Dirty Dancing: Chemistry, Classism, Controversy…and The Time of Our Lives

from Pop Culture Preservation Society · host Pop Culture Preservation Society

Once again the PCPS is holding a college-level course on an iconic movie from our youth: this time it’s the 1987 feel-good, forbidden-love, hip-swivelin’ classic Dirty Dancing. But as you’ll hear in this episode, Dirty Dancing was so much more than a “dance movie.” In true PCPS fashion we’re dissecting everything from the ironic chemistry of the co-stars to the very serious, critical issues the movie explores like classism and the controversial abortion storyline. We’re also celebrating the soundtrack and giving love to all those indelible songs that take you right back to Kellermans!
