19. Footloose (1984)

(A Ben & Tom episode - prepare for bone dry humour and challenges to the absurd.)

"Ecclesiastes assures us... that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to laugh... and a time to weep. A time to mourn... and there is a time to dance."

Kick off the Sunday shoes! Kevin Bacon quick steps onto our screens in this musical turd.

The Bacon sets out to liberate the good people of Bomont, one gryate of the hips at a time. 

When he's not tractor duelling to the death with Chuck, asking his stunt double to somersault around a dilapidated trainyard or escaping Hellfire and Brimstone from The Reverend  Moore, Bacon has to deal with the rather annoying Ariel and her suicidal tendencies!

The cute coupling of Chris Penn and SJP is shunted in favour of watching the hapless Chuck and Bacon fight for the affections of Miss Reckless abandonment; do us all a favour and leave her to the train next time Bacon!

Anyhoooo

Wifebeater check, arse hugging jeans check, cock and balls front and centre, affirmative!

Let's getting dancing!
