Description

"I'm no dame!"

65 years ago, a blonde small fry played by Sandra Dee picked up a surf board, showed the boys at the beach what she was made of, and completely changed the world. No, really. In honor of the anniversary of the teen beach movie that started it all, GIDGET, The Wives Colangelo are diving in deep and discussing the groundbreaking source material, how a teenage girl is responsible for popularizing surfing in the continental United States, and look at how unintentionally gay this movie is and has always been.
