Glory1 Chronicles 23So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel. And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges: Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments w...2021-11-1009 min

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega9. Love YourselfThis 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.

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega8. Honestly Just Watch Dirty Dancing AgainHiiiii 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...2021-08-0337 min

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega7. Salsa and the Art of Motorcycle SafetyThis 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!

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega6. Cynthia Rhodes for PresidentBreaking 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...2021-06-221h 44

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega5. Ferris Bueller, Chaos DemonI'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...2021-06-021h 38

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega4.5. Bonus Nonsense!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.

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega4. A Subtle DweezilJust 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...2021-05-131h 21

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega3. It's St. Elmo's Fire.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...2021-04-271h 19

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega2. Like Spit on a GriddleSurprise! 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.

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny OrtegaXanadu. Xanadu. Xanadu.Wow, y'all. Episode 1 is finally here, and we're talking about Xanadu, Kenny Ortega's first film credit! Starring Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, and Michael Beck, this film was meant to reinvigorate the movie musical which it honestly.... did not. But it did bring us a lot of great music by ONJ and the Electric Light Orchestra, and of course, it brought us Kenny! Skyler Ross is my absolutely delightful guest, so come through and discover how many times I can refer to the script of Xanadu as "the text" (seriously it's so many)(can't take the theater major out of...2021-03-301h 02

Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny OrtegaThe Trailer!Hi, friends! Thanks for taking this journey with me! Keep an eye out for episode 1 in the very near future.

Above The Basement - Boston Music and ConversationEpisode 124 - Zina Ellis of CinderellaEvery so often we get the opportunity to catch a musical coming through Boston and then sit with the actors or musicians for a chat. We were especially lucky to have a conversation with the lovely Zina Ellis who plays the Fairy Godmother in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA at the beautifully restored Emerson Colonial Theatre. We saw the show the night before talking with Zina and had a fantastic time. The show is a fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess. Hilarious an...2018-12-2126 min
