"(Updated) Every episode is so rich I don’t mind relistening. This breakdown is great. I totally get why these episodes take so long to make and I love them to death. If you have no idea what I’m talking about go watch Dirty Dancing and then download Butt Out, Baby!"

"This is a podcast for those who love the film but also for people interested in storytelling, film, and craft. Ellie is reading from the screenplay, which gives interesting insight into the story’s original intentions. She breaks the rules with this podcast because she understands them so well. It feels like an audio pop-of book of original music, interviews with her family and friends, and sharp analysis that makes you realize everything about this fun movie was intentional, every moment can be explored. This is an ode to the film if you want it to be. But it’s also so much more."
