The Legend of Billie Jean is a 1985 film that tells the story of a young woman who becomes an outlaw after a series of unfortunate events. While originally seen as a comic book movie with a kickass soundtrack, the film has become even more relevant in modern times due to its portrayal of social media and public perception. This podcast explores the film's strong female lead, Billie Jean, and her transformation into a symbol of standing up for what's right. It also touches upon the film's representation of fatherlessness, showing that even in the absence of a father figure, one can still find strength and rise above their circumstances.As Billie Jean went on the run, a legend formed around her.
