Patron Exclusive Review Episode 107

The Breastfed Club

After the heavy events of the past few weeks, Arnie, Marjorie, and Justin lighten things up with a look at John Hughes’ teen sex comedy, Weird Science. Following The Breakfast Club, Hughes takes a wilder approach to high school misfits—this time with a hacked-together dream woman played by Kelly LeBrock. The film features early Robert Downey Jr. as a high school jerk, Bill Paxton in his unforgettable role as big brother Chet, and even Mad Max-style bikers led by Vernon Wells and Michael Berryman. But does Lisa’s magic still work 40 years later? Find out in this Patron-exclusive review!
