What a film we have for you today! This week class is in session as Paul and I discuss the teen movie classic, 'The Breakfast Club'. 

Jamie, Jimmy and Bob punch a clown and make giant pancakes while they discuss the John Hughes script to the John Candy classic Uncle Buck.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines about Travis Kelce's rumored Pfizer payday and Trump's unusual comments on autism in Cuba. The discussion quickly shifts to Kamala Harris' media tour, her new book 107 Days, and the contradictions in her remarks about Pete Buttigieg. The conversation broadens into her attacks on Trump, her rambling appearance on The View, and commentary on Antifa protests in Oregon, the ineffectiveness of activist theatrics, and the absurdity of civil unrest. Midway through, the hosts pivot into pop culture, debating the highs and lows of '80s and '90s cinema, John Hughes' teen classics, Eddie Murphy's career arc, and the lasting impact of Terminator 2, Mortal Kombat, and early video game movies. Halloween traditions come next, with a spirited push for better neighborhood participation, nostalgic ads, and the idea of reviving block parties. Later, the show examines Texas A&M's hazing scandal, shares stories of reckless youth, and dives into wild hotel tales that segue into conspiracy theories about Michael Jackson, Prince, and the music industry. The discussion rounds out with gangster rap history, Suge Knight's notorious reputation, and a “Half-Assed Top Ten” of banned TV shows. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the origin story of Michael Myers, the slasher killer from the legendary Halloween series of horror films, young Michael sees his sister….. Wait, what? Oh, this is Dennis the Menace? In which a little slingshot punk from the 1950s rides around on a tricycle in 1993 and torments an innocent old man? And you're telling me it's not about Michael Myers, it was just directed by the man who originally played Michael Myers in John Carpenter's Halloween (Nick “The Shape” Castle)? Gotcha. I see where the confusion started. Unregardless, here is our long-awaited discussion of the 1993 Dennis the Menace starring Walter Mathau as Mr. Wilson and Christopher Lloyd as a hobo killer who rides the rails and skins children alive, even though we never get to actually see that. And this was written and produced by John Hughes, during his “Let's just do Home Alone again and again and again” period. Laci loves it, Matt does not, so this is the two-hour therapy session that results.   Next week: Our October Extravaganza begins with Interview with the Vampire (1994)!    Bonus video: Matt and Laci reveal their blindspots from the IMBD Top 250 movies of all time list - https://youtube.com/shorts/_wTbG4t4NEo    Out now on the Patreon: Matt, Wade, and Patrick dive deep into Nickelodeon's Doug, discussing its history and reviewing the episodes “Doug Can't Dance” and “Doug's Garage Band.” https://bit.ly/3KdBuvg    Time stamps: 00:03:15 — We read this week's Dennis the Menace newspaper comics 00:11:08 — Opening thoughts on Dennis the Menace (the movie) 00:17:30 — History segment: The Dennis the Menace comic strip created by Hank Ketcham and its long afterlife; the 1950s Dennis the Menace sitcom; the production of the 1993 movie and John Hughes's pivot to cranking out family movies with very similar premises 00:39:45 — Movie discussion 02:00:20 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Source: "Dennis the Menace and ADHD" by Matthew Smith | Psychology Today (2018) - https://bit.ly/4niObDH   Artwork by Laci Roth.   Music by Rural Route Nine.

"Bring us a pitcher of beer every seven minutes until somebody passes out. And then bring one every ten minutes."On today's episode, we're wrapping up our month of Back To School, by covering the literal 80s college comedy starring Rodney Dangerfield, Back to School (1986). This movie came out in the era of the John Hughes teen films, but is ultimately dealing with the pressures that come with wanting to be different than your parents and trying to reinvent yourself in a new place. This film also has an interesting connection to the band Sum 41, which we'll talk more about.. you don't want to miss it :)Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan Boyle----Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two of the game's top instructors, each bringing their own brand of expertise, innovation, and insight to help us all play better and enjoy the game more. First, PGA Master Professional John Hughes returns for his 6th appearance. As a Master Professional, John is in the top 1.5% of all PGA Professionals. He's also a Top 25 Instructor with Golf Tips Magazine, and the 2023 North Florida PGA Section Teacher of the Year. He shares a preview of his soon-to-be-released book, Instant Golf Improvement: The 6 Pillars to Golf Success, which offers a realistic path to better golf without overhauling your swing. John also gives us valuable tips on target acquisition, proper driver stance, handling uneven lies, improving launch angle and spin rates, sharpening our chipping technique, and eliminating costly three-putts. Then, my gumba Rob Strano stops by. Rob is one of the most creative teachers in the game, the former host of The Golf Kingdom TV show, and his new Golf Academy is now open in Destin, Florida. Rob shares his candid thoughts on how to truly fix the FedEx Cup format, if the PGA Tour needs a playoff system at all, and what he's most looking forward to about the Ryder Cup. Rob gives us a look at the innovative tools and training available at his new academy. It's an episode packed with playing lessons, fresh ideas, and insights from two of the best minds in golf instruction.

On today's episode, we dive into one of John Hughes' more bizarre teen comedies. This movie is THE definition of an adolescent boy's fantasy.   We dive deep scene by scene and ask the important questions like, what the fuck were they thinking?  Is Bill Paxton the best part of the movie?  Did you spit in this? And can you believe what they thought the internet was back in the 80s?

What'sa happenin' hot stuff? Bob, Brad, Carla and Mark are back to discuss one of our favorite movies, John Hughes' first feature film, Sixteen Candles.

Join Dana Buckler and David Klein for an in-depth discussion about the iconic 1989 black comedy, Heathers. We go beyond the croquet mallets and shoulder pads to explore the film's cynical look at high school cliques and social hierarchies.In this episode, we unpack: The brilliant performances from Winona Ryder as Veronica and Christian Slater as the chaotic J.D. How Heathers subverted the popular John Hughes teen movie formula of the era. The film's timeless themes of bullying, teenage angst, and suicide. Why this dark, controversial film has endured as a cult classic for over 30 years. If you're a fan of 80s movies, cult classics, or cinematic satire, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a fresh take on a truly unforgettable film.

Starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Annie Potts, Harry Dean Stanton, and James Spader. Written by John Hughes. Directed by Howard Deutch.

Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to have a bracket-style debate on who is the most gangsta of all the characters in the 1986 American teen comedy film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, written and directed by John Hughes and starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara and Alan Ruck. This side-splitting conversation gets heated over matchups like Mr. Bueller vs. Mrs. Bueller or Grace the Secretary vs. Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago. The deep consideration of every character is equally thoughtful and hilarious - who do you have as the most G in this film? Let us know!!! Hosted on Acast.

Before Hollywood, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Uncle Buck, and Splash, John Candy was the heart of SCTV and Toronto's Second City. Paul Myers, author of John Candy: His Life in Comedy, shares Candy's comedic rise alongside Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Dan Aykroyd, and Joe Flaherty—and his iconic collaborations with John Hughes and Steve Martin. Paul also reveals how his brother, Mike Myers, met Candy as a teen—and how Candy encouraged him to start his comedy journey at Second City. Candy's influence didn't stop at comedy: he even partnered with hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to buy the Toronto Argonauts football team. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to spend a Saturday in detention watching John Hughes's 1985 classic, The Breakfast Club. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Right? This week, Josh, Garrett, and David revisit Shermer High School to see if this quintessential Brat Pack film still connects in 2025. We break down the iconic character archetypes we related to then and now, the surprisingly well-written scenes that pack an emotional punch , and the parts that are... well, more problematic than we remembered. From Bender's aggressive "flirting" to the vice principal's shocking $31,000 salary, we explore what has and hasn't aged well.Does this coming-of-age touchstone still earn its classic status, or have we grown up and apart from it? Let us know your take, and don't forget to subscribe and leave us a five-star review (or four, so we have something to work toward! ).

Corinthians ran in six tries to get off to the perfect start in the Bank of Ireland Connacht Senior League in Dubarry Park on Thursday evening (28th August 2025).

Afterwards, Corinthians head coach Ambrose Conboy chatted to Galway Bay FM's John Mulligan. == Next up is Galwegians hosting Sligo on Saturday (30th August 2025).  Kick-off at Crowley Park is 2pm. The Galway city derby between Corinthians and Galwegians will take place in Corinthian Park next Friday (5th September) at 8pm.

It's a SPICY intro to our back-to-school celebration! Zac and Lindsey join the show to discuss the John Hughes 80's classic "The Breakfast Club!" Now 100% more disagreement from Seanan!

Back on this day in 2009 screenwriter and director John Hughes passed away. He gave us many classics including, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "The Breakfast Club", "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", and "Home Alone". KTAR Timeline is brought to you by Beatitudes Campus. 

On August 6, 2009, John Hughes — the filmmaker whose heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply human stories captured the soul of American adolescence — died suddenly of a heart attack while taking a morning walk in Manhattan at the age of 59. With classics like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles, he turned teen angst and suburban life into timeless art. As a writer and producer, he shaped pop culture with hits like Pretty in Pink and Home Alone, leaving behind stories filled with sincerity, wit, and the kind of truth that still resonates decades later.

In the late '80s, John Candy's hit a rough patch with a string of underwhelming films—Hot to Trot, Speed Zone, and Who's Harry Crumb.

Blamison are back with a totally unchill discussion of 1991's John Hughes-written Target ad Career Opportunities starring Jennifer Connelly (be still Jamison's heart) and Frank Whaley. There are several aspects of the film that would have made for a great film, but, alas, it all comes to, well, not much. Meet-cute beats out capitalist satire by the end of the film. Other things discussed: how work sucks, parenting wily children and the Mulroney brothers.Clip: "K-Strass the yo-yo man on KQTV in St. Joseph, Missouri." on Youtube.

Today we are REPLAYING this episode because it's summer break and once again, we're wondering if this is when our boobs finally come in. Summer is never the John Hughes dream sequence we hope for, we're just hoping for surviving with our dignity.

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land. This one sticks.RELATED LINKSPinky Swear FoundationThe Mastectomy I Always Wanted (Book)Erica on LinkedInThink & Link: Erica Campbell“Like the Tale of a Starfish” - Blog Post“Cancer Diagnosis, Messy Life, Financial Support” - Blog PostFEEDBACKLike this episode?
