Dirty Dancing Jun 28, 2020

Show notes

It's the Summer of Swayze! We kick off several weeks of Swayze content with perhaps his most iconic role. Johnny Castle is dancing for the man at an upscale resort in the Catskills. Frances "Baby" Houseman is visiting said resort with her wealthy parents. Pelvic grinding, trauma, and class warfare combine to create a gripping tale of the dirtiest of dancing.
