Welcome to Reel Relationships, the podcast that explores the central relationship of a movie we love (or remember thinking we love!); what makes the relationship work, what do we love about the characters as individuals, and ultimately, do they make it, or is their love destined for the cutting room floor?In this episode, we talk about Johnny Castle (great name, by the way!) and Baby (Francis) Hausman as the then 17-year-old soon-to-be Mount Holyoke freshman gets a dose of real life as she summers with her family in the Catskills in the summer of 1963. With a searing social commentary, amazing soundtrack, and the dirtiest of dancing, it's no wonder this movie became an instant classic and a staple of sleepover movie sessions in the late 80s and early 90s!Enjoy as we discuss the love that forms between Johnny and Baby, and find out whether they truly had the time of their lives and spent their life dancing to Otis Redding together!Special thanks to Moth Patrol for the original intro audio and graphics; head over to YouTube to find more original music!
