Horror Movie Night Episode 149: Slashdance (1989)

We may not all agree on wrestling and its entertainment value as an art form on this show, but we sure as hell agree that Netflix’s GLOW was damn good television, and have been eagerly waiting for season 2 to drop. In preparation, Scott finally unleashed the most bloodless, tame pick ever on Matt and Brian, featuring some of the actual Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling in starring roles, 1989’s Slashdance! While it’s not a good film by any measure, and the weakest aerobics killer movie we’ve ever seen, there is a certain charm to it, and by its actresses’ pedigree alone worth talking about. The budget didn’t cover live goldfish, so there was likely no coke on hand for the writing, filming or editing of Slashdance, and what’s left is a serviceable made-for-tv cop drama cut into 40 minutes of dance rehearsals. Let’s get in shape and possibly choke someone with their own lasso while they sing You Are My Sunshine because really, these auditions ain’t cuttin it for Horror Movie Night!
