Movie Review #25 - That's the Way of the World - Saturday Night Fever - Disco Fever - Thank God it's Friday - The Wiz - Skatetown USA - Can't Stop the Music

A decade under the influence

Don’t know who’s idea this was (it was mine) but today we review most of the disco movies out there, the Linda Blair one is coming as we couldn’t get a decent copy in time.

First your fearless crew takes on (That’s the way of the world 1975) a great Earth Wind and Fire movie that needs more Earth Wind and Fire, and more roller disco. Next up is (Saturday night fever 1977) Needed more of the Nanny and way less sexual assault. Omg, we’ll always have the soundtrack, listen, don’t watch. Onwards to (Disco fever AKA Jukebox 1978) With Casey Kasem and Fabian you can’t lose, right?

Moving along with (Thank god it’s Friday 1978) With Terri Nunn and Jeff Goldblum you can’t lose, for real this time!

Next we ease on down the road with (The Wiz 1978) a great film that suffered because too many rad people of color were on the soundstage at once. Enter Racism.

Next up we review a coked up Horshack and the greatest dance instructor ever in (Skatetown U.S.A. 1979) and I’m having the time of my life.

Finally 70’s movie fans, here’s one from 1980 (Can’t stop the music) which is technically true as I’ve had the song Magic Night stuck in my head for decades. But is it true that Leathermen don’t cry?

Ok we out, thanks so much for listening.
