Have some Fried Green Tomatoes at The Breakfast Club with legendary music and film producer Andrew Meyer. Legendary music and film producer Andrew Meyer talks about how he first met John Hughes, and in retrospect how crazy that meeting was. Andrew had just created A&M Films for A&M Records and was asked to run the company even though he was an English Major in college and had never been on a movie set! John Hughes was a writer for the National Lampoon who had never directed a movie. By the end of that meeting Andrew had committed a million dollars to John Hughes to direct the Breakfast Club! Hear all the stories and anecdotes from the making of the Breakfast Club as told by Executive Producer Andrew Meyer
