This week we watched one of the cheesiest dance movies of the '80s. The 1985 Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt film Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Join us this week as we go on another '80s movie adventure with Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, and Anthony Michael Hall in this 1983 John Hughes, Harold Ramis classic.

For this week's episode we watched the '80s musical, horror, comedy classic Little Shop of Horrors starring Rick Moranis.

We talk about the differences between the cuts, the origins of the 1960 film and the musical that lead to the movie, and a few pop stars who almost ended up in the movie! You won't want to miss...
