While there are a number of amazing '80s teen movies we could easily swoon over, John Hughes' 1985 classic The Breakfast Club is the most quintessentially '80s of 'em all. It's strange that a straight-forward movie about five students serving Saturday detention together could become such a powerful and beloved calling card of a place and time, and yet, The Breakfast Club remains a beacon to Gen X-ers (and their kids) to this day. So let's spend some time talking about the Brain, the Athlete, the Basketcase, the Princess, and the Criminal, shall we?

I've been waiting a long time for this episode of Knockback! One of my favorite films of all time. One of the few I can recite every single line of dialogue in the film after watching it tirelessly as a child till now. Can't wait to listen to this!

Hey Colin , have a suggestion for a topic i think you and dagen would be great for but not sure if this is the right place to post but have just recently finished a book called sega wars ( sega Vs Nintendo ) and i couldn't help wondering after i finished that book was what you think would of happened if sega did go ahead with collaborating with Sony or even Microsoft for that matter and how you think that would of affected the company's if sega had been involved ?! I would be super interested on both your thoughts on this :-)

Quinn

This was a real treat for me. As a child of the 80's, this movie has always been pretty important. It's pretty reflective of what school felt like in those days. It's kind of bittersweet really, because I was Brian in school, maybe a tiny bit of Allison, but definitely Brian. I understand every feeling and question he has intimately. I look back on the time fondly somehow even though it was full of pain for me. It's weird how that stuff never goes away. You grow and change and mature, but to this day, even though I'm 6'1", 190 lbs. I still feel like that little meek, mousey nerd who is simultaneously invisible and targeted. Anyway, it was an important movie for me because it felt like someone understood what it was like to be a nerd in the 80's, and I couldn't find much understanding in those days. Hell, it's hard to find sometimes even now. I was told the other day that the "Oppressed White Male Nerd" was a myth, and that the things I went through never happened and if they did they were nothing compared to what other "oppressed" people went through. Felt plenty real to me. Thank you Colin and Dagan for taking a deep dive on a film near and dear to my heart. Y'all are awesome.

Man, this one was even better than I hoped it would be. The deep dive on each character before touching on the movie at all was a great choice. Damn, Colin, I can’t wait for this high school episode now. My favorite part of this was when you were telling stories from the past. I love retro entertainment and the like, but hearing you and Dagan talk about yourselves was something special. Looking forward to more! Hope you’re enjoying your vacation.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad this episode resonated with you. It's funny (I guess?) how we can't let go of our past, especially the painful parts.

Will Hahn

This episode is definitely one of my favorites! I love that Dagan added the “running lines” segment! It was so awesome to hear you two reading those lines, and it was quite hilarious! Please, enjoy your vacation, Colin. You deserve it! :)

Jorge Pal

This was awesome! Made my trip back to Miami from Orlando so much easier, lots of laughs! Hah! Thank you! Hope you’re enjoying your vacation!

John Hughes is a legend. I also love how his movies take place in the Chicago suburbs. They're all kind of sweet love letters to the place he grew up.

Brett Medlock

Sometimes it sucks not fully understanding things the same as you guys. (Cause I was born in 92 lol)

Well, this podcast is all about bringing you into those stories. I truly believe KnockBack is for everyone.

Richard Kikuchi

Hey man, did you know that Carl is seen in the trophy case? He was Man of the Year in the sixties

Colin Moriarty

It’s me, the guy who hasn’t seen the movie but listened to the episode.
