Sunbathing and Slaters: Reviewing 1985's The Legend of Billie Jean

Some legends need to be told, which is why we're putting the spotlight on this 1985 cult classic, The Legend of Billie Jean, starring Helen Slater and Christian Slater. In this episode, we discuss some of the main themes of this film, whether that's overprotective parents, mistreatment of women, or the young rising up and demanding respect. Later, we give the great Yeardley Smith the respect she deserves, from breathing life into some of the most lovable characters of the 1980s to voicing iconic animated legends. Finally, we give our British fans a lesson on the origins of the phrase "mammer jammer."
