Dirty Dancing: Some Babies Dance, Some Babies Die (with Maria Thayer)
Episode description
SUBCATEGORY: SHALL WE DANCE?
Podstruck waltzes into a brand new rom-com subcategory all about dancing, starting with the iconic 1987 film 'Dirty Dancing', starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. Joining Chelsea Davison and Elena Crevello is Maria Thayer ('Forgetting Sarah Marshall,' 'Accepted,' 'Those Who Can't') who shares how this VHS tape was passed around from sleepover to sleepover like a porno for girls. And we get it, because Dirty Dancing has everything a romance needs: sexy grinding, forbidden love, and a surprisingly timely subplot featuring an illegal abortion. Plus we talk about the one thing dancers absolutely need - watermelon.
