John Travolta got an Oscar nomination for his star-making role as Tony in "Saturday Night Fever," the low-budget blockbuster of 1977. Decades later, as we look through the disco lights and dance-floor fog, we find unchecked racism, drug use, and sexual assaults. Is this a dance movie or a downer? Is Tony good enough for any of his dance partners? And what SNF scene scarred co-host Christina for life back when she was just 10 years old? The Old Roommates double up on their pizza slices and re-watch Gene Siskel's favorite movie. Listen to this.
Bonus content including Brian and Christina's favorite song from the soundtrack available at patreon.com/oldroommates! Follow Old Roommates on social media @OldRoommates. Email us at oldroommatespod@gmail.com and please give us a rating or review! Thanks for listening!
