    I'm 63 years old and I was right in the middle of the Brat Pack years. I've always loved Rob Lowe and I 100% agree, the Brat Pack was cool! I absolutely love "About Last Night"! Rob and Demi were unbelievable in that movie.

    Rob is spot on. The Breakfast Club is the best Brat Pack movie and one of the best of the last 40 or so years.

      Yup and he's right that it easily surpasses all the others in terms of quality. I'm a millennial and it was the first brat pack film I saw. Everything else was downhill from that. Especially sixteen candles and pretty in pink 👎

      Agreed that Judd was amazing in BC, in fact I believe that nobody else could have played that part and you could never do a remake for that reason. Judd was good in St Elmos Fire, but the other work I've seen of his lacked that same magic.

    I just randomly put on The Breakfast Club the other morning and it totally pulled my wife and I into it, it has that power when you have not seen it for some time. And let me add, as a Lions fan who probably has more content to consume than most fanbases, I truly appreciate the entertainment aspect of your interviews Rich. Hearing the interesting backstories of your guests is why I think of you as the Larry King of sports broadcasting. You are a legend sir, and I truly enjoy and appreciate your content. You are one of the few people that can pull me into non-Lions related content, and for that I think you are in your own version of a rat or brat pack. I imagine that we grew up in a similar era, I am 52, and I am used to legends like Cosell, Michaels, Madden, Harwell, and others. I would put you and Dan Miller into my brat pack of sports broadcasters. So, who would you put there with you?

But, then I read the article the guy wrote in which he coined the phrase Brat Pack and AM is only mentioned in one sentence. In any case, I never thought of the phrase in a bad way and I always thought the actors were cool.

    I always associated 'The Brat Pack' as like the kids and grandkids of 'The Rat Pack.' As far as I remember, the brat part never was a derogatory term. To call young children 'little brats' was many times a term of endearment.

    I was in my mid 20's when The Breakfast Club came out. I liked it then. I still like it now. If I have one criticism it's the music soundtrack is dated. With the exception of Simple Minds, it's a bad 80's synth music. I'd say Ferris Bueller's day off is a way better John Hughes movie but technically not a "brat pack movie" I guess?

      I don't think it's awful but I do think it's a little overrated. Hughes is known for writing teenaged characters in a believable way but a lot of it is very pretentious and farfetched. The Breakfast Club was no exception. Aspects of it were very good and the acting in general was solid. But other parts of it, to me, were ridiculous. Even back when I saw it for the first time in 1985.
