Popverse's top stories of the day

40 years ago, five students (and actors) walked into detention and came out of part of cinematic history with The Breakfast Club movie. Now, in the city where it all began, Molly Ringwald (Claire), Anthony Michael Hall (Brian), Judd Nelson (Bender), Ally Sheedy (Allison), and Emilio Estevez (Andrew) reunite to celebrate The Breakfast Club and its lasting impact on generations of fans. April 11 through 13 at C2E2 2025, the cast will be meeting with fans and, on that Saturday, taking part in a rare reunion conversation event.
