We had the time of our lives - and we owe it all to you. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia as we're heading to Kellerman's for summer camp in Dirty Dancing, a film with magical powers over women (and some men) for its 35th anniversary. We're hoping to avoid chickening out of the big lift in our 136th anniversary as we discuss:

• Who almost played Johnny Castle but screen tested terribly against Jennifer Grey
• Why we think Jennifer Grey didn't have the career of Sarah Jessica Parker
• How much does this film line up with Marvelous Mrs Maisel (season 2) and why might that actually not be an accident
• Is there a religious subplot in this film that no-one talks about regarding Baby's father's disapproval of Johnny Castle
• How good a job does this film do using the theatre of the mind to shock us in the abortion subplot
• Is this the best Patrick Swayze film ever?
• What other film do we know Baby's father from on the pod? How about the social convener?
• We need your help to settle a 3 way disagreement on the film?
• Whether or not Dirty Dancing is the Best Film Ever
