00:14:51.680The reason why this movie is so, so, so good, I think, is because...
00:14:59.040None of them knew. They're all in their young 20s. Just graduated university. None of them knew anything. Everything about their lives that they thought had planned or thought had parameters or they thought they had, you know, what they were going to do and how they were going to do it.
00:15:18.100it all gets thrown in the air and they realize that it's all a myth it's all a mirage it's all
00:15:26.660this all of the planning for this track that you're going to take in this world and it throws
00:15:33.520you off in a heartbeat don't think this isn't good for kids to talk about do you know how many
00:15:41.42017 18 year old kids that think that they're supposed to know what they're going to do for
00:15:47.740the rest of their lives do you know what kind of anxiety and law talk about mental health talk
00:15:53.900about anxiety talk about depression talk about all of the mental health things that go along
00:15:58.900with assuming that at 21 22 years old you're supposed to have it all figured out are you
00:16:05.080supposed to and when you don't and you feel so incredibly lost now what now what do you do
00:16:15.420and I like this idea I like the idea and I like the it opening up a door to talk about the fact
00:16:24.300that nobody has it all together then and if they do have it all together trust me it's going to
00:16:29.540fall apart just down the way because figuring out who you are in your early 20s is probably the most0.99
00:16:37.720asinine expectation on the planet. It truly is. I just, I mean, the cast, I mean, this is,0.99
00:16:46.420this is the Brat Pack, right? You got Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson,
00:16:52.700Mare Wingingham, Ali Sheedy, Demi Moore, Andy McDowell. Stop it. Stop it. You can't,
00:16:57.820you can't do better than that. I wish they do a re, maybe they could do a reunion.
00:17:02.300right like what are they all now mid 50s hitting 60 i want to see listen i'm calling it right now
00:17:15.100who did this columbia pictures did columbia pictures exist i want i want a 60 year old
00:17:20.180where are they now all of them do it up everybody would go see that movie columbia every single
00:17:27.460person, Rob 60, great. Every single person would see this movie. And I want to cut.
00:17:35.360Next one, one of my favorites. One of my favorites, it has Michael Douglas and Kathleen
00:17:42.340Turner. I love both of them. There's a scene where they slide down this slide of mud pit
00:17:50.580in Colombia, in Cartagena, when they're trying to find the stone. Come on, guys.
00:17:59.840Romancing the Stone. If you've never seen Romancing the Stone, you have to, have to,
00:18:08.360have to go see it. 1984, it is a fun, amazing adventure movie that makes you laugh through
00:18:17.420the entire thing. Period. This is a great movie. There's also Romancing the Stone 2,
00:18:24.280Jewel of an Isle, I think it's called. Highly enjoyable. Like, forget everything else. It is
00:18:32.020fun to watch. And you know what? Kids can watch it. It's a fun movie that kids can watch. It's
00:18:38.440an action adventure. The banter back and forth is hilarious. Good for everybody. Right there.
00:18:45.880romancing the stone. You ready for left field again?
00:18:53.200Well, guys, my favorite movie in the history of movies,
00:18:59.400oh, of this era, I got the wrong one of these, but I'll do this movie instead.
00:19:10.820what year was this i want to say early 80s i can't see the year i can't see the year
00:19:16.340because i'm too old but it's one that you guys have already guessed
00:19:21.300come on the breakfast club now i'm also intrigued with all of the like heavy like all of the heavy
00:19:29.220criticism this movie is getting right the the idea that everybody is only one thing the idea
00:19:37.700like the the notion that you you're you're put in a category in high school and you never can leave
00:19:43.220that category but the idea that we're all so many things this can talk about diversity and equity
00:19:48.900and identity are you joking me and by the way just because we can condemn this movie or talk about
00:19:56.340the problems with this in the with with this movie doesn't mean the movie still doesn't have value
00:20:03.140because i promise you the things that you're looking at this movie and going oh my god that
00:20:06.980wasn't okay or that wasn't okay those things are still going on so talk about them 1984 thank you
00:20:12.020very much talk about the things in this that's educational in and of itself listen the lost boys
00:20:18.760is uh i love the lost boys so much i do not have it on dvd um this is a fantastic movie
00:20:25.340to be able to talk to every kid and and get them to say do you feel like you're in trap do you feel
00:20:33.720like you're in a box. You feel like you're limited. You feel like you want to break free
00:20:39.360from who you think, who kids think you are and just be who you want to be. That is this movie,
00:20:47.280the saddest conversation I have ever had with a student. Well, maybe not ever, but one of the sad
00:20:51.360conversations, I remember him sitting in front of me and he, you know, was a popular kid, but he was
00:20:57.420popular. He had a particular identity and sort of bravado. And I remember him sitting in front of
00:21:03.040me. And I said, you know, what's, you know, because he was having a hard time and he was
00:21:07.080struggling. And he said, you know, sometimes I think the person that everybody thinks I am,
00:21:13.660the person that everybody wants me to be, isn't the person I am. And if I ever veer away from that,
00:21:20.660they'll make fun of me. They won't accept me. They won't think of me as cool or as popular as I once
00:21:28.580was and i don't know if i can let go of that even though that person's not always me
00:21:37.620that is some deep introspection from a kid that was like 16 years old
00:21:46.420right he had aware a way that he dressed and presented himself
00:21:51.860and some days he wanted to be that person some days he liked that some days that's who he was
00:21:57.860and other days he wasn't but he felt as though he was had to live up to something he'd created
00:22:03.700well don't we all do that don't we all feel like we've created something and now we need to live
00:22:10.500up to that i can never be something else
00:22:15.540i think it's incredibly powerful for kids to talk about even if they don't quite understand it even
00:22:21.860if they don't quite have that feeling yet i think they will eventually have that feeling
00:22:29.380and eventually realize that just because yesterday i wore a suit and a tie doesn't
00:22:34.260mean today i can't wear a dress doesn't mean tomorrow i can't cut my hair doesn't mean to
00:22:38.580the next day i can't wear makeup if i want to put on nail polish or all of these things that we just
00:22:45.940decide no this is the only human beings are the most diverse internally the uh you know
00:22:54.900and and multi-dimensional creatures how dare we create a society in which we force us we force
00:23:03.620ourselves into a box that we can't of our own making sometimes and we stay into a this box
00:23:10.660for freaking ever forever and it's not until you're my age 50 55 60 sometimes
00:23:21.480where you go what was what a waste of time why wouldn't I just figure out who
00:23:32.660I was and what made me happy and what inspired me and if I wanted to be an
00:23:36.680accountant who also played open mic night on the weekends so like that is incredibly powerful
00:23:45.580stuff and the more ways we can get at that the more ways we can talk about how to get kids to
00:23:55.360express themselves the more powerful ways we can help kids jump into that
00:24:02.260the less we will have unhappy depressed lost adults because i'll tell you this i'll tell you
00:24:14.820this before i give you my last couple movies the most dangerous thing in this world is an adult
00:24:21.320who is lost who feels unfulfilled who doesn't feel as though they're a whole person because
00:24:28.500they will do random sometimes dangerous sometimes destructive stuff to try to figure out who they
00:24:36.340really are in later years and when they do it then it has this catastrophic effect on all the people
00:24:42.820around them right we need to to encourage that diversity of thought in an identity and no i'm
00:24:55.460I'm not, I'm not just saying like, it's not just about, you know, gender roles and all that thing.
