Episode notes

You know the song. You can't help but tap your toes. But don't do it in Bomont, because dancing is illegal there... at least, until the teenagers challenge the status quo. It's the wildly successful 1984 film, "Footloose", starring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, John Lithgow, Chris Penn, and Dianne Weist.

Zack's wife, Audrey Bennett, joins him for this look back at a film that, as popular as it was, perhaps didn't match the popularity of its own soundtrack.
