Welcome to the very first meeting of the Grown-Ass Kids Club. This week, Andrea and Ryan kick off the new era by revisiting Dirty Dancing — the movie that taught us about love, classism, illegal abortions, and the undeniable sainthood of Jerry Orbach.

We talk nostalgia, unpack the social issues hiding in plain sight, take a character quiz to see who’s Baby and who’s the real villain, and spend an appropriate amount of time praising Jerry Orbach, patron saint of emotionally available fathers.

This week, Andrea and Ryan step into Disney’s forbidden zone — Escape From Tomorrow, the black-and-white fever dream filmed guerrilla-style in the parks.

They’ll unpack how this movie even exists, why it’s so unsettling, and what happens when you mix Disney magic with an indie film student’s therapy session.
