We're rebroadcasting this episode (originally our episode 64) in preparation for next week when we tackle a two-in-one reference, involving Fame. Enjoy!

We’re gonna live forever, just like Michel and Debbie Allen! We’re talking about paying in sweat in the various versions of Fame. How did the characters in Fame pay in sweat? Did the cast really go on to achieve Fame? And how are Luke, Lorelai, and Nicole paying in sweat at the Independence Inn? Plus, we check in on the real school that inspired the story and what modern movies it connects with.

Other pop culture we ref: Liza Minnelli, Baby Driver, The O.C., Veronica Mars, How I Met Your Mother, Footloose, Step Up, High School Musical, Raise Your Voice, Bunheads, Jennifer Aniston, Awkwafina, Al Pacino, Grey’s Anatomy, That’s So Raven
