The Breakfast Club wasn’t just a teen movie—it was a mirror.

For many Gen X kids, it was the first time a movie admitted that adults didn’t always understand us, institutions didn’t always protect us, and labels didn’t tell the whole story.

In this livestream, I look back at The Breakfast Club and explore:

  • Why it resonated so deeply with Gen X
  • How it quietly challenged authority without being rebellious
  • Why its message still matters decades later

This isn’t a movie review—it’s a cultural autopsy.

Because sometimes the stories that raised us told the truth before anyone else did.
