#134 Breakin' (1984) Bad Movies Rule

Lace-up your high tops, folks! We're about to journey back to 1984 and witness the classic/catastrophe that is "Breakin'" (1984). Directed by Joel Silberg, who I'm sure has lots of breakdancing experience, this film doesn't have a single cardboard dance floor or Adidas tracksuit.

We will break down the dance moves that somehow pass as the pinnacle of '80s street style. With a great soundtrack but a plot thinner than the spandex in an '80s workout video, "Breakin'" is a time capsule of dance moves and fashion choices that we thought were cool at the time.

But here's the burning question: Does "Breakin'" transcend its retro charm to become a genre-defining classic, or is it just a dance disaster that time forgot? Grab your boombox and join us as we breakdance our way through the laughs, delivering our verdict on Breakin!
