Highlights include a rundown of Footloose, fairytale knowledge gained primarily from Shrek 2, how (not to) pronounce the plural of octopus, a bare bones run down of Christian Indulgences, as many dancing puns we can make, and of course the forty day boogie fever that put Strausborugh on the historical maps.
