About

It’s 1963, you are a horny young woman on vacation with your family in a stale lakeside resort intended to entertain uptight yuppies in a way that would barely entertain your blind grandma. You see a handsome young man wearing his jeans concerningly high and you gush a noticeable puddle on the wood floor of the cabana. You must know him. You find out his partner has come down with an awful case of the pregnancy and you decide to help by borrowing a large sum from your aloof father so she can get a roadside coathangering. It all goes wrong but you fall in love with the twink with the nipple-high slacks and decide to help them perform a dance routine. It fails but your love persists. Your dad is angry, the girl mortally ill, the boy’s nipples chafed. Things are about to get dirty… Welcome to 1987’s dirty dancing directed by Emile Ardolino and starring Jennifer Grey, Patrick Swayze, and Jerry Orbach. This flick made a foot-stomping $214 million dollars from a $4.5 budget and even won an academy award for a song in here. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss cuckolds and putting babies in corners as we figure out if this one is a successful lift or a roadside abortion.
