As a tribute to the famous director and writer John Hughes, artist Butcher Billy started The Reckless Club project.
The Reckless Club is a reimagining of the iconic movie The Breakfast Club, which was written and direct by the late John Hughes. Instead of the original actors like Emilio Estevez and Molly Ringwald, Butcher Billy instead casts famous rockers like Joan Jett and Billy Idol in the role of the lead characters. The result is an awesome mashup between some of that eras most important cultural icons and arguably one of its most important films.
