We all have that one movie from the '80s. Maybe yours is Back to the Future. Maybe it's The Breakfast Club, The Goonies or Say Anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be the greatest movie ever made. It just has to be the movie that found you at exactly the right time and somehow never let go. For Steve, that movie has always been Streets of Fire. Walter Hill's 1984 “rock & roll fable” gave us a strange and wonderful world of neon streets, roaring motorcycles, pounding music, Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Amy Madigan and a very young Willem Dafoe in one of the more memorable pairs of overalls in cinematic history. It wasn't a box-office hit. It never became the franchise its creators once envisioned. But Streets of Fire found its audience over the years, becoming a cult favorite with a visual style and soundtrack that remain unmistakable more than four decades later. This week, we're opening the Stuck in the '80s archives and traveling back 15 years to revisit our original tribute to Streets of Fire, first released in 2011. And after you've taken that trip back with us, maybe ask yourself: What was your special movie of the '80s?

Daniel and Harry are stuck in detention with Rachel Israel, director of The Floaters, so they figured they might as well record a podcast about the 1985 film The Breakfast Club, written and directed by John Hughes.Together, they revisit the iconic coming-of-age classic and its five high-school stereotypes—the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal—and ask whether those labels really tell us anything about who we are. They discuss the film's surprisingly earnest exploration of identity, friendship, family and parental pressure, why its 95-minute running time feels almost radical today, and how The Breakfast Club paved the way for generations of teen movies to come.They dig into the film's unexpected Jewish connections—from synchronized dancing and Jewish joy to the idea of detention as a kind of Shabbat or synagogue experience. They also discuss Rachel's own film The Floaters, Jewish summer camp, and the influence The Breakfast Club had on her filmmaking.Plus, it's our favorite question: How Jewish is The Breakfast Club? The answer may involve a little creative stretching—but that's never stopped us before.Rachel's LinksCheck out The Floaters in a city near youConnect with Jews on Film online:Jews on Film Merch - https://jews-on-film.printify.me/productsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

If you could go back and spend four years at any fictional high school from the '80s, where would you enroll? Would you hang out with Spicoli at Ridgemont High? Serve Saturday detention with the Breakfast Club at Shermer High? Shoot hoops for Hickory? Learn the African Anteater Ritual at Crandall High? Or maybe you'd choose a school where there's absolutely no chance of being murdered by your classmates or attacked in your dreams. This week on Stuck in the '80s, Steve and Brad are going back to school as we pick the fictional high schools of the 1980s we'd most like to attend — and the ones we'd avoid at all costs. There are plenty of tempting choices. There's Weemawee High from Square Pegs, where being popular might be difficult but there's always the possibility you'll score an invitation to Buffy's bar mitzvah and see Devo perform. There's Ridgemont High from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which was also the overwhelming favorite among our listeners. Sure, you might have to survive Mr. Hand's history class, but apparently you can have pizza delivered to class, visit a morgue on a field trip and spend the rest of your free time hanging around the mall. Then there's Hickory High from Hoosiers, where school spirit is off the charts and the enrollment is small enough that we might actually have a chance of making the basketball team. We also consider Rydell High from Grease 2, Crandall High from Can't Buy Me Love, Edwina Pearl High from Just One of the Guys and, of course, Shermer High, the center of the John Hughes universe. Shermer seems pretty appealing. Affluent Chicago suburb. Good education. Great house parties. Interesting classmates. Just don't get Saturday detention. Of course, not every fictional '80s high school belongs on the recruiting brochure. We'd probably skip Ampipe High from All the Right Moves unless we're particularly excited about a future at the local steel mill. We're definitely staying away from Beaumont High from Footloose, where dancing is illegal and nearly every adult seems determined to make teenagers miserable. Then there's Westerburg High from Heathers, where the murder rate alone should probably affect its U.S. News ranking. And we're absolutely not enrolling at Springwood High from A Nightmare on Elm Street. Any school where falling asleep during algebra can result in your gruesome death is an immediate dealbreaker. Bunker Hill Military Academy from Taps isn't looking much better. It's about to close, the townies hate you and there's a reasonable chance Timothy Hutton is going to get everyone killed. Otherwise, lovely campus. We also share your picks, including votes for the schools from Square Pegs, Better Off Dead, Summer School, Three O'Clock High and the John Hughes movies. But Ridgemont? Ridgemont wins by a landslide. The High School Class We Wish We'd Had We also have a special interview this week with Todd Shriver and Shawn Curtis, two Indiana high school teachers who have somehow managed to create what might be our dream job. They teach a class about the 1980s. Todd and Shawn tell us how the class came about, what parts of the decade they cover and what today's high school students think about the music, movies, history and pop culture their parents grew up with. Even better, they've managed to bring the decade to life through an impressive collection of interviews with '80s celebrities. Which leaves Steve with only one question: Where does he submit his résumé? Why We Never Really Forget High School There's a reason high school remains such a powerful setting for the movies and TV shows we grew up with. Those four years are when many of us first started dreaming about who we might someday become. It's where we found our people. Where many of us fell in love for the first time — and discovered heartbreak for the first time, too. It's where we were challenged academically, personally and sometimes morally. We made good decisions. We made terrible decisions. And somehow all of those experiences became little pieces of the adults we eventually turned into. And then there's the soundtrack. The songs and movies we discovered during high school never really leave us. Forty years later, one song can come on and suddenly you're not sitting in traffic anymore. You're 17 again. You're driving somebody's terrible first car. You're thinking about someone you had a crush on. You're remembering some completely ordinary Friday night that you had no idea you'd still be thinking about decades later. For four years, we were becoming ourselves. We just didn't know it yet. And if you were lucky enough to go to high school in the '80s, at least you had one hell of a soundtrack while you figured it out. Join Us on The '80s Cruise! Want to take your love of the '80s out of the classroom and onto the high seas? Join Stuck in the '80s on The '80s Cruise, where we'll once again be sailing with an incredible lineup of '80s artists and thousands of fellow fans of the decade. We'll be there hosting trivia, recording podcasts and enjoying a week when it's perfectly acceptable to dress like it's still 1985.

Send us Fan MailBreakfast Club Controversy: Did They Go Too Far?John Louden takes on a difficult conversation about The Breakfast Club, Saucy Santana, Black culture, media responsibility, children, and the future of the Black family.As a longtime supporter of The Breakfast Club, John explains why he believes culturally influential platforms should be open to criticism when audiences disagree with the messages and personalities they elevate.But this episode becomes much bigger than one guest.John discusses fatherhood, marriage, masculinity, protecting children from sexualized content, gangster and drug culture, glorifying prison, education, financial responsibility, physical health, community leadership, and why dysfunction often receives more attention than discipline.He also challenges Black men to become healthier, stronger husbands, fathers, mentors, tradesmen, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, and community builders.And before it's over, the conversation turns toward faith and gratitude: some of the responsibilities we complain about are blessings somebody else is praying to have.This is a passionate, uncensored Concrete Genius conversation about culture, accountability, family, faith, responsibility, and what we're leaving for the next generation.
Lisa Dent checks in with the newsroom to hear their stories including a potential sequel to the John Hughes film, The Breakfast Club, a new memoir regarding the members of Tears for Fears, and the four things to avoid in the evening to lower the risk of a stroke.

What do you do when you've worked hard, done everything you know to do, and still come up empty? Drawing from John 21, Cam Reynolds reflects on the disciples' fruitless night of fishing and the moment they discovered that lasting fruit comes not from competence or effort, but from listening to and depending on Jesus. He highlights how Christ met Peter at the place of his failure with grace, provision, and restoration, showing that our identity is rooted first in loving Jesus, not proving ourselves. Whether carrying disappointment, regret, or exhaustion, listeners are invited to come to Christ, receive what He provides, and follow Him faithfully without comparing their journey to anyone else's.
Back on this day in 2009, John Hughes passed away. He was best known for classics such as "The Breakfast Club" and "Home Alone".

Summary: Before Jess Hilarious ever had dreams of telling jokes in front of sold-out arenas across the country, being featured on Wild-’n-Out, or becoming a cohost on The Breakfast Club, Jess dreamt of marrying her high school sweetheart and raising a family together in their hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. In hopes that having her partner’s child would solidify this outcome, Jess became pregnant at nineteen but begrudgingly learned that the vision she had for her life—as a wife and mother—would have to be reimagined.After multiple attempts at a relationship between her and her son’s father failed, Jess accepted that, while they would never get married, they were forever linked by the lifetime commitment of raising a child together. With her trademark wit and perspective, Jess shares her experiences with valuable and vulnerable insight for coparents who struggle with what it means to put their children first while protecting them from the ups and downs of adult relationships. ’Til Death Do We Parent is an inspirational journey to coparenting with ease and humor. ---------------------------------------- Connect With Us: @GoodMoms_BadChoices @TheGoodVibeRetreat @Good.GoodMedia @WatchErica See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PE GUY turned a Snapchat filter into millions of views and a seven-figure business. Host Devin Mathews (a real PE guy) conducts due diligence on Johnny Hilbrant Partridge's background, business model, and the wealthy towns he's taking on next. We sat down with Johnny in PE GUY's natural habitat -- a Winnetka, IL pool house to figure out how a goofy internet character became an oddly accurate and honest mirror of the private equity industry. Johnny grew up in Winnetka and now lives in Wellesley (two classic PE Guy towns). He went to New Trier (the affluent North Shore high school that inspired "Breakfast Club"), played water polo at the University of Denver, worked for the Ellen Degeneres Show, and the PE-backed Barry's, and Soul Cycle before creating the viral character. What started out as an Instagram reel to make his friends laugh is now generating millions of views from more than 500,000 followers. We go deep into the PE GUY universe. Catchphrases like "decent," "substantial," "due to my role," plus his three kids named Tarantino, Montauk, and EBITDA. Not to mention Wifey and Nanny's #1, #2, and #3. We also break down Johnny's revenue streams: Cameo, brand deals, appearances, and PE GUY swag. Then Johnny puts Devin under the microscope and asks, "Can private equity ever be stopped?"

Pride Month may be over, but we're still here, queer, and full of existential fear. Lez Hang Out Podcast is unfortunately quite an expense to produce and much of our funding comes from our incredible supporters over on Patreon. You can help us keep our little indie pod afloat for another season by joining our Patreon family at the $5/month tier or higher and unlock our growing library of full-length ad-free bonus episodes, ad-free weekly episodes, mp3 downloads of all our original songs, exclusive Discord access to hang out with us, and more! Get an automatic discount on your membership by selecting an annual subscription at checkout. You can also support the pod by shopping small at bit.ly/lezmerch & picking up our Lez-ssentials songs on Bandcamp. Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is coming to you live from detention. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with the co-founders of The Curve Foundation (@curvefdn), Franco Stevens (@frankostevens), the founder of Curve Magazine (@curvemag), and wife, filmmaker Jen Rainin (@franklyspeakingfilms), and talk about why the Disney Channel Original Movie, Lemonade Mouth, Should've Been Gay. With Hayley Kiyoko's directorial debut, Girls Like Girls, currently playing in theaters, we thought it would be fun to take a trip back to 2011 when a young Hayley Kiyoko rocked the stage (and an aggressively asymmetrical bob) as Stella. Lemonade Mouth is actually the first DCOM that Franco and Jen have ever seen! We are delighted to have opened this door for them to the tween-Hallmark Movie experience. But even for a DCOM, Lemonade Mouth is on another level when it comes to being a queerer Breakfast Club with flip-phones. Hayley Kiyoko's lesbian-coded “Stella” isn't even the gayest thing about this movie, and she's literally an anticapitalist vegetarian teenager with a rock band. We know one thing for sure, Lemonade Mouth Should've Been Gay. How do your favorite lesbian movies and tv shows hold up against The Curve Test? Give us your own answers to our Q & Gay on Instagram and follow along on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod. Email us @lezhangoutpod@gmail.com. Connect with us individually: Ellie Brigida (@elliebrigida). Leigh Holmes Foster (@lshfoster). This is our final episode for Season 9. Thank you so much for all of your support.

In honor of Men's Mental Health Month, we're revisiting an episode we've always been proud of from 2022 with Charlamagne tha God (host of the widely popular radio show, The Breakfast Club, bestselling author, philanthropist) as he discusses his journey to discovering his true self apart from his famous radio persona, how CBT therapy taught him to unlearn, and his positive and frightening encounters with the spirit realm. He opens up about his history with panic attacks, the vigilance he developed while selling drugs, and how anxiety can sometimes be his superpower. Charlamagne details growing up Jehovah's Witness, why he believes God is a woman, and the origins of his dark sense of humor. He explains why he uses his authentic, unapologetic voice to touch on touchy subjects especially around mental health gaps in the Black community, including the intergenerational trauma and institutional racism that can prevent minorities from seeking support. Mayim and Charlamagne consider anxiety around returning to our hometowns and bond over their love for Marvel comics and Judy Blume books.Make your summer wardrobe feel easier.
