9. Love Yourself

Season 1 · Episode 9

Tuesday, August 24, 2021 • Duration 06:12

This episode, I watched a foolish movie called "The Great Outdoors". I did not like it but it made $20 million so I don't feel bad about hating it. I'm sad to have such a blah episode before I go on hiatus, but c'est la vie. We'll be back next year to talk about Newsies, which is sure to be orders of magnitude more delightful than this movie. So stay tuned! But don't watch this movie.

I welcome comments on the movies we'll be talking about, as well as on the show itself! And if you feel like supporting me with a $ or two, you can do so through Anchor or Buy Me A Coffee. Thank you so much for your time! I'm serious, don't watch this movie.

8. Honestly Just Watch Dirty Dancing Again

Season 1 · Episode 8

Tuesday, August 3, 2021 • Duration 37:09

Hiiiii thanks for your patience! This episode is the shortest yet because it turned out that Shag (the film discussed this episode) was just not that inspiring to me! Oh, well! Like Dirty Dancing, Shag is a movie about sneaking around to dance with boys on vacation in the summer of 1963 and variously slimy Yale Men (tm), but Dirty Dancing is a much more delightful version of that. But we are completionists here at Breaking Free, so you'd better believe we're talking about it! If you like this movie, please let me know and we can have a Discourse. Anyway! Happy Tuesday to all!

7. Salsa and the Art of Motorcycle Safety

Season 1 · Episode 7

Tuesday, July 6, 2021 • Duration 49:32

This episode, I watched 1988's Salsa, an extremely silly movie with very few likable characters but very many excellent mullets and dances. I'm thrilled to be back on schedule with a normal/short episode! See if you can spot the part of the episode where I disappear for 6 minutes to research the history of motorcycle helmet laws. A truly chaotic film, but it does have a super-rare on-screen Kenny performance! Exciting times in Salsa-land. Check it out!

6. Cynthia Rhodes for President

Season 1 · Episode 6

Tuesday, June 22, 2021 • Duration 01:43:29

Breaking Free says vote in the New York primary if you can! Baby would want you to. This is the Dirty Dancing episode and the most political BFP ep yet, which may come as no surprise if you're really familiar with the movie. My subject matter expert this week is Sophie Nir, who knows this movie backwards and forward. It's always a delight to chat with people who can really get into the nitty-gritty of these films and expose their dark underbellies. We talk about everything from sexual politics to sexy dancing to the unsung icons of the movie (Cynthia Rhodes should be a household name!!). Next week, we dive back into some more obscure films, so consider the length of this episode as a fond farewell to this period of Kenny's work and not a sign of my inability to briefly recap anything :)

5.5. The Fight Club Theory (And More Ferris Bueller Bonus Chatter)

Tuesday, June 8, 2021 • Duration 19:05

The Ferris Bueller Bonus Ep has arrived! I hope you enjoy this extended chitchat/outtake content! Stay tuned for Dirty Dancing in the next week or so!

5. Ferris Bueller, Chaos Demon

Wednesday, June 2, 2021 • Duration 01:38:07

I'm so excited to (finally) bring you the Ferris Bueller's Day Off episode! Fittingly, I have two of my high school (and middle and elementary school) classmates as my guests! Resident Ferris Bueller Expert Carissa brings the facts, while the elusive and social media-less Maria comes through with an extremely Useful Critical Lens. And they both come through with the print sources. Honestly I'm just along for the ride. Another extra-long ep, but I feel like that's allowed when there are 3 people and when the movie is as iconic as Ferris Bueller. I suggest listening at 1.5x speed if you really want life to come at you fast.

4.5. Bonus Nonsense!

Friday, May 21, 2021 • Duration 04:51

Oh, friends, I have dug up the most coherent nuggets of the Pretty in Pink chat that didn't make the Main Episode cut, and I've cobbled them together into this lil bonus ep! It is hard out here for a simple solo podcastress, but hopefully you enjoy! I had to dig through my computer's time machine to find these clips, so please lend your li'l ears. Check the Insta for the accompanying photoshop, as per uzhje!

4. A Subtle Dweezil

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, May 13, 2021 • Duration 01:20:47

Just like Andie showing up to the prom, this episode is fashionably late! Zane Phillips and I chatted about Pretty in Pink for 2.5 hours, but I managed to get it down to a clean 1.5ish. There may be a bonus episode if I can overcome some File Troubles, but in the meanwhile, please enjoy the real deal as we talk about Kenny Ortega's brief but impactful number with Jon Cryer and note some of the resonant themes that show up in Kenny's later work. We also discuss strong lips, potential podcast merch, The Duckie Problem, and Dweezil Zappa. I'm extra thrilled to hear your thoughts and comments now that we're in the John Hughes chapter and hitting some films that are truly I for iconic!

3. It's St. Elmo's Fire.

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 • Duration 01:18:37

Exactly what it says on the tin: this is the St. Elmo's Fire episode! A film that you've actually heard of! Even though Kenny Ortega's work is only on screen for a few minutes, guest Jake Beckhard and I manage to talk about the movie for a good long time. We chat about saxophone care, the power of vintage Demi Moore, and how Rob Lowe and Ally Sheedy have '00s doppelgangers (Zac Efron and Emma Watson, respectively). Also the guiding question acronym has shifted once again. Here at Breaking Free, we are constantly learning and evolving. Or perhaps, coming of age.... how apropos.

Thank you so much for your time! I love you all very much even if Kevin thinks love is an illusion :)

2. Like Spit on a Griddle

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, April 13, 2021 • Duration 55:48

Surprise! It's episode 2! We're biweekly, babes! Today we're talking about One from the Heart, a little-known Francis Ford Coppola movie with choreography by the one and only Kenny Ortega. Spoiler alert: it is not a very good movie. Kenny's work is great, though! I offer some constructive criticism and thoughts on the themes in addition to clocking the body rolls where they appear. Y'know. The important stuff.
