Summary

Well everyone certainly cut loose on this one. If you grew up with Footloose, it might not be easy to recognize how objectively insane this movie is. But oh baby, this is one wild ride with arguably two of the craziest scenes we've ever discussed on this podcast.

Topics include: the real life story that inspired the film, Reverend Moore's surprisingly layered characterization, why Chuck becomes the main antagonist (and more importantly, why that's completely unnecessary), a lot of love for Chris Penn as Willard, some reservations about Ariel, the heartbreaking story hiding in the peripheral of this movie, the 2011 remake, and much much more!

1:21.3	And so Tabith's husband, Andrew, reached out to us a couple weeks ago about doing this.
