Tiller RussellHOST
some people get a passport to the big life in the big world the all-access pass to the pivotal people and events of their era my amigo joe esterhouse is one of them he ate hungarian food with jimmy hendrix did the last interview with otis redding helped expose the myli massacre ran wild with hunter thompson and went to snake canyon with evil knievel who for the record he says was one horrible bastard And this was before he made a mountain of money in Tinseltown where he spatted with Sylvester Stallone, made a star of Sharon Stone, and declared war against Mike Ovitz.
Tiller RussellHOST
For the record, he also penned Flashdance, Basic Instinct, and Showgirls.
Tiller RussellHOST
Thus, it was with good reason he titled his memoir, Hollywood Animal.
Tiller RussellHOST
I've been wanting to make a film of all that madness for several years now.
Rachel FeltmanHOST
In other words, maybe seeing Spike skulk into a room on Buffy can simultaneously trigger both standard physical attraction, because, I mean, have you looked at a picture of James Marsters lately? And something deep-seated that tells us to sit up and pay close attention to the apex predator in our midst.
Rachel FeltmanHOST
I'm picturing my nervous system flooding itself with chemicals, a la that one scene in Flashdance.
Rachel FeltmanHOST
Another idea I've seen bandied about is that vampires are, generally speaking, just so evolutionarily fit that we can't look away.
Rachel FeltmanHOST
You might hear people mention the so-called dark triad personality traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.
ChrisHOST
And so Girls Aloud's version was released in December 2006, peaking at number four in the UK singles chart.
ChrisHOST
And the story goes that the original plan was to record a cover of What a Feeling from Flashdance for the Greatest Hits album.
ChrisHOST
But the girls did not agree with this plan.
ChrisHOST
And Sarah suggested, I think we're alone now instead.
Michael James BensonHOST
It's whatever.

Flashdance.

I mean, my gosh.

Maranda MobleyHOST
So she did Fairytale Theater.
Maranda MobleyHOST
She did the music video for Michael Cimbello's Maniac.
Maranda MobleyHOST
She was in Flashdance in 83, and she did something called My Bodyguard, which is she was uncredited as Clifford's friend.
Maranda MobleyHOST
So, yeah, this was her second cinema movie.
MeganHOST
I will say that apparently Kim Carnes recorded her own version of the themes of this theme song.
MeganHOST
She is a musician that is known for soundtracks like Flashdance and Spaceballs.
BrandonHOST
Hmm.
MeganHOST
Like the song that you probably know her from is Betty Davis Eyes, which I think was at the top of the Billboard charts this year, earlier this year.
SamanthaHOST
Do you want to tell everyone how you came dressed for the eighties party?
AngelaHOST
As Flashdance, of course.
AngelaHOST
Why would I not go as Jennifer Beale? You would just describe the outfit in
SamanthaHOST
Johannesburg and she decided to catch an Uber.
Chris HigginsGUEST
This is a guy who most people probably know, but let me go over this guy's filmography for you real quick.
Chris HigginsGUEST
This guy directed Flashdance, Indecent Proposal, Unfaithful, Fatal Attraction, Lolita, and then Jacob's Ladder.
Chris HigginsGUEST
Yeah, guy's got some range, I think.
Chris HigginsGUEST
Yeah,
TaviHOST
Like, I guess whatever Kevin Bacon does.

Rick ToddHOST
Flashdance, okay.
Jeremy WilliamsHOST
Yeah.
Jeremy WilliamsHOST
She's a maniac on the floor.
Eric ColleyHOST
So they they watched that movie to get some inspiration for more lyrics and they wrote this whole song and they got this creepy Synthesized score and they wrote this lyric about this maniac who's next door I'm gonna kill you and he had it on a demo tape and he was trying to get it placed in a slasher movie Because as we said those were big business, especially in the early 80s I mean horror movies are still big business, but that was that was the the boom time for those VHS movies and he sent later the movie flash dance and about a go-go dancer who's a steel mill worker and also wants to be a ballerina or whatever.
Eric ColleyHOST
It's been a minute since I've seen Flashdance.
Eric ColleyHOST
Not about a serial killer at all.
Eric ColleyHOST
Not
Charles LatibeaudiereHOST
Nothing horror film about it.
Eric ColleyHOST
Legendary producer Phil Ramone, who's famously worked with Billy Joel and every other major artist of the 60s and 70s and 80s.
Eric ColleyHOST
Phil Ramone was like the music supervisor for Flashdance.
Eric ColleyHOST
So Michael Cimbello submitted a tape of songs he wanted to get on the soundtrack.
