Episode 10: Footloose (Part 1)

I just have to say first of all that Footloose is a heckuva film. I totally forgot how good it is and I'm not saying that in some campy or ironic way or anything. It's just awesome and I had a real good time watching this one. With that said, I'm really sad to say that we must've talked over one of my favorite parts which is when Ren is telling Willard about this girl he met in a club in the big city. They're in the cafeteria. Even if you don't take part in the commentary, watch that part. It's great.

Joining us this week are Maria's two sisters: Monica and Melinda. Melinda made the trip all the way from Texas! Say Hooray!

Here's the scene I was talkin' about where Ren is telling Willard about the crazy chick he met in a club. Notice the guy who offers Ren a joint later in the movie is staring him down and pointing in the background.The movie never mentions where it's set, but notice that it's a cop from somewhere called "Bayson County." There's a town in Utah south of Provo called Payson, fyi. The cop is uncredited, but I'm pretty sure he's a Mormon actor who has appeared in several LDS films.
Melinda knows this chick driving the car. I can't remember the story. Just listen to the commentary for goodness' sake!I was gonna think of a funny caption for this shot, but it's probably not even necessary.
This awkward shot proves that Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer did their own dancing.
I haven't seen that much blood in a teenager movie since Johnny Depp exploded in A Nightmare on Elm Street
Humor! Dancing! Drama! Footloose even has a car sequence of Tarantino-esque proportions!
Here's a little bonus shot from that same scene. Footloose also has a hint of sex.

Episode 9: Step Up (Part 2)

Part 2 begins with Chapter 8. The chapter is called "What do you want?" I sure hope you want dancing, cuz I have a feeling you're in for dance-tastic long haul.

Yeah, this is where they decide to kiss -- right in front of mom. Don't these kids know anything about being teenagers?

Look at the lurpy white boy try to dance! Ha ha! Man, we are so lame.
This is the biggest glass of orange juice ever put to film.
The ending is all inspirational and all that, but who is that munchkin in the background?

Episode 9: Step Up (Part 1)

We picked Step Up from 2006 which is a fave of Maria's. I'm sort of neutral about this one, but at least I was able to get her talking for for a couple of hours, so it was sort of like a vacation.

Channing Tatum: Man of 1000 Faces... all of them the same

Jenna Dewan: conflicted upper middle-class dancing beauty or secret mouse-human hybrid?

Yeah, for a principal, her rack does seem a bit big...

Can you believe that this ISN'T the scene where they kiss? Baltimore gets hit with an atomic bomb and they don't even live it up!
