SSNP #269 | "The Breakfast Club" and Can We Let Black Films "Black" in Peace? (feat. @CDubbTheHost & @strawberrysmirk) | #SaySomethingNew

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.
