  • Summary

  • This week we travel back to the 1930s: a time when people solved all their troubles withs singing a dancing, a time when iconic songs were created, and a time when blackface was used with no thought about the repercussions. We are talking about the Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers led “Swing Time”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they discuss the technical aspects of dance, the catchy tunes, and just how pathetic the “Pop” character is. Also, this week Adam recommends “Drop Dead Gorgeous”, Britt recommends “The Happiness of the Katakuris” (currently on Midnight Pulp), and Joey recommends “Dirty Dancing” (available for rent on most major platforms). You can listen to us on Apple Podcast, Stitcher, Spotify, & Google Play.
