Welcome back to The Stream, episode 36, the Jerome Bettis/ Wu-Tang Clan episode, and the 10th physically distanced episode. This episode we are joined by Sean Darrow @esdeez (The Bottom 5 Podcast) to help us dissect the craziness of our movie this week.

In our main review, we are talking about Thank God It's Friday, available on Amazon Prime. We also go over, What did Gian think was Homophobic? and What did Nadir think was Racist?

Thank God It's Friday is a 1978 musical disco comedy film directed by Robert Klane and produced by Motown Productions and Casablanca FilmWorks for Columbia Pictures. Produced at the height of the disco craze, the film features The Commodores performing "Too Hot ta Trot", and Donna Summer performing "Last Dance", which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1978. The film features an early performance by Jeff Goldblum and the first major screen appearance by Debra Winger. The film also features Terri Nunn, who would go on to fame in the 1980s new wave group Berlin. This would be one of several Columbia Pictures films in which the studio’s “Torch Lady” came to life in the opening credits, showing off her moves for a few seconds prior to the film’s start.
