Sep 8, 2021

Summary:

"Dance is the sad cousin of music." We dig deep into the vaults to bring you the last episode of our summer re-release series. It's our epic debate from May 2018 over whether the best dance movie of the '80s is Dirty Dancing or Footloose. Who won this argument? You'll have to re-listen to find out.

Pop This! will return to regular programming on Sept. 15.
