We're hoping to avoid chickening out of the big lift in our 136th anniversary as we discuss:</p> <ul><li>Who almost played Johnny Castle but screen tested terribly against Jennifer Grey</li> <li>Why we think Jennifer Grey didn't have the career of Sarah Jessica Parker</li> <li>How much does this film line up with Marvelous Mrs Maisel (season 2) and why might that actually not be an accident</li> <li>Is there a religious subplot in this film that no-one talks about regarding Baby's father's disapproval of Johnny Castle</li> <li>How good a job does this film do using the theatre of the mind to shock us in the abortion subplot</li> <li>Is this the best Patrick Swayze film ever?</li> <li>What other film do we know Baby's father from on the pod?  How about the social convener?</li> <li>We need your help to settle a 3 way disagreement on the film?</li> <li>Whether or not Dirty Dancing is the Best Film Ever</li> </ul> <p>Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at <a href='https://www.patreon.com/BFE'>https://www.patreon.com/BFE</a></p> <p>We are extremely thankful to our following Patrons for their most generous support:</p> <ul><li>Rev Bruce</li> <li>Juleen from It Goes Down In The PM</li> <li>Lina Oberholzer</li> <li>Ensign Ian Davies</li> <li>Chris Pedersen </li> <li>Katie McRae</li> <li>Duane Smith (Duane Smith!)</li> <li>Randal Silva</li> <li>The Yeetmeister</li> <li>Nate The Great</li> <li>Cheezy (with a fish on a bike)</li> <li>Andy Dickson</li> <li>Holly Callen</li> </ul> <p>Buy some BFE merch at <a href='https://my-store-b4e4d4.creator-spring.com/'>https://my-store-b4e4d4.creator-spring.com/</a></p> <p>Massive thanks to Lex Van Den Berghe for the use of 'Mistake' by Luckydog.  Catch more from Lex's new band, The Maids
