'The Breakfast Club' kids had to serve more time than Lindsay Lohan.

Loved the interview, but I wish you had asked her if "Orange You Glad It's Summer" would ever see the light of day. Target used a few seconds of it in an ad years ago, but nothing more was ever spoken of the song.

Wake me up when they start carrying episodes of Fish Hooks.

Does he really care? I mean, people don't necessarily want to do the same thing forever.

Peter Hook is most likely furious about this for some reason that no one quite understands.

I must be the only person in the world who loves Vanilla Sky. (without any shame at all, mind you)

@avclub-cc87e6e21b28a36bacbbfecb194ff62d:disqus - You're absolutely right. They didn't show up for work every day only to be told "Whoops! We're not paying you!" 
And I think an important thing to ask is what were their expectations? What would have struck the ideal balance between "doing too much work for free" and

I don't think we have the whole story on what their jobs were like. No intern (or anyone else for that matter) empties trash on set incessantly unless they've done something horrifically wrong.
