📅 Originally aired: May 10, 2019
🎧 Re-released: April 11, 2025

Description:
It’s Throwback Thursday time! This week, we're rewinding to a special in-person crossover episode recorded with my good friend Lizzie Newton, originally released in 2019. Lizzie and I teamed up for a nostalgic deep dive into one of the most iconic Gen X films of all time—The Breakfast Club.

But before we get to detention with the Brat Pack, I reveal the long-awaited results of our Phil Collins March Madness tournament! Sixteen songs entered... one classic emerged victorious. Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? 🥁

Then, we kick things off with concert stories—Rubix Kube for me, Cher for Lizzie—before diving into the movie that defined a generation. Believe it or not, this was Lizzie’s first time watching The Breakfast Club, and her fresh take alongside my nostalgic memories made for an awesome conversation.

Whether you’re a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, or a criminal—you’re gonna love this one.

In this episode:

• 🏆 Phil Collins March Madness – Full bracket breakdown & the winning song

• 🎤 Concert talk: Rubix Kube (Paul) & Cher (Lizzie)

• 🎬 The Breakfast Club – first impressions, favorite moments, and what it still teaches us today

• 🧠 Why the characters (and archetypes) still resonate with us decades later
