FAIR IS FAIR! This week, we're discussing the 1985 drama, The Legend of Billie Jean.

When Billie's brother, Binx, has his scooter stolen and destroyed by a gang of teen bullies, they go on a journey of vigilante justice to get the money to fix the scooter. Their adventures lead to shooting and wounding a man, going on the run, theft, evading police, breaking and entering, harboring a hostage, high speed chases, and getting involved with the law because of....a scooter. 

Join us to find out if it was all worth living on a mini golf course and risking jail time - FOR A SCOOTER - on this week's episode of So 5 Minutes Ago!

JUMP BACK! This week we're taking a look at the 1984 beloved masterpiece that is Footloose.

When city boy Ren McCormick moves to a small town, he discovers and that dancing and all forms of teenage fun have been outlawed by the...church? Preacher's daughter, Ariel, tries hard to get Ren's attention. Lots of guys in cowboy hats don't take kindly to Ren and his skinny ties. Ren decides a dance just might be the ticket to turning this town around, so he goes to a city council meeting and screams Bible verses in the preacher's face. 

Does Ren's dance plan work? Do they,  indeed, cut foot loose? Find out on this week's episode of So 5 Minutes Ago!

This week we're doing a deep dive on the 1989 classic Teen Witch.

"Frumpy" "nerd" Louise Miller learns that she'll gain witchy powers on her 16th birthday. Instead of using her powers to affect positive change, she uses them to get a new wardrobe, become popular, and win the heart of a 38 year old teen named Brad. Do her powers come with great responsibility? Does she learn a valuable lesson? No. But who cares about all that because the real reason we're all here is for that incredible "rap" battle in the middle of the movie.

TOP THAT!
