The Breakfast Club: Were They Brats?

The latest episode of the Pine Tree Picture Show dives headfirst into one of the most iconic teen films of all time: The Breakfast Club (1985). Directed by John Hughes and starring five of the biggest young names of the ‘80s—Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall, and fellow Mainer, Judd Nelson. 

The group has been known as part of the Brat Pack, but how did that name come to be and who was actually in the pack? Did they deserve the title of brats? Why didn't the ensemble continue to work together? All that and more on this new episode of the show!
