The OST Party

Episode 37: Flashdance


Listen Later

It's one of the biggest movie soundtracks of all time. It's the quintessential movie of the MTV generation. It's one of the most parodied dance sequences ever made. It's every 80s style and fad boiled down into one smoking hot package. It's FLASHDANCE!

Join us this week as we discuss the soundtrack, an album featuring tons of 80s synthpop, a song that sounds copyright infringingly close to "Call Me" by Blondie, and a song that may or may not have been originally written about a serial killer. We've got Irene Cara, Donna Summer, Joe Esposito, Giorgio Moroder, used hamburgers and a whole lot more!
