Our lives keep changing as the summer progresses. That's right, our Growing up in Summer marathon continues this week with the 80s classic, Dirty Dancing—which takes place in the summer of '63. Dirty Dancing offers quite a few differences to  Stand by Me . It's never as nostalgic, it features a strong female lead who comes from money. While class is a part of Stand by Me, it drives the narrative o...

Ciao, and welcome back to your favorite film analysis podcast! We're back with one more show, much to Dustin's chagrin. Coming out of  The Loveless , we were still in the mood for some bad boys.

Your favorite film analysis podcast moves along slightly in the '80s as the Musical Revue continues with a look at Hairspray (1988). John Waters' cult classic is unabashedly campy and bizarre, but does it hold up to the test of time? As we continue along this musical journey, Hairspray is a bit of an odd departure. The original 1988 film is less a musical and more of a dance film. There are still...
