Summary
"Do I look like I own tights?"
This week the Wives Colangelo are diving back into the world of dance movies and finally tackling STEP UP. Joining your hosts is film critic and podcaster William Bibbiani, who makes a strong argument as to why the STEP UP franchise is the best film franchise out there. Let's talk about the uncomfortable era of white boys appropriating hip-hop culture, lay the groundwork for eventual discussions on the sequels, and figure out why STEP UP became the winner of the dance movie wars of the 2000s.
