The SSN Crew is joined by special guests Carolyn from The C-Dubb Show and Amelia to discuss "The Breakfast Club" and "Riverdale's" recent tribute episode to it, the upcoming Disney+ streaming service, Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace" film getting a release, OWN's "Chad Loves Michelle," how Warner Bros. can keep their "Jonny Quest" movie from being racist, and more.
