The Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks presents presents Master Pancake Theater: The Breakfast Club.

Master Pancake Theater is part of the Alamo tradition of pairing bad movies with live comedy (and beer)! It's smart, fast, and bust-a-gut funny. Voted BEST COMEDY TROUPE twice by the readers of the Austin Chronicle (2008, 2009), Master Pancake features slacker wise-cracker John Erler, his partner Joe Parsons, and a rotating band of Austin's funniest comics going up against the worst that Hollywood has to offer.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Director John Hughes
Year 1985
Starring Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy
Rating PG-13
Run Time 120min

This August, as the world goes back to school, Master Pancake heads to the classroom to throw spitballs at THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985). Starring puffy-lipped princess Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez and most of the rest of the Brat Pack as a quintet of misfits stuck in detention one fateful afternoon.

As always, the Master Pancakers will artfully ridicule the 80's fashion, sentimentality, and general preposterousness of the film, but nevertheless, many will still leave convinced that if we just talk to each other we can overcome all social barriers and that a Jock can fall in love with a Cure fan. Come out and laugh derisively on the outside while your spirit is uplifted on the inside as Master Pancake rips up THE BREAKFAST CLUB. (John)
