Flashdance (1983)

Every day, she works in a man's world. Every night, she dances through the universe that is her dream.

It’s summer, and that can only mean one thing…Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest is back! And this time we’re pumping up the volume with our fourth installment: Now THAT’S What I Call Dance Movies! We’ve got everything from strippers to ballet dancers…and that’s just Flashdance.

I’m your host and secret welder by day, Dave, and joining me as we embark on a summer long journey through the hottest and sexiest dance films ever made are fellow cinephiles and Mawby’s Bar regulars, Ryan and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.

Listen as we discuss Flashdance, the first Jerry Bruckheimer / Don Simpson joint; I turn into a cartoon character as Jennifer Beals causes my eyes to pop out of my head and my pores to profusely sweat; and finally, we salute the owner of Mawby’s Bar and his hands off approach to the dance numbers, as his dancers single handedly perform MTV-level music videos on stage.

That’ll do it for this track. But the hits keep coming, because when Hot Dave’s Summer Film Fest Vol. 4: Now That’s What I Call Dance Movies! continues, we’ll be strutting through New York while eating a double slice of pizza with Saturday Night Fever. You won’t wanna miss it!
