SSNP 269 | The Breakfast Club and Can We Let Black Films Black in Peace?

Even as "The Breakfast Club" becomes old enough to have kids of its own in high school, John Hughes' seminal film about Saturday detention still has a strong influence over comedy-drama films about teens and young adults. But why did it take so long for us to get Black entertainment like "grown-ish" and "Insecure" in the same vein? The SSN Crew is joined by special guests Carolyn from The C-Dubb Show and Amelia to discuss "The Breakfast Club" and "Riverdale's" recent tribute episode to it, the upcoming Disney+ streaming service, Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace" film getting a release, OWN's "Chad Loves Michelle," how Warner Bros. can keep their "Jonny Quest" movie from being racist, and more.
