The Brat Snack
Inspiration Corner
The decade: The 1980s.
The filmmaker: John Hughes.
The movies: The Breakfast Club (1985) and Pretty in Pink (1986)
The Brat Snack jumps through time to the 80s and mashes together John Hughes’s Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club, with a generous helping of spices to the sausage mix.
John Hughes: the man, the myth, the huge glasses. Not only the mind behind The Brat Snack’s key inspirations, but also the auteur responsible for Cat cat favorites like Home Alone, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. An entire career built on understanding the angst of being young and giving voices to dweebs and wastoids of all ages.
Out of many Hughes classics, The Breakfast Club serves as the backbone. One school, one Saturday, one vice principal with nothing better to do. Ralph and Casey took this setup and stuffed and cased it into Sausage Arts High School of America, challenging their characters to bond, bicker, and come together to blend their specific spices.
