It’s time to jump back, cut loose, and kick off those Sunday shoes! Just like every teen-centered TV show and every teen-centered ‘80s movie, we’re going to the Prom, and our Prom is less Cinderella, more Footloose. When we’re not busy gushing about how great Adam Brody is in Gilmore Girls, we’re gushing about how great Kevin Bacon is in this dance movie classic. We dig into the real story that inspired the movie, the crazy stories behind how the songs were written, and the terrible title this movie almost had. And how exactly does a law against dancing tie in with the Stars Hollow and Chilton Proms? Oh, don’t worry, we’ve got that covered, too.

Other pop culture we ref: Peyton Place, Fame, Xanadu, Dire Straits, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Meg Ryan, Dolly Parton, Ready or Not, The OC, Sundance Film Festival, Lord of the Rings, Dan in Real Life
