Tune in and find out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full movie info below:<br \/><\/strong><em>Dirty Dancing<\/em> (1987) is a romantic drama directed by Emile Ardolino and stars Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Jerry Orbach, and Cynthia Rhodes. Set during the summer of 1963 at a Catskills resort, the film follows Frances &#8220;Baby&#8221; Houseman, a sheltered teenager who falls for dance instructor Johnny Castle while becoming involved in the lives of the resort&#8217;s working class staff. Made on a modest budget, the film became a surprise box office hit and a cultural phenomenon. Its soundtrack produced several hits, including the Academy Award winning song &#8220;(I&#8217;ve Had) The Time of My Life,&#8221; and helped cement the movie as one of the most recognizable romances of the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"1225\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong>Subscribe Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Android: <a title=\"Android\" href=\"android\/\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/android<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Apple\/iTunes: <a href=\"apple\" target=\"_blank\" rel= \"noopener\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/apple<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Help Support the Podcast<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Contact Us: <a href= \"contact\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/contact<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Commission Movie: <a href= \"support\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/support<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support with Paypal: <a href=\"paypal\" target=\"_blank\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/paypal<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support With Venmo: <a href=\"venmo\" target=\"_blank\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/venmo<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Merchandise: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Theme Song &#8211; Die Hard by Guyz Nite: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guyznite\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guyznite<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/directory.libsyn.com\/episode\/index\/id\/43662654\/tdest_id\/4706482\">Check out this episode!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week on Shat the Movies, we&#8217;re spending the summer at Kellerman&#8217;s with Dirty Dancing (1987), the romantic drama that turned Patrick Swayze into a sex symbol and made everyone think they could pull off that famous lift.
