The How Did This Get Made? team analyzes the 1984 film 'Body Rock,' a musical dance film about a talentless protagonist named Chilly who inexplicably becomes a star despite exploiting his crew and showing no genuine talent. Guest Alison Brie joins hosts Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael to dissect the film's problematic narrative, bizarre editing, off-beat musical performances, and uncomfortable sexual content.
Insights
- The film's central narrative flaw is rewarding a morally bankrupt protagonist with no talent or character development, inverting the redemption arc found in comparable 80s films like Staying Alive and Cocktail
- Music video direction translated poorly to feature filmmaking—strong visual composition and performance pieces couldn't overcome fundamental storytelling and editing problems
- The film unintentionally illustrates cultural appropriation by centering a white male lead over more talented minority performers in the breakdancing crew
- Poor technical execution (unintelligible dialogue, bad sound recording, low lighting) combined with unavailability in high-quality formats has contributed to the film's obscurity despite its 1984 theatrical release

Now I want to introduce to you a movie where we all said to you. If you think this rap is bad, just wait and see after watching this flick, you'll think it's a best in history. We saw Body Rock. And you know what that means. We always call you on the night. Freeman! Coddett, Swanson A.G.G.G.R.O. Baby in this belly rock, a rock, stone vest, while whipping just in the Kelly. I may be see a burlash show with Hit Crow and take a bubble speed to hit and cruise control. J.Man, Big Paul and the beautiful June. Gonna take you from the groove all the way to the road. Brand the games in street fire, they hope to blow off steam. Just to suck a plunge to eyed life, attempt me to bring. I need a deferred, Demi, cat we stand alive. They call it in the badass and he's on the line. Cranking eight, eight minutes cause they cool his eyes. Cause the bad Jim Bonnie looking kind of nice. Paul and June getting literal, Jason is getting late. June is making sure all the monkey shots get in pain. They judge a bunch of movies while they're making the grave. Here's a real question for you. How did this get made? Hello people of Lago! This is a little cool. We are live at Largo. How are you tonight? We are so excited to be here. The whole gang is here and we are talking about a movie that is unavailable in any format. But YouTube. And it's a goddamn trapecy. This is a movie that calls for a high definition. I appreciate the effort that it took to watch this. And I think the rewards were greater than we all anticipated. Tonight to talk about this film, I am joined by my co-host. Please welcome Jason Manzucas. What's up jerks? Welcome Jason. It's a different chairs. Different chairs. They're lower. Much lower chairs. So you can look at the audience. I'm sitting very low. Okay, cool. I guess this is what we're doing. You have a lot of things to do. I've got a lot of chairs. Yes, a lot of chair specifics. No stools. Don't like them. Don't care for them. Although I like stools more than I like this movie. How dare you. At some point I said to myself, Fernando Lomas is wearing two vests, not Fernando. Lorenzo. It's son. I'm going to say that I'm going to be a little bit more honest. Not Fernando. Lorenzo. His son. Sorry. I'm old enough to have first learned Fernando Lomas and then learned who his son was. Fernando Lomas. I was like, he's wearing two open vests and then a shirt under it. And I was like, that shirt is his chest. He's just so hairy that I mistook his chest hair for another shirt. And by the way, that means the chest hair is working. That really isn't a press. He's a hunk. This movie is full of hunk. This movie captures the 80s in a way that I love. It was not pretty. It was not, it was, I feel like in many New York-based movies it looks cooler. And I feel like this captured it exactly right. It's not super cool. It's pretty look at. But not super cool. Oh, and it's also like grimy. This movie is like grimy New York, which I loved. So, so good. And here to talk to us about all this movie and I'm sure about the fashions and the hairstyles. My other co-host, please welcome June Diane Rayfield. Woo! I'm okay. June Body Rock Thoughts. Okay. It is we were talking about this a little bit backstage. It's hard to say. It is we were talking about this a little bit backstage. It's hard to call this a film. As I think we all know that, you know, language matters. Words matter. Sure. Is it a motion picture? Is it a moving? Honestly, if you break it down, is it a moving picture? Yes. But this didn't cut together for me. Um... So you'd like a re-edit? You'd like them to just get in there, open it back up and read it. Open it back up, see what they see, bring on a new editor. Fresh eyes. How about this? How about more songs? Do you think more songs would have helped? Instead of a new song starting every 30 to 45 seconds? Okay, I will say. One of the new songs started every 15 to 25 seconds. I was in a rush to watch this. And I just finished moments ago. So you'll have to excuse me. I am like just post-body rock. Just like... Your body has just... My body has just been rocked. I hope after sex tonight, all of you are like, Oh, I am just post-body rocked. Just. If we do not make a t-shirt that is a silhouette of Lorenzo Lamis with his... Like... No, I want a t-shirt that is Lorenzo Lamis on the sides is the two open vests. And then it's just... The middle of the shirt is just chest hair. You know what? I love that. And I also go, let's recreate the bouncer shirt, which had all the rules of the bar on the shirt. Oh, that's easy. Yeah, and then it was tough. He didn't even need to say it. He wore it. Carved... Carved into his chest hair is body rock. The words body rock. Like they've been shaved in. I love it. Get to work. Get to work. Get to work. You fucking nerds. We just released our Steller skateboard shirt, which is pretty amazing. I saw it. It's great. All right. I wonder if Steller's scar's guard is at all aware of the Steller skateboard scenario. And if he is flamixed by it. Well, I shared an elevator with him once and I almost mentioned it. No. And he was like, he could definitely beat me up. Yeah. Also, it gets into one of those things where you'd have to explain what a podcast is to him. I feel like that would be the big... Like, what is it? Like, where would people hear this? No, it is definitely a thing because his Wikipedia page goes from being unlocked to locked often. Because every time it's unlocked, it is quickly changed to Steller's skateboard. So... And... Some eagle eye... Some eagle eye... How did this get made? Listen, I love you for it. Is making sure that that thing stays locked for eternity. Which also means that it doesn't appear as a Steller's scar's guard has been in a movie in three years. Because nobody can get in there to update that account. Well, we're very excited tonight. This is something we've been wanting to have on the podcast for a long time. She starred along with us in the movie The Disaster Artist. You know her from Mad Men. From Community End, the amazingly hit Netflix show Glow. Please welcome Alison Brie! Welcome! Hello! Hello! I want you to know that I very seriously asked June if I should do the worm just now. I say in earnest, as I came out here. Well, Alison, there's one thing that you share that none of us do. You've seen this movie twice. Guys, I loved it. I watched it twice. I should preface this by saying, for Season 2 of Glow, I had to learn a little bit of breakdancing. Oh, really? Okay. And we actually have a very similar learning to breakdance montage in Season 2 of the show. It doesn't take place at the zoo. It's the only difference. So you don't have a cutaway of a bear rubbing up against the tree. No, no. Or a giraffe just like, huh? What I liked, I know this is late in the movie, and we're not really getting into this right now. But you can, you guys. I liked that most of the animal shots, it was not a reaction shot. They were doing nothing at all. It was like that. It was like the middle of the afternoon, a bird just like staring off into the distance. It was almost as if a home footage of someone's trip to the zoo was intercut in this movie. Yes, yes, exactly. Well, let's just start off right here at the top. This movie is kind of like staying alive, kind of like cocktail. And then it makes you realize how amazing those movies are because this one is, it's a real tricky thing to have a lead character who has no talent. Well, listen, I don't think I've ever, I thought a number of times during watching this movie, I wonder, I don't care for him. And I don't want it. I don't know anything about him and I don't want to. Like I both, I think I'm saying Lorenzo, by the way, we're saying the character Chilly. Chilly. He's written as having nothing about him that is interested. He seems to be, but inexplicably he succeeds in spite of himself in a way that like I kept being like, oh, the narrative is going to be about the fact that he's talentless and he's going to be revealed, but no. In fact, he is like a hero at the end for being like a horrible person to everyone involved. Basically, he treats everybody in his life like a piece of shit. Then when he gets treated like a piece of shit, all his friends are like, oh no! They were mean to Chilly, we love him. And I was like, Chilly is basically ripped everybody off. Asked them to teach him how to do their skills, which he then makes money out of. But sort of, except I would just like to point out that there are two Chilly learning to break dance montages in the movie. But we never see him break dance in performance. He says all this time learning how to do it and then it cuts him on stage kind of wrapping. And when he does get his big number, it's a slow song. It's a ballad. It's a ballad, yeah. Which does not seem at all right in the vein of this movie. So the movie starts and I thought, oh, it's a graffiti movie. Agreed, agreed. And by the way, I'm excited. That's interesting to me. Body rock. I don't know how it's going to relate, but great. And then I thought, no, no, no, it's about break dancers. And then I thought, no, no, no, it is about MCs. And then I thought, no, no, no, no, it's about club ownership. I mean, there is no. I still don't really know what Chilly's goal is. Well, when he goes into the dream job. Yeah, when he goes into the manager's office, doesn't he want the guy to manage him? As a graffiti artist. As artists because he'd gotten money for the graffiti artist, Blizzard. Was that person's name? Who makes a brief appearance early on in the movie? And they're like, look at that guy. So smug. And it cuts him. And he's just smiling at them. He's like a nice guy. He looks like a fucking sweetheart. I kept being like, is his name actually Blizzard? I turned on the clothes captioning on YouTube, which might as well just be some in typing words into YouTube concurrent to the movie that are not related to the movie. And it did not help me understand if that person's name was or was not Blizzard. I will say that it's a tough sell for a mainstream movie to be about a lead character who really wants a good manager. Like, that was like, I really need good management. To manage what? To manage what? I would like to point out that when Chilly early on in the movie, he's sitting in the office of, you know, the unemployment office, and he says, and I quote, she asked him what his dream job is, and he says, I want to be like Muhammad Ali in his prime. And then she says, so you're a boxer and he's like, no. I think that scene was to be like, Chilly's so cool, he sticks it to the man. But she seemed nice. Yeah. Oh, I felt bad. I felt worse for her because she was sick. Her character is working at the employment office, trying to get more on, like, Chilly a job. Who, who, when he's there is again, not wearing a shirt. She, she has shown up for work. Sick. In terrible lighting. Yes, and this fucking asshole's like, I don't give a shit. My nips are out. Let's just, let's just look. This is for real. I want you to understand this movie should be about this woman. That's a harrowing John Cassavetti's movie that I would watch. I mean, I don't even think air up. Chilly, what kind of work would you like? So I wouldn't want to be trash. Look at his chest. If you could do anything you wanted, what would that be? Anything? Sure. I would like to be like Muhammad Ali and his pride. And he puts his best to her voice. No. When you go out for a job and if you do, usually dress the way you look today. Absolutely. I like to look fresh. Yeah, fresh. She goes home to someone who's like, how is work? And she's like, not good. You should see what's up. I had a chili and an easy today. Things are bad. They were not wearing shirts. I feel like Chilly looks like the villains from the karate kid throughout the whole movie. Like, he always looks like he's in a gee, like a crew, but it's not. It's just like a weird belt and his open shirt and his headband. His fashions. I mean, we could spend a lot of time. Like if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, if you're not wearing headphones, that through most of the movie, I thought it was spelled like the food, or the spice. Spelled with a wax. It's spelled with a wye, which is traveling. Like chili willy. Like chili willy. Okay, exactly. He is on well. He is not a well person. That is insane. Chili? Well, chili is like, yeah, these are intense looks. I don't understand how someone who makes no money can afford all these looks. And are they all living together in the same apartment? No, she lives with his mom. Oh, right, okay. Oh my God. Sorry, sorry. Oh, Paul. Paul. Paul. Paul. But he was, what about his mom? Oh, wake up. What about his mom? His mom who sits in a room watching old-timey movies from the 40s. By the way, his mom who suffered a fall at one point, it sounded like. Yeah. Oh, she thought about. So when, so when chili goes back to the house with Darleen, Darla. Darleen. Darleen. And his pretending is pretending that it's his apartment. And he's outed because there's a huge crash from the bedroom. Okay. His mom has fallen off the bed. Like, there, it is a thump that is so loud and so unsettling. It's equivalent to the ladybugs drop off the chair. Exactly. Something happened in there, like a person, like in my mind, like she was drunk and had a little too much to drink. And she's watching her programs. And she fell. And you should check on her. No, he doesn't. Move a muscle. No, he's not, and he finally has to like shamefully admit my mom's in there. But does it move to see that she's okay? The wig on Grace's a breeze cow. He is. And she is, I mean, she is me. She is mere years away from her daughter, Laura Palmer, being ripped from her, ripped from her body. One of the all-time great character actors of this era, Grace of Reeski is amazing in this movie. Oh, yeah. How did this get me? How did this get me? I would say that even when Chilly is trying to be charming, there's something unnerving about him. When he's in the kitchen eating the roast beef. And then. This is a world in which everybody's clocking the roast beef. And when the girl comes in to get some post-shower roast beef. Oh, I just, I feel so nice and clean now. Let me just shout out on some roast beef. And she even holds it up. And it looks, it looks like prop food that has been left around for a long time, because it didn't need a terrible. But he smiles at her like, I wrote down like the golden state killer. She's like, oh, yes. It's opening mouth. Like maybe fangs will come out now. I will murder you. Well, he's hiding that last piece of roast beef that she's like, oh, I thought there was roast beef. And he's like, and he just looks to the side and like shucks a bunch in his mouth really fast. It was off-putting. It was very off-putting. I would say that everything sexual in this movie is off-putting. Every kiss, every, this, well, we'll get to sexy. Well, I like that break down. I'm glad you brought this up in relation to the roast beef scene because right before there is a questionable exchange between this chick and her brother who he hates her out of the bathroom by her towel. It was a little weird. Oh, there's a lot. Listen, there's a lot that's problematic about chili. I mean, and by the way, the way he's handled is so the character of chili is so upsetting because he's a violent man. And he is. He's a violent man. He is unhinged as a person. Sorry to skip ahead, but one of the last scenes when he's getting the other clear off the stage, I mean, he's physically just intimidating her and is aggressive toward her. She has to leave. He just picks her up and holds her really tight. Threatens to hurt her physically. And she does have to stay. I mean, this is not a good person. It's just not a good person. But at least he's got talent. Nope. But truly, he's a homophobic, exogenous. And by the way, the movie doesn't deal with that on any level. And let's just take the homophobia out of the equation for now, but just even his treatment of women throughout the movie is so terrible. And the way women, I mean, Darlene, has no standards. And his treated like shit throughout, he does nothing to redeem himself to her. Well, I mean nothing. I would argue that his friends, he's a bad person to her, to his friends. He's a bad, he is not, he is un, he is selfish and not generous to literally anybody in the movie. Well, I would argue that in these movies, and I go back to Cocktail and Staying Alive, both of those characters have similar journeys. Like they want to get somewhere, they get somewhere, they become dicks, and then they come back to their life. But, well, Staying Alive is a little different. But there's an element of charm to all of these people. And Chili seems to be the side character that you're like, he should not be, like the lead should not be hanging out with Chili. But Chili is the lead. It's like the movie should have been about someone else who just has had a little bit more of a heart of gold. Chili is like the bad influence friend. Yeah, Chili gets a little bit too much screen time. Because even when they show him, I mean, I don't even understand why he's with Darlene. That whole relationship, I don't get what either. And why can't Darlene join Body Rock? She works at the hospital. She's got shit going on. And there's some great ADR done in the hospital scene, replacing fuck, I believe. They have to get this screw. They have to get this down to a PG30, or PG. I think I have that scene in the hospital, which is a great one here. Here we go. Darlene, are you going to have a break soon? I need to talk to you. Why don't you just go talk to your little freak? What the freak? What a rich girl. What rich girl? The blonde, Chili. How do you know about Claire? It's such a sco and talk to Claire. Darlene, there ain't no big thing. No, I think that's your problem. We don't even really talk. You just screw. LAUGHTER Basically. Why don't you just go screw her and talk to yourself? You know, or if that doesn't do it for you, why don't you just go talk to her and go screw yourself? Three, three screw yourselves. And then she really came around just because he grabbed her off-stay. I mean, why did she come around? Why do any of them take him back any time? He never owns his selfish mistakes. He never apologizes. He never, there is nothing about his actions that tell me he does... He literally is thrown out of the... Anyway, whatever. But like, he jumps down out of the rafters and is like, I'm here and everybody is like, what? We love him now. And it's like, no. He's a villain. I'm pretty sure Chili is a villain for all of you. He's hurt all of your lives. They're like, you get in. And then you can bring us all up. And he's like, yes. And then he brings nobody up. I don't think I'm gonna lose. Then he takes the victory for himself. And he's like, but I'm gonna pull everybody up. And everybody's like, all right, I mean. Never remember to put them on a list. That's literally the least he can do. Ha, ha, ha. But by the way, let's talk about this list for a club. Because what is this club? No idea. This is like a sleep no more style dance numbers that I don't know where the stage is. It's certainly... This is the largest club that has ever existed. At one point they go up a giant escalator to another floor. And then they're like in a private area of the club that's also the size of two stages. And the stage where they do the dance routines, they don't have dancers like on stage dancing to music. They have like performance pieces in black light. We have like tunnels and tubes. But that's what I'm saying. Where does that is? Are you chasing it? Sleep no more, you're running around following the dancing because he literally walks into the crowd. It's, hey, it's chilly. Then he runs down the tunnel. And then the dance numbers are like, where did he go? That's the club. That would be like if I just ran backstage and like, I'm doing the podcast and it ran out to the parking lot. It would be upsetting to you. Now listen, would I like to go to a club like that? Yeah, I would. I liked, I did like the giant boom box. Like that set design. That was terrific. There is some real stage value and performance happening. I've never seen anything like it. How much are they flipping it? Like how many days is the giant boom box there and they're like, what, we got a new new thing? Mummies. Great. I would like to believe that every night is a new theme, completely new performance. Like they're putting a lot of work in. Listen, the one performance I really loved was the skeleton piece. Yes. That was pretty cool. I mean, it's like a real hundred percent. I mean, I should have even self didn't contribute much to it. He's not a thing. No, as a matter of fact, you're in. Marched in place. Yeah, like, well, the director of this movie is a music video director. As a matter of fact, this is the only movie he ever directed. And now it all makes sense. Come on. Are you serious? You know, and he directed videos for Bon Jovi and Motley Crew. So I believe that he did capture the dancing well, and probably is the reason why the movie opens with two back-to-back musical numbers without any dialogue. A very bold move. Not to introduce your characters until you're about seven or eight minutes into the film. Talking about all the negative stuff about Chilli, we can be here all day. But there's one person that we love. I think we all love magic. Magic. I knew you were going to say magic. And I would argue, Jason, that this is where we see the redeeming side of Chilli in his friendship with a young child. OK. Or you could argue that he is stealing magic's talent, passing it off as his own to marginalized magic. Magic's signature moves. He only teaches it at the easy stuff. That's true. That's true. This is what's so weird about Terence and the other Investor Donald. Donald Donald. Donald Donald. Donald Trump. Donald Donald. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Donald fascinates me. And we could be here all night to just discuss Donald. But what's so interesting is that they're not interested in magic. Like, yeah. They watch. They watch. They show and not want only magic out of everything. Now, here's my thought about that. Because when they go to see him at the Bright Dancing Club, magic's brothers are seemingly in, and I'm going to say a Biker gang, because they are dressed like a Biker gang people. And they're so into their little brother magic, they're just bouncing the bottles on the bar. And then they break. And when they break those bottles, they go immediately into a handshake. And I think that that frightened those guys off. They're like, oh, they broke those bottles. These people are too rowdy. We got to go. Yeah. I have a quick point to make now that you brought up of the slamming down to those bottles and this first performance, which was really my only problem with the movie. For a movie about music and dancing. Is it? I mean dancing. Dancing? No. It was especially lacking in rhythm. People are off beat all the time. So much of this movie, most notably, Chile, the first time he tries to rap sing and introduce the body rock crew. It's so off. And I would argue that those guys are also slightly off beat as they're trying to cling along. Well, I mean, the rapping in this movie is amazing. I would like to play that. The first one. The second rap one. Because I feel like that's where he's kind of like, where's it? Lizzie, where's he? Yes, sorry. Where's introducing the crew? There we go. The hands up, I shot it out loud. I said, yeah. I said, yeah. I said, oh, yeah. I said, hey, oh, yeah. And now I'm going to introduce to you another member of the body rock crew. He's built with us, and he was 17. He's lean. He's lean. He's a rock machine. Like, I'm not going to get to rap. I'm not going to rap. I'm not going to rap. He's not on the track with the best break down all the basketballs. J.K.M.A. That's all I got. I'm going to pause for two seconds. It's a breakdown of these first two performances. So, Chile, thoughts. Look and not on beat. To me, this is what it reads as. Like, I've done my share of musical theater, not to brag. But there's something called. June, you were what? What did you do? Name the roles. I did sweet charity. I did filler on the roof. Great. You need more. Can we get a taste? Can we get a taste? Well, what I was going to say is not the time for the place. But I will say there's something called a marking rehearsal, which is like, I'm going to give nothing. I'm going to give you nothing right now. And I'm going to mark. I'm going to walk the beats here I go, 7 and 8. You have a loss of step. Yes, but it's like, I mean, I could do better than that. That's the marking. But the marking rehearsal is just like, let's just get our marks. Let's go through the motions of what this is going to look like. That's what this is. This is just a marking. It's like, oh, these are the words. This is sort of the rhythm. Well, even if it is unsuccessful. Totally. But this is the finished product, though. This is where they said got it moving off. Yes. Like moving off the next thing. The one where Lorenzo Lamis is never on beat. And the guy that comes in second is not on mud. Never. The guy who comes in second who actually can rap and is seemingly doing something amazing. I can't hear where he's saying, I have no idea what's happening. Well, I would also argue here that this whole movie feels like, they're like, who could we get? They went through a list of names. They landed on Lorenzo Lamis. And he's like, but I don't break dance. And I don't rap. And they're like, don't worry about it. We're going to do it. And we're going to wait for you. We're going to be with those people. We will make you look good. We'll do it all. And then he gets to the scene. He's like, you know, I just feel uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable. Committee is like, don't just talk it. Just talk it. Be like the rock and moana. Just get through that song. Just do it. And by the way, I like that song a lot. I like it a lot. It's a good song. But it's like, just like, let's do that. And like, but you can't like talk through rap. It's talking. Well, it's also difficult. It's also difficult because they do try and surround him with people that can sing, that can dance, that can rap, that can whatever. And but the narrative of the movie is that he becomes inexplicably the star, having proven to his value to be literally zero. Like, and they pointed out like he even to his friend at the beginning is like, what are you going to do? They make a big point about how he can do nothing. And after two minutes of this performance, the people are like, he's our guy. Then nobody, I see nothing else. That's the guy who's going to headline our club. You're a goddamn idiot. If you can't think that magic is the one. Like, take magic. Take the guy. You're not going to do this little part on the ground. But then we are, you almost have to be though that this movie is about basically white people taking black culture and saying the white guy is the person that we will take. We won't take any of the minorities in his crew, even though he's a garbage monster. We need the guy in our place to be white for all the white pages, I guess. It's a very white break dancing crew. I mean, magic is the only, yeah. There's a guy I like to call white Luigi. But and maybe that is not PC either. But he just has like a spoof of curly hair and a big mustache. And he always looks like he's dressed like a plumber, but with a midriff. And as Scarbride is acting, he does a lot of arms and shivers. Very good dancer. Like a lot of chug, a chug, a chug. Very good dancer, that guy. That's my dancer. I want to talk about the guy that was not a mic that we talked about here. His rapping is like, I'm ribbity rap, and he ribbity rap. Ribbity, bubity, like, it's not saying words. And he's not rapping so fast that he's like, it's not like M and M words. It's like nailing out lyrics. He's not saying actual words. He's like, no wonder I couldn't understand him. He's really great. He's like, ribbity, ribbity rap. Like, here, let's think of listening again. Here we go. Stop saying ribbity rap. Like, I'm going to look like a rapper. I'm going to look like a rapper. I'll stop my rap, I'm going to jump. Jump with the best break down all the basketball. J.P. M.A. That's a lot. In the beginning. Then he runs out of steam and just slows way down. Jump with the best break down. Yeah, he's saying like, ribbity rap. I'm going to look like a rapper. I'm going to stop my rap. I'm going to jump with the best break down all the basketball. I mean, yeah, I would love it. I would love it if one of our listeners would transcribe this song and do it. And do it as a like, a plaintive folk ballad. That and vanishing boys, which is awesome. Not mad at the music in this movie. I loved a lot of the music. Or the dancing. It must be said, the break dancers in the first sequence are awesome. The skeleton dancers are great. When they do that camera underneath the break dancers, like, I guess they were on a glass floor or something, that was pretty, I thought that was pretty cool. And then they do an overhead shot of just people helicoptering their legs and slow-mo for too long. Guys, I'm not going to lie. I took break dance lessons at the YMCA. What? What? Barry the lead? Oh, I had like, we would sit in my house and I would put down cardboard. And we would watch Magnum PI. And when a practice break dancing moves, I would break dance in fifth and sixth grade in the halls at my elementary school. We would all break dance. We would break dance at bar and butt mits because it was hot. OK. I'm going to say full little Greek boy mustache. Miami vice style clothes at a bar mitspa. Break dancing. Do you remember any of those moves? Oh, no, not at all. I'm going to say something and you might be surprised about it. I would get hurt immediately. Yeah. So I'm not a huge fan of the form break dancing. Wow. OK, cool. Yeah, you are. I mean, you mean my art form? Do you mean my craft? OK. Interesting. Go ahead. But I guess I'm curious, like, what I will. I will. Oh, for the record, I hate musicals. That's fine. That's fine. I just feel like I'm curious what happened in those classes. Because to me, I always think it's just a bunch of gobbling up. The dancing of break dancing? Break dancing. I'm like, no, there's like real. I mean, even if this is something terrible, I'm saying right now. But there's like real technique and craft. Guys, as someone who I mentioned earlier recently learned to break dance for season two of Glow, it does actually take quite a bit of skill, June. I feel like there's a lot of isolation, body parts, isolation, and fluidity. Yes. Should I do the worm? Yeah. What? Yes. You think that's gobbledy-gug? You think this Danny McBride motherfucker is doing gobbledy-gug? I do. I do. You think that's gobbledy-gug? That's Danny McBride, Stone Cold, and then I'm like, no, no, no. Here's the thing. I feel like if I got myself into a state, if I got myself worked up enough, I could do now. Are you saying like, you believe June challenge accepting? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. New York City, bring your best. When we're there, break off. I could get there. June, are you saying, with no practice? Are you saying, with no practice? No practice. We are going to battle so hard. Wait, let me ask you this. So do you think that what was happening in Wild Wild Country was break dancing like they get so into it? That is actually a question. They got worked up into a state. Oh, where you can't help but like pop? Yes. And go. And lock. I dare you. I dare you. I'm not worried. I can do it. I'm trying to. We are going to battle. This myth only goes, I could do that. I could. All I know is that when we're next in New York, I want DJs. I want rappers. And I want two squares of linoleum. How did this go? How did this go? I will say, we did talk a little bit about the music before. It's worth mentioning that the theme song, peak number 48 in the hot 100 chart, and Lorenzo Lomas also got on the billboard 100 chart for the track, Fools Like Me. Both got in there in 1984, people. That is very depressing. Yeah. And 1984, is that when this came out? Yes, this one came out in 1984. The same year, breaking. Yup. Breaking 2. Electric Bougaloo. Beat Street and Body Rock came out. But here's the interesting thing. Breaking and breaking 2 same year. Yeah. Wow. I remember I had the Beat Street record that had a pull out poster of break dance moves in the record. Yeah. I mean, breaking 2 is my, I love that movie. Oh, yeah. That was the best. But there are no real moves, aren't there? Oh, really close. Wow. Wait, what did you say? Wow. What did you say? Wow. Reddit. Reddit. Let's get this going. Wow, I don't feel like there are moves. You just get out there, you go, and whatever happens happens. Oh, no. June, you couldn't say the same. Couldn't you say the same about the first cutting him? Couldn't you say the same? He's just starting and going. It looks like gobbledy-gook. I'm looking at you, Martha Graham. I'm looking at you twilight, Thorpe. No. I'm looking at you. That type of modern dance. No, no, no. That type of modern dance, like, I don't think I could do successfully. I think I could do this. All right, I am pulling up. Super dancer. One of the best break dancers, according to YouTube. Let's see if you feel the same way about that. OK, all right. I will say those are the moves I learned at the YMCA. All right. So I'm going to make a quick disclaimer. So I think that I can do the break dancing moves in body rock. Yes. Yes. I think I could do those easily. Oh, man. Well, I can't wait till we have a break off. With any, you know what, June, I think you suffered the same fate as Chilly. You saw the easy route of break dancing and the fame went to your head. And what's next going to be you're going to say, like, you want a cup of folders? Oh, my God. When Chilly is seen being his most like dick, as she's like, cup of folders with the tight. And you know that that's the exact same line his mother says to him earlier in the movie. There's a number of instances where Chilly says lines that other people have said to him throughout the movie. So when she's watching TV, she says a cup of folders would be nice. And then he says it later. Can we just talk about that whole sequence after Chilly has sex with Sheila from a chorus line? And that sex included, I wanted to queeving the break of the class. We can start with the sex scene. And then we definitely have to talk about his walking down the street and look at speaking straight to camera. Whoa. That was crazy. His leather jacket like strut, like I read online that he ripped 25 collars off of that jacket from popping it so hard. Well, he popped the collar every cut. Let's listen to the post sex trench coat. Well, you, I don't even know what this is. What is this? It's apparently a very popular cut in Europe right now. He says, I thought I was going to say what is the outfit? I'm saying, what is this sequence where he starts to straight up Ferris Buellering the movie? I thought it was like a commercial break in the middle of the movie. I was like, oh, yeah. This is like a 1984. It made me uncomfortable. Don't talk to me. You're like, it was like, can he see us? Yeah. It's like when you make eyes on that with a performer or like. Does he know I'm jerking off? Uh. All right. Just at the number of popping of the collars? Not a commercial. You think it's a commercial. It doesn't make any sense of what this is. It could end with, so come on down to Wilson leather. And I'd be like, cool man, I will. The only leather that will strand 20 pops of your collar and the guaranteed. I like to think that the director was really, that was his super creative moment. Like, we'll get him through the window with a car as it rolls down and like, you know, down from the fire escapes. It's very art. I mean, and that's the thing about this director. I feel like the angles are very music video, but the putting it together as a movie is where it got fishy. Yes, yes. Like, by the way, I do like the art, like when he's with the, you know, this woman, this. She's an artist, like her apartment. I just noticed in the background is a paint platform is their bed. Like, it's something that you would build to like paint like a ceiling. It's like a paint platform. And like, and that's the bed. And it's in the corner. I was like, cool man, she's an artist. She's sitting on a high, a high level paint pet, but paint platform. And also him smoking weed seems so like really taking it in. But the sex scene, so they, you know, this is. Ha, ha. You know, the zippers, the pointless zippers. So many zippers. He's like enveloping her, like tweaking her. See, unzips. The double poo zipper, the infamous double poo. There's a sexual move that is to unzip her breast pockets. Well, like she's. And then she has to unzip the main jacket. herself, because he did nothing. Also, I'm just, I'm just now noticing, are the windows painted? Yes. As I'm saying, it's choosing an artist. This is hard everywhere. She can't stop. So they're like having sex dancing. And then he takes off as weed. And then he's immediately naked. He's in like a jumpsuit that he only half takes off. But this definitely is not wearing underwear. No underwear. And it's a rough scene. It was a rough scene for me to watch. The 15 times I saw it. This is like, this is what sex is, right? Yeah, don't you just wave your arms? Just let's make a couple of squealing lines. And then lowering her to the floor. And then standing and looking off into the distance. I mean, he really also presents his body. She still has her clothes on. And you know he's completely naked. Yeah. And with a massive heart on. Oh, totally. And massive. Wow, massive, Paul. Massive. All right, man, be cool. Massive. Oh, and he's just got this rock hard horse cock. Oh, OK, sheer, what's up? I say, I say massive because I don't believe that Chile is ever not erect. OK. He is all right. Paul, I'd like to see the rest of your notebook pages, please. Well, you could see there are ball drawings. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chile. Some drawings of different pants and just things. And then there's, I don't know, this is, I mean, this is like, yeah, I mean, some of my bothers is of what like, Chile's cock and balls look like. Oh. Oh, man. Chile's got those cum gutters. Where these massive heart on, T.M. Paul's year. I did. I do have a, I did like, kind of, a thought of what a cock ring would look good on Chile, like different cock rings. Oh, you know, he's got that big, thick, veiny cock. Chile. I'll let the people from London take a look at it. They can verify. OK. June. So it's a June. And um... I would... Ah! Ah! June's gone now. In a lot of ways, it seems like maybe she's just Donald's whore, but I would argue. Okay! And you know, Donald's caught, by the way, not as massive as Chili's. Yeah, oh, Paul, did you want to run down your cock list size for the present place in the month? Great cock, easy, excellent cock. Parents not so great, but he knows how to use it. Jammah! Works for him. And then, of course, Snake. Of course. Oh, man. Listen, I do believe that Claire... I don't think she's a kept woman. I don't know, though. I mean, I did... You know, when she's working out the moonwalk in her part... I did feel like she is leading a creative life. And there was something, and she's partying. And I was very interested in that lifestyle. Look, you didn't let me finish. I'm sorry. But what is it that you argue that she is actually in a power position with Donald and Terrence more than anyone? Like seemingly give her whatever she wants. And I would like to say that her performance at the end of the movie is so much better... Oh, okay. ...than anything Chili ever does. Oh, my gosh. ...and they're watching it and they're like, she's ripping off Chili. I was like, is she...? She's doing it better. That's her doing it because she's good. She's covering smooth talker. Yeah. Or whatever the fuck that song was. Yeah. And it is so much better. It's so good. It seems like a different song. And she's doing like, she can't do the break dancing. She's just doing amazing dancing. I loved her. Well, let's see what you all thought about this film. We'll go out here for the newly titled segment of the show, Double Takes. This is your Double Take moment here. All right, sir. Your break dancing name and your question. I think probably just like privileged, untalented white guy. That would be your break dancing name. Yeah, I'd go by it. I was constantly confused by the ages of all these characters in the room. Like, I feel like it opens and they're doing like what high schoolers would do. They're like tagging this thing. And then later, and then they're running out the child. And later, it's revealed that like, she's a doctor, which makes no sense. Like, how old are you? Also, like, is Claire 30 or 80? Like, I have no idea. Regardless, she looks great. She looks great. She looks great. Anybody over here? Anybody over here? All right. It's like, here. Here. Come here. Come here. All right. From the middle of the aisle. He's starting to lean a doctor, a full doctor. No, I think she was a nurse or just like a clerk. Yeah, I thought her work was more administrative. Yeah. That's a better way to say it. I'm really at this point. I feel like she's maybe an orange. Ma'am? Maybe she's an RN. Well, an RN's a very, like, important position. You said it the most. I mean, RN is that's. I'm not trying to take away apologies to. My mother was an RN. It's to be a registered nurse. It's no fucking joke. You're a biomedical training, Meg. She's probably, then she's probably a doctor. I don't know. All right, ma'am, you're a break dancing name and your question. Well, I feel like now it has to be like, doctor break or something. But I didn't understand why they couldn't get in. Like, his friends couldn't get in. But then in the final scene, all his friends are in the club. No idea. Right. They're on the list. I used magic put them all on the list. Cool. So at the end, it was like a huge event, right? That magic tells them about it. And I also was confused as to why that's happening at Terence's club. Like, because it was Chile's idea. Oh, it was his idea. Chilean had the idea to have like a, what's it called? Stravaganza. Rap Stravaganza. That they then decided to do. But then they kicked Chile out, but they did it anyway. Can I also say in that moment, no one's going to care about this. But Donald, the character, doesn't really speak the whole movie, even though he's like this all-powerful guy, which I kind of was like, hey, Terence, maybe you could have mentioned that to that old guy was that was hanging out. And until the very end of the movie, when they're like, get him out of here. And his voice is like, what? He has the highest pitch. I know what I was expecting. Oh, maybe they cut all his lines, because. But by the way, they keep that stand identified. They keep that stare down between Chile and Donald. Like, I was like, wow, this is still going on. Donald is always in a tuxedo. He's never known. How else would we know he was rich? That's true. Sir, you're break dancing. Name your question. My break dancing name would be KilaWat. My question is. No further questions. I don't know if June is a child labor expert, but I was concerned about magic working at the club late at night. And his supervisor is his senior old sister? Good question. So magic's age too, though, wasn't in question to me, because there were certain shots where I was like, oh, he's nine. And then there were other shots of him where I was like, is he 18? I wasn't totally sure how old magic was. I think probably closer to nine. I would say like 12. Like, I would put him at like, you know, like. Look great for his age. Yeah. Oh, he looked great. He looked great. I think we all look great. Magic looked great. Sir, you're break dancing name your question. Super white. And there were so many lines of dialogue in this movie that were completely unintelligible. And not just like, not pointless ones. Like, just get here. Intimately, he's intimately like in their face to face with his girlfriend. And he's like, eh, girl. It's a real, it's a real. And look at him. No, it's a cut scene. I agree with you. There is a lot of bad sound recording. It's the only movie that I noticed rain on a camera lens ever when they're walking on the docks. They're like, there's rain on the lens. Never seen that. And there's also terrible lighting in like the last half of the last third of the movie has like, is occurs mostly in just darkness. There are so many times I watch this on my computer where I kept on like, training get the brightness up. And I was already at max. Well, again, we can't fault the transfer. Because if this was the proper 4K treatment that we all want. Oh, listen, I'm watching it in 240p on a fucking YouTube window, just like put a bullet in my head. Not only do I have to watch this piece of shit, I have to watch it in low res. Twice? And they make me. They're making me do it twice. It's crazy. On a dial-up modem? All right, man, you're a break dancing name and you're question. Chili's parenthetical, actually the restaurant. So Little Luigi is actually a Renee Elizondo, who is married to Janet Jackson on the down low. And I'm wondering if it's a... Allegedly, allegedly. Allegedly. If his association with this movie was enough to keep it down and buried under the... Or is the reason why they're together because he was in this movie? I mean, yeah, it's marrying into body rock is a very rare thing. Yes, sir, your break dancing name, your question. Break dancing name is just a lot of shoulders. LAUGHTER And question, and I think the answer is yes, do you think working on this movie might make someone want to change their career path? Fair question. Do you know something we don't? Oh, hold on. I posit that the director of photography of this movie saw a business owner using his power, abusing it for sexual gain, changed his career path from DP to federal prosecutor because the director of photography of this movie is called Robert Mueller. LAUGHTER Amazing. It's a long walk. Wow. It's a long walk. Oh, my God. I don't know. They seem to have appreciated it. A medium on it. That is good work to find out the DP. You know, we mentioned a rap strap again. But you said it's Robert Mueller, not Robert Mueller. There's a lot of people out in the opening credits. LAUGHTER There's an... He said there was an oomline in the opening credits. It could have also just been the way it buffered. It could may not have been a oomline. The tagline of this movie was a rap strap against a movie with dynamic music exclamation point, spectacular dance sequences exclamation point. That is the tagline. So if you were to rent body rock or see it, 48% of Rotten Tomatoes. Not that bad. Not bad. Not bad. For a movie that's essentially impossible to find in high res, I'm amazed. Budget, we don't know opening weekend, though, in 1984, it made $630,000. LAUGHTER And the domestic gross was 1.6 million, which based on everything I'm seeing, I feel like that was a success. Yeah. If you told me it cost them $18,000 to make this movie, I would believe you. Well, a lot of it appears to just be b-roll that they stole of them walking on the streets of New York. Well, now here is something interesting. So the top three movies of 1984, Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, and Temple of Doom. This movie came in, oh, this movie was beat by rhinestone, streets of fire, and runaway, the things that we've done in the show. Great. And it beat nothing. So maybe it was a little bit lower. Yeah, so that's what we know about. Those are the stats of body rock. But you know what? We certainly had an opinion about this movie, but we don't have the only opinion. It is now time for second opinions. I watch movies, and it's all I can do on Amazon. I read all the reviews. These films are awesome. I want to tell you what I thought. Five stars is all I got. Second opinions. Don't you want to read my Amazon reviews? Second opinions. Don't let it slip away. Second opinions. I only want to share them with you. You might agree with me today. Yeah. Give it up for Trish. Give it up for Trish. Yeah. Trish. Pilling it. Great job, Trish. You have the best audience in the house. People out here in costume. You guys are in costume out there. Great costumes. I love it. Very rarely do we get people in full costumes. Do you have some chest hair bursts out there, too? All right. Yep. What's on your back? Stand up. Turn around. Whoa. It says chili. He's got a chili jack. He listed a number of power-pots. Really? That jacket's actually very big in London right now. Can I ask you a question? Are you prepared to break dance? No. You cannot break this. But you don't get a little rental loan. I was going to give you a shot. I was going to give you your shot, man. You're one shot to make it in the biz of breaking. We got to bring you up here when we take pictures at the end. Just have you facing your, yeah, we got to see that jacket. All right. So here's the thing, people. This movie is hard to find, right? So Amazon is not full of reviews and the ones that were five stars are clearly facetious. You know, so then they get really angry, too. It's like from Peter O'7 who titles his review. Lomas is an idiot or knows who just a doctor knows who says body yuck. So not really a great world there for that. But I do have a review that I pulled from IMDB. So this one is pretty great. It's one a little bit longer than most, but we can stop and start. In the fine tradition of early hip hop culture films such as Rappin, Breakin, Breakin 2, Beat Street, Wild Style, Style Wars, Not to mention Mix Blood, Alphabet City, and even Gloria, although definitely more akin to the first four films mentioned, Body Rock is more than a worthy companion to those well-known films. Chili D is a kid, question mark, from the New York streets who doesn't have a lot of money, but he has a big dream to make it big with his crew of dancers and rappers, the Body Rock crew. Through some street-wise tenacity as well as a Lucky Breaker 2, Chili cheesers dream, but at what cost? He stops keeping it real and starts spending all of his time with these uptown snobs for getting his downtown roots. He even moves out of his old neighborhood and into a ritzy laugh with his new snobby lady, causing a riff between him and his true love, not to mention alienating the entirety of his once beloved Body Rock crew. Will Chili lose his soul and become a sellout? Or will he connect with his roots and pop and lock his way into glory? Everything about Body Rock is great. The music is infectious, toe tapping and fun, assuming you don't jump out of your seat and start breaking right there on the floor. Which actually maybe because there wasn't a whole bunch of rap music at the time and compasses his a wide variety of genre, there's rap, dance, new wave and he's in power pop represented. And then it goes on to talk about the the the the fashions and the dancing and it goes the little boy magic gets some great moves off and is very charming, especially when he's teaching chili how to dance, including the fan favorite sit down dance. Also the dancer and chili's crew that looks like Reno 911's Thomas London gives it all he's got and proves once and for all you could be a middle age white guy with a wife and kids and a mustache and still lay down some funky moves. And then it says New York business review is three pages and it's we're on the last page it's broken down to sections the sections I just read were music, fashion and now we're on New York City locations. Keeping it street there are a lot of New York locations that captured all in their 80s glory and it says you can even see billboards for romancing the stone playing in time square. Great. And then okay this is the final line here. In the opening of the film when the body rock crew are dancing their way across the street to the spray painting and subway cars to the dance sequences to the training sequences to Chili's downfall where it becomes a pot smoking low life to the final rap strap against which is basically the whole movie you can't just say to to to to to to to from the beginning of the movie and he and Jones finds that thing to when he goes back to school to the moment where he goes finds the other thing to go over here. It's the movie just to describe the movie. That's awesome especially if you're in 80s freak like me you have a lot to feast on with the underrated body rock. Don't just watch it tonight. Live it tonight. Woo! Five stars. That's great life advice. That is creatively adding a backstory for the man with the mustache. We don't know that he's married with kids right? Yeah. We don't know maybe. Maybe there's a line that we don't know. We can't. Wow. He met. Ellie are you mad at me? I'm fine. What? Oh god. Are you sure you're okay? Everything's fine. Oh. Oh no. Um, final thoughts. Final thoughts. Anyone any final thoughts of things we have not covered things you wanted to talk about that we get a chance to? I just want to say that in the second song, it sounds like something very specific to say as a final thought. But it's been on my mind. Of course. Um, that the movie starts with the body rock song and then it goes into a song about graffiti and they reference Shakespeare and Moses? I wrote that down. And the line about Shakespeare is, have you heard about Shakespeare? He wrote a lot of good stuff. And as brother Moses was all right, he wrote some good stuff. And they rhyme good stuff with good stuff. Yeah. That was pretty. That's my final thought. That's a great one. A great one indeed. June, any final thoughts? I mean, I know I've said some things about the form of break dancing tonight. In thinking about it further and like having a couple minutes to reflect on it, I feel like I want to amend my statement from before and from earlier. I think with the exception of magic's moves in this film, I could do the rest of... I just want to make that clear. So magic is a real dancer and everybody else is just doing gobbledygook? Gobbledygook. And if I was stated, I could easily do it. If I got myself into the right state. You have to go to a wow-wow country, get in that zone. If I got worked up enough, I could do it. Jason? With the exception of magic. I, you know, this was a real roller coaster for me. You know, it really hit a lot of my nostalgia buttons just for my old break and days, you know? You know, I feel like I came here and had my first, what I would consider my first art form maligned by one of my dearest friends. And I want to say something. I want to speak to that. Because I do what I feel badly about is I do think that for a lot of little girls, they have so many outlets to dance. You know, they have jazz, they have a ballet. And I feel like for boys, they don't have many outlets. Yeah. And at the time you were coming of age, break dancing was a way for you to express yourself. Was a way to express. I know. I was 12, 13 years old. Wanting to express how artistically expressed how I felt and how I was engaging with the world in my tiny mustache and trying to figure out the way my body was changing. And everyone at those bar and bat mitzvahs and go. Just trying to figure girls up behind the dumpsters. Unsuccessfully. In a pink colored, not even colored shirt, it doesn't matter. There were espadrilles involved. Guys, Miami Vice was a thing. I also want to say that I have a correction and omission from something I said earlier. I said Bill Moses was a dancer. I think I meant Bill T. Jones. Yeah. There's that. Look. Before I get a bunch of raps, I mean on the street. Absolutely. I wanted to bring up one thing that I thought was interesting. At the end when Chile breaks into the club for the rap strap, Aganza. The audience in the club is all on board. They're clapping and cheering. And then the music stops and then it's silent. And then his girlfriend, she does the one clap thing. Yeah, the slow clap. But you don't need a slow clap when the whole audience is on your side. Like, you didn't win the mold. Well, because they cut out the music. This was like now the crowd was going to create the beat. But I would like to point out again. It was very off beat. There were two different sets of claps. Yeah. So she starts like, blah, blah, blah. And then other people like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was just like, so it turned into applause. Oh, I didn't realize that you was trying to start the beat. Yeah, that's what I thought too. But it didn't matter. Because then it turned into give us back the music and break, which was the chance that the audience then starts doing to get Terence to turn back them. Oh, god. Well, I'm going to say, I don't know that I would recommend people watch this video. Well, that was a cool thing. No, no, absolutely not. I would say not. No. I would definitely listen to the song Vanishing Boys on repeat, because I thought it was great. Or just the body rock theme. Body rock. I made by the soundtrack. If I can find it, if there's a Spotify playlist, I might listen to it. I would listen to this music and break dancer on my house just because it's a valid form of expression. And I mean, I would do the moves that I learned. That are real moves. I mean, listen, to me, it was always like, I'm going to say something that's going to be really harsh. But whenever I see someone break dancing, I feel embarrassed for them. Oh. Did you feel embarrassed for that break dancer I just showed you? Wow. Did you feel embarrassed for them break? No, I don't define what he was doing as break dancing. Okay. What is he doing? I mean, break dancing is like getting on the floor like a turtle. Like you're a turtle that can't flip over and just spinning around. So you would play. It's harder than it looks. You would play break dancing with helplessness? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I do. I'm stuck down here. I can't turn over. I want to make this clear. It's not that I don't, you know, I'm not someone who loves like high art and ballet and all that stuff. I see where this is going. And I wanted to spell that myth right away. I love where break dancing came from and all that. I just, I find it unpleasant to watch. So are you just saying like this type of break dancing? This is I'm going to play another. I can do that. That's cool. Look, I'm not going to argue there's a level of difficulty that is absolutely, absolutely. Oh, that was your breaking and judging. Yeah. It's not very good. And that's where I want to say that when you try to learn stuff like this, then you realize the value because it's very difficult. So cool. Because something is difficult doesn't mean that it's good. Oh. Oh. That's. Wow. That's. And that's why I'm thinking. Oh, that's wow. That's, and that's why I'm being here. I'm not gonna lie, that's a T-shirt. That's a T-shirt. You got three T-shirts that I've been available to. Now what, T-public? Wow, all right, so I would recommend you do watch this movie. Boy oh boy. Wow, all right, let's get to plugs. How's the one you want to talk about anything? Oh, Glow Season 2 featuring me, Break Dancing, a very small amount. All episodes on Netflix June 29th. Very exciting, very exciting. That's very exciting. Well, Grace and Frankie season four is on Netflix right now. No break dancing. I've got nothing to plug, but I do want to say, Tom King, Mitch Jarrett, I see what you're doing out there. I don't like it. Get back to work. That's what I'm saying. Really? And also, I wanted to tell you guys to subscribe to. I'm doing a podcast mini series with Amy Nicholson called Unspooled, where we are watching the AFI's top 100 movies. It's the converse of this show. We are actually watching good movies, which I found to be incredibly refreshing. Like, whenever I have to watch one of those movies, it's like, this is great. And I feel smarter and better and lighter afterwards. So that is my cleanse, and this is my junk food. So we are doing that. You can subscribe right now wherever you listen to podcasts. And that is all a big thanks to Avril Halley. You cut all these amazing clips. Nick Kylie did all the amazing research for a movie that is practically unavailable. So that is great. Everybody up in the booth, Kelly Alto. And thank you all for coming.
