JOIN THE OFFICIAL BLOCKBUSTING FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/blockbusting/ Jay (@DietJay) and Al (@AlBahmani) discuss Flashdance, the '80s classic that's less of a movie and more of an extended music video that got panned by the critics but became a popular, Oscar-winning hit. Along the way, these Texan boys get stuck in a classic dilemma: does the fact that the plot is thin and the characters are thinner keep this movie from being worth a watch? OH WHAT A FEELING!
