Screenwriter Lauryn Kahn (Hulu's Fresh) joins to discuss the coming-of-age romance DIRTY DANCING starring Jennifer Grey, Patrick Swayze, and Jerry Orbach.

Listen to find out, plus to hear some classic diversions into Baz Luhrmann, Scrooged, Rodney Dangerfield, cotton candy grapes, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Brett Kavanaugh, Weekend at Bernie's, and much much more.
