brandon maybe like i said maybe it's just me i would have been like dude i got four sandwiches you just told me a story about how your dad beats the shit out of you or no he hasn't yet but like after that story it's like oh your dad beats the shit out of you. You can't eat.

Here's a sandwich. Well, there was nothing in that story about him not being able to eat. Well, I mean, just he didn't get his lunch packed, dude. Like, have some empathy, Brandon. You have four sandwiches. You can share one. I have empathy, but not during bulking season, okay? Okay.

Bulking season or not, you can still get gains with a z on the end with three out of four sandwiches i don't know i don't know all right agree to disagree i don't know how much he's trying i don't know how much how much he's trying to bulk i don't know as as a couple real heavy lifters you know i'm gonna guys that throw some weights around i fucking know about bulking i'm gonna trust his dad because i feel like his dad has this down to a science his dad measured measured every gram of protein that he needed and that's exactly what he got no more no less his dad made coach riley look like a nice guy yeah yeah real real light-hearted coach compared to emilio's dad in this movie you know yeah do you think uh do you think he grows up to be a um a disgraced lawyer

as well with duis andrew yeah for no i don't know he didn't i i don't think it would be a disgraced lawyer it'd be something be something like a disgraced politician. Politician? Yeah, like a state senator. Nothing big, like a local city councilman, like a disgraced city councilman. That's what I see.

Interesting. You don't see that in his future? X-star athlete runs for local city office no because i feel like you got to be in order to run for well i guess i don't know it depends on the city i think different cities have different age requirements right well i'm saying like in the future well yeah but i'm saying he's gonna he's gonna burn out before he gets to the age where he oh gotcha you know i don't know. Bombay was what, 28

when he burned out? Yeah. My buddy Cale is the mayor of Wayne. He's like four years younger than me. Yeah, but you're like 80 years old. I'm 35. I turned 36 in two months.

He's the mayor of what? Wayne America. He's the mayor of Wayne America? You remember Cale. Don't you remember Cale? I remember Cale. Was he the mayor what wayne america he's the mayor of wayne america you remember kale don't you remember kale i remember was he the mayor when i met him yeah oh really yeah yeah he could have gave us a better a better experience during that trip then you know he really really rolled out the red carpet for us well there's not much carpet to get rolled out brandon it's like it's like a mile in diameter maybe a mile and a half down all right wait what were you talking about emilio and okay so emilio is also like the poster boy of like misplaced aggressive anger because he's got an emotionally abusive dad a lot of pressure from the sports and so he misplaces this out towards others and then he also feels like because his

dad is such a psycho and bragging about all the bullying that he used to do Emilio feels like well I'm not living up to the family name because I'm bullying people hard enough. I got to step the bullying up so dad likes me. I also think that's why he was making out in front of him because he's like, hey, dad, watch this, dude. Got a little

fresh makeover here from Molly Ringwald. Watch me slipper the tongue. Ah, Jesus. The whole making out. Shout out on that box. God damn it, Brandon. We should have never watched Buddy Games. That episode was a mistake.

It was a terrible movie, and it just led to it gave me my new catchphrase, which is not good for anybody. That is the worst possible catchphrase for the podcast. There's nothing positive about that catchphrase. So, hold on. Should we make that the official catchphrase of the podcast?

Should I put that on the logo? Like, in quotation marks? Shout out on the box. No. The KQD podcast. Shout out on the box. A quick message from our friends at Broken Forest Collective. Built on a passion for small batch and handcrafted products,

We forgot one Judd Nelson quote that still gets used forever.

It's when he gives him the finger and he's like, can you hear this or do you need me to turn it up? Yeah, he has it upside down and then turn it up. That's amazing. And then back to Emilio, the greatest. The greatest. That still lives on to this day.

He says, two bender, he says, hey, let's throw down. Just me and you. Two hits hits me hitting you and you hitting the floor it's so good and it's it's that it's been parodied by so many uh million movies like i was telling you earlier the the kid rock one is the one i remember the most where and you told me it's workaholics workaholics yeah it is yeah and it's blake right that says it i'm pretty sure yeah i'm pretty sure yeah i'm sure it's like yeah yeah he's like he's trying to pick a fight with somebody at the karaoke and he's like

me and you two hits me hitting you and kid rocks ball with the ball playing in the background classic stuff i love too that he actually takes jed nelson down with some wrestling moves and then jed nelson's like oh, I just don't even, I don't want to get a murder charge. You know, I don't want to fight you. Cause I'll, cause I know I'll kill you. Yeah. You're not worth it. Busts out the knife. Yeah. He, yeah. That's when he busts out the knife and stabs it into the chair.

And then Allison like sneakily leans over and steals it. The other thing that people steal the hoodie the hoodie string scene with bombay when he's born and like he's moving it back and forth that's classic that look too the the the blue uh the blue hoodie that that look has been parodied all the time the blue the nike tank top people steal that all the time. 100%. He looks fucking ripped in this movie too, dude. Legit looks like a wrestler. Young, fit, like Emilio. 100%.

Because he's just a pup in this movie. Yeah. He has that other really great, like the big quote that he has for the movie that's a little more serious. It speaks to people when he's like, we're all pretty bizarre some of us are just better at hiding

yeah ain't that the truth Brandon yeah some of us aren't very good at hiding it not anymore now you just now you can be as bizarre as you want to be and that's nice you know let people be bizarre that's fine

I do feel bad for the kid that he taped his butt cheeks together and that's nice you know let people be bizarre that's fine i do feel bad for the kid that he taped his butt cheeks together though that's fucked up the dude probably had it coming yeah but he's probably asking for what was he wearing okay hold on okay hold on though hold on though so the thing that the issue that I have with it is that they talk about how hairy the kids butt cheeks are. And then he tapes them together. So like, and he talked about it pulled the skin. It ripped some skin off. Yeah.

So like, that stops being funny when he mentions the skin. That like, that's like real bullying. Like, that's fucked up you know like if it would have been like scotch tape and maybe it's just pulling some hairs you know it's like a light waxing okay maybe you're a little funnier but like obviously that was some i'm assuming he uses duct tape did they say that yeah i'm assuming it's duct tape because there's some adhesiveness if it's pulling skin yeah so that was that was kind of sad for emilio's and that's when he talked about like he did it for his old man because he

wanted to you know well then the real number one yeah the real touching part is yeah he goes into he did it because his dad but then he also talks about um like he imagines like how humiliating that'd be for the kid to tell his dad what happened. Yeah. That wasn't. That's where they start pulling the heartstrings. I teared up. Oh, that was like a really nice moment.

Like where you, that, that self-reflection of like the empathy that he shows there of that poor kid. And like, I like when Jed Nelson's like, geez, our dad should go bowling together. That's a fucking psychos. But yeah, and they all just get super baked and then get really emotional

chit-chatting with each other. But Emilio plays the... That's all you need. You're having some differences with people. Just smoke a J about it, dude. I agree. Just fucking legalize it already well i'll just calm down you know no more no world war three you know we'll just have

biden and putin just firing up a jay together that's it you heard it here first folks like let's let's get the cake eaters pod let's get biden you heard it here first we're the first people to say this guys legal first no no no we're the first people to say this guys legal first no no no we're the first people that are going to coordinate a four-person group smoke session it's going to be joe biden i don't know vladimir putin heath and brandon and we're just gonna i don't know if i want to be in i don't't know if I, that's definitely something. World peace is at stake, Brandon world peace. That's not saying I want to be there. Like I would much rather be watching the onslaught of TV.

Let me ask you this before we get too far. If world peace is at stake. Yes. Do you want me in there? All right. That's fine. I will represent the cake eaters podcast for the both of us. You're right.

You would, you would make things so much worse. I would actually bring the piece. All right. So I will be in that room with Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden. We'll get a cross joint. We talked about pineapple express earlier, do a cross joint with the three of us. And then boom, get it.

Let us hot box a room somewhere. And world peace is billowing out of that just like the smoke yeah you heard it here first it's a much better idea than having me it's out it's world peace is at our fingertips just be in the corner talking about chowing boxes we should have never done the buddy games i just the movie sucked It just, it's carrying now carrying over. It's bleeding over into other podcasts. Episodes. A beautiful,

beautiful. It's, it's bleeding over into my life. I'm using that all the time. Now it's like this beautiful breakfast club episode that shows the buddy games movie is like a fucking ring they're the one what's the movie with the video with the crazy girl yeah the ring it's the fucking ring i so i'm gonna tell you i this that phrase is never leaving my lexicon it's gonna be exactly like um like when i was in when

i was in college and i i ironically started saying bro all the time and now i just do it all the time because don't fucking bro me dude don't you dare that's what's gonna happen with with chowing on boxes oh god we're just i'm gonna start cutting you off let me start talking about it just jumping in here do you have anything else to say about emilio otherwise i have one last thing for us to talk about before we rate this on our cake scale. About Emilio specifically? No. I do want to talk about, are we talking about scenes next? But what's your next thing you should talk about?

Well, I mean, we really beat the scenes to death with each of the characters. There's one we haven't talked to. One we haven't talked about, which is the hallway scenes, the running scenes. Oh, yeah. Let's dig into that. Absolute favorite scenes and easy to recreate easy and i i used to recreate those all the time heath you were uh you played basketball competitively right yes so you will know you'll be familiar with this because i played it competitively um all the way up through most of

high school you would go on tournaments or even not necessarily tournaments just whatever you you go play games and you would a lot of times you would play on the weekends yeah yeah in abandoned not abandoned but in in schools that are not being used because it's a saturday yeah and so in in these tournaments you have off time so you go wandering around the school and i used to go wander around the school and i would recreate these these uh chase scenes you know i do the little the one where they're running and they all slip oh they're peeling out running around abandoned schools just trying to fucking you know the burning out i would always try to i would always try to climb up into the vents too but oh it just wait i didn't i didn't get up in the vents

a couple times um wait hold on didn't didn't they have like those little like barricade things to stop you from going into the the closed off parts of the school they had those for us like on most of the schools we went to some of the schools that i i went to had that uh all of them had that for us most of them only had it on like sections. So like there was still like a big part that you can go through and then where you can do some, some burnouts. Yeah.

The cool ones were the ones that didn't have any barriers up. So you just fucking running around the whole thing. Free reign. They didn't, they did not have that. I mean, small town, Nebraska did not trust us.

That shit was on lock and key. Yeah. But that is, that is a super fun one and like i said that is like imitated in a billion different ways too and like cartoons and like all kinds of stuff it's just it's such a it just it just goes back to like it's so realistic it's not crazy shenanigans where they're blowing up half the school they're running and hiding from the principal to try and get back to the library because they ran they wanted to go pick up the weed from the locker you know it's just it's typical that's what you would do that's exactly what would happen yeah 100 whether you're in a big town small town the east coast west coast midwest like that's just in the 80s that's why the movie was so popular that universal truth man as a universal truth

like it everyone had similar but different experiences to that exact thing but that was the last scene i wanted to talk about was the chase scenes because I fucking love those. Those were the best. All right. Before we do our cake ratings, we have to talk about the lead track for this movie. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, yeah, this one is specifically, but then again, going back to all of John Hughes, all of the movies. The killer fucking soundtracks yeah uh song by i had to look up the song really quick because i was like jesus i know i'm a fucking amateur but song by the simple minds don't you forget about me and did you did you have class songs in wayne america did you guys do like did you just pick like a class song i if we did i can't remember we always did like prom songs right like i don't know

like we'd always do like a theme song for the prom theme that was just like a you know like we we didn't do theme song we all our proms had like themes but we never had like a song for it we didn't have theme would be based off of the theme song yeah we did have a class song though everybody voted on a class song okay um like right before graduation to be like our song and don't you forget about me was was my class song like vitamin c came out too much of my sugar so see vitamin c was one of the was one of the ones that everybody was rich or uh voting for yeah that was my senior year what's the green day one that's about uh like breaking up with somebody but everybody thinks it's like a nice goodbye yeah that's i keep wanting to say time is it time of

your life yeah yeah i don't know if that's the name of the song but that's the yeah the lyrics yeah um so is that that one uh that was actually my middle school class song. Nice. So Don't You Forget About Me was your high school class song? Yeah. That's not bad. That's not what I wanted, though. I was pulling for, I tried to rally everybody around a different song.

Yeah. Wait, what was the other song? The song that I was going for? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I wanted to do the song weekend warriors by a band called a change of pace tiny little pop punk outfit out of phoenix arizona oh yeah that's uh definitely gonna get your class of yeah there's nobody 100 that's i think it was like five five or six hundred five or yeah class of 500's definitely going to vote for the small outfit from Phoenix. I think I got seven votes.

Nice. And all seven were for me. Nice. Okay. Stuff in the ballot box. So this song means something to you. Yeah. Wow.

I mean, it means something to me because the breakfast club i don't give a shit about my class song well it means that you lost it oh yeah i do i do love this it was an uphill battle okay you know i was fighting the system yeah damn the man yeah trying to trying to pull off the underdog story and just got crushed just wasn't wasn't wasn't there for capitalism yeah that's that's how i mean i love i love this song i always say this to kelly every time like we leave somewhere and like or if one of us go we work together and live together and so like sometimes we'll be like okay i'm gonna i'm gonna go back to nebraska for a week by myself just so we can have some space to miss each other that's but then when we leave i was like hey don't you forget about me and that's nice you know that means a lot this song i feel like had a resurgence too because it pitched perfect

yep you know when they did that whole uh that was like the final also one of their their final songs and then then Anna Kendrick does the Judd Nelson fist at the end and she hits everyone with some la la la laws at the end. Yeah. Yeah.

I like Pitch Perfect. I think they're great. Yeah, I enjoyed them. I liked them. They're solid you know i'm not a huge acapella fan but i enjoyed those movies they were nice i liked them you know the sing-off did you speaking of hating acapella did you ever watch the sing-off it was an acapella show with uh one of the boys to men guys ben folds and one of the pussycat dolls really okay i never watched that i do love ben folds though ben full of bucks oh my god listen that show was awesome and it was like a you would have maybe liked it because it was like a real music show

right so like ben folds would be like hey you know like we had it really nice from the tenors but like the bass was really soft throughout the time so like if that's heavier we get a fuller rounder sound but because that bass wasn't up there where we needed it to be it fell a little flat in the performance and yeah i liked it you know this is a great ben folds impression by the way well thank you thank you spot spot on ben folds uh no what was it what was it called the sing-off the sing-off i'll have to i'll have to i assume it's on on one of the streaming services i mean no no it was from like 2009 2008 nbc yeah oh it's on Peacock for sure, I guarantee you. Yeah, it might be on Peacock. It's definitely on YouTube. There's the Whiffin' Poofs sing.

The Whiffin' Poofs. Yeah, the Whiffin' Poofs. It's like some famous group from Yale, but they sing Grace Kelly, and it is dynamite. That's where Pentatonix came from. Remember? Do you know the Pentatonix? They have some fire Christmas albums. That's where I get some Christmas music going

during the holidays. I don't really care for Pentatonix. That's where they came from was the sing-off. It's an acapella singing competition that's about 10 years old. I just don't. Do they do their own music ever or is it all

maybe i don't know that's the only thing with acapella right you don't get too many original tracks yeah like that's what you know that's what i that's what i want like i i i get you can you know you can cover fucking nicki minaj or whatever but that's right that's when it's fun like when write your own fucking song, bro. When they do acapella versions of fun songs, I like that. Listen, Brandon, don't hate. I'm going to come out with a

Heath spoken word rap album and you're going to eat your words. Okay. You're going to eat your words. Super Nintendo Sega Genesis. When I was dead broke man i couldn't picture this 50 inch screen money green leather sofa got two rides a limousine with the chauffeur well notorious big from juicy you gotta tighten up your flow just a little bit there oh sorry

this is a little loose on the flow. Well, yeah, you're a little offbeat for a couple Well, I wasn't supposed to be on on. There's not supposed to be a beat. It's spoken word. I'm just speaking the words into the universe. If you're doing spoken word poetry, there's still a fucking beat.

I was just trying to bother you. They call it beat poetry, Keith, because there's a fucking beat Give me the beat Like Paul Abdul You know what I'm talking about I am excited For your spoken word album though

Let me know if you have any Requests right now I'm like You know you just juicy that definitely Nothing but a G thing for sure Probably have to throw an know if you have any requests right now i'm like you know you just juicy that definitely nothing but a g thing for sure probably have to throw an eminem song in there what about some coolio what about gangster's paradise oh my god don't even get me of course i loved dangerous so i think we've talked about this in in length before but like big mike loves movies and so we always had like showtime and hbo and i had no parental controls and so we would just watch dangerous minds together and i was in third grade

and i was like this movie is great uh you know michelle pfeiffer fucking genius it's what it wouldn't act as in third grade i just had no idea i just thought that's how i never as long as as long as i didn't repeat the words i could watch whatever i wanted yeah see my my dad was my dad it's a huge movie guy too and he's the same way i like i had zero parental control i i don't think i ever had an ounce of parental control throughout my childhood which oh geez i had tons of parental control i had zero which explains a lot okay um that's the difference between you and i brandon i only had no parental control for music and tv lots for everything else i i my house is the wild fucking west

anything goes as long as you came back in the morning good just just keep breathing that's all we need um but yeah yeah so i like i like i like i think i mentioned whenever we talked about varsity blues like i saw that when it came out when i was like six years old like no no business watching varsity blues i saw jaws when i was in like you know first grade yeah you know i was just like yeah absolutely you learned a lot about life you learned a lot about life anyways all right what were we talking about the amazing amazing beginning and end track with the don't you forget about me and then the the classic fucking freeze frame yeah the freeze frame the the the fist pumping into the air after he got the earring from molly molly you know and just ah what a

coming of age story with these youths it's so good we all grew up like I like I mentioned at the beginning like this is one of my favorite movies of all time and I consistently every time I go like a long time without watching it I forget just how good it is you know it's always it's just i don't think they're other than now looking back at it with you know uh you know like a 2022 mindset um cleaning up some of some of bender's you know misogyny and and sexual harassment um his approach to his approach to his pursuit of claire if we could we'd tighten that up a little bit yeah we got cold other than that though not much i would change all right so speaking of your feelings towards this movie how many cakes are we rating this out of one to one to five cakes

i was reflecting on my cakes rating for heavyweights and i think i went a little heavy with the cake on that one okay um sorry that was that was cheesy and terrible but i did i did i did like i feel like i think i did four right or four point something out of five and four out of five and i feel like that might have been a little too much it's probably like more like you can't you can't take it I'm just saying I'm just saying it's it's probably a little heavy this one in the cake is lower I know it's etched in the cake is lower but I

would say this one is probably right there with heavyweights as if I should have ranked heavyweights like a 385 to be honest but so I'm gonna go 3.95 cakes out of five for her 3.95 yeah 3.95 cakes out of four for breakfast club breakfast club i'm gonna go 4.35 okay that's a good score. That's a nice score.

It's a great movie. It's not one of my favorites of all time, but I will always like, if it's, if it's like you're watching cable and you see that it's on and you don't want to flip anymore, like you just park it at breakfast club. You know what I mean? It's one of those movies.

Don't need anything else. Yep. You just doesn't matter what part of the movie it's in. You're just like, Oh shit. Okay. Breakfast club. Let me just, let me just pop this bad boy on. Yeah. don't need anything else yep you just doesn't matter what part of the movie it's in you're just like oh shit okay breakfast club let me just let me just pop this bad boy on yeah exactly like you know like oh it's the end let me just i'll just hang around for the for the fist pump at the end like it's worth it oh it's absolutely fist pump is all you need yeah yeah so so anyways that's solid cake ratings so yeah so i you gave con air 3.85 and then i gave him i gave con air to 3.6 i am always gonna be generous on my cake

ratings like i when i used to have to do annual reviews except for buddy games that was not generous at all no No, Buddy Games. Negative five out of five, right? Listen, no, I ended up going negative three, I think. But, like, dude, fuck Buddy Games. Don't even get me started. That colossal waste of my fucking Saturday afternoon. We got the sick-ass fucking catchphrase out of it, though.

No, that's not a sick-ass catchphrase, Brandon. That's not something that I want. Like, I'm not excited about that being brought into the cake eater's pod it's it's not only is it brought into the cake eater's pod it's in my life it's it's something that we can no longer remove and i don't know how i feel about that i'm telling you it's going to be exactly like what i did with bro where i started saying it ironically and then it just it just got stuck in my my vocabulary and it's like forever I just I can't I can't even as the youths would say Brandon I cannot even thanks for listening everyone please remember to follow and like us on Instagram at The Cake
