This episode we head back to 1984 for what Jon asserts is a "near perfect film"- Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer fight for their lives to dance in Herbert Ross directed, Dean Pitchford's "Footloose". The soundtrack naturally delivers, and if you can't imagine (with plenty of suspended disbelief) that these jams could be played on a small boombox and somehow infiltrate every room, car, and crevice of a small town- then you aren't trying hard enough to feel the rhythm within. We wax and wain nostalgic about most things 80's and all things childhood and simpler times, as well as question how reckless kids really did drive in yester years.

A film that was distributed by Paramount Picture and the soundtrack released on Colombia, offers lots of laughs and Jon having to remind Abbie plenty of times who is who, in a super fun conversation.
