Dirty Dancing with Lauryn Kahn

from Mama Needs a Movie · host Mama Needs a Movie

Screenwriter Lauryn Kahn (Hulu's Fresh) joins to discuss the coming-of-age romance DIRTY DANCING starring Jennifer Grey, Patrick Swayze, and Jerry Orbach. The 1987 drama directed by Emile Ardolino is one of the most iconic dance films of all time, but how has the film's perspective on touchier subjects like abortion and class consciousness aged in modern times? Is DIRTY DANCING still worth lifting up, or is it time to put it in the corner? Listen to find out, plus to hear some classic diversions into Baz Luhrmann, Scrooged, Rodney Dangerfield, cotton candy grapes, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Brett Kavanaugh, Weekend at Bernie's, and much much more.
