Episode 71: Feetloose

Jump back, listeners, as it's time for another 80s classic and its 2010s remake as Dan and Keith cut loose, Footloose. In 1984, Kevin Bacon comes to the town of Bomont to redeem it from frenzied Satanic Panic oppression through the power of dance, with excellent supporting performances from Chris Penn, John Lithgow, and the great Diane Wiest. Then in the 2010s, the story is retold with few updates aside from "also rap exists," with a cast whose breakout star is... Miles Teller? In the Chris Penn role? That can't be right, can it? Which version was better than it had any right to be, and which underdelivered? Tune in and cut foot loose with us!
