About this episode

The episode discusses the film SAVE THE LAST DANCE with guest Tamara Shevon, focusing on character motivations and critiques of the dancing.

This week we’re joined by special guest Tamara Shevon (@teemair) to talk about the early 2000s, dancing/romance flick SAVE THE LAST DANCE. We’re defending dead-beat dads, jealous ex-girlfriends and gun-toting best friends, but definitely NOT defending the kind-of-terrible dancing.
