Episode 162: The Red Shoes

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

For decades after its release, The Red Shoes remained the most popular dance film ever created, surely for the 20+ minute dream ballet sequence toward the middle of the film. But the rest of the movie’s plot, equally infuriating for its sexist love triangle and abuse apologia disguised as artistic genius, is a nightmare.
