Show notes

Movie Month kicks off with one of the most iconic soundtrack tracks of the 1980's, the great story of Demi Moore and Rob Lowe, and how they...well, they uh... oh it doesn't have anything to do with their actual movie. But it's FROM it, and it's GREAT, and that's all that matters. And we spend some time with the chin, er, voice behind the song, John Parr! A great start to a month full of movie tracks.
