Continuing on with like the media representation of Breaking, you were in Style Wars, Wild Style, and Beat Street.

And in fact, in the documentary, they talk about how when the Danny McBride character, who's her husband, was a kid, he saw the movie Breakin' on TV, which... which was part in 1983 and 1984 when breakdancing broke, so to speak, there was a slew of cheapy, low-budget exploitation movies.

The things that art did and that powered so much of the 21st century, that those things are not being pursued as the heart of culture.

And I w- I just read Fab 5 Freddy's autobiography, and he was an early pioneer of bringing together hip hop and graffiti in the early '80s, and he did Wild Style and really connected those scenes with downtown New York and Andy Warhol and Glenn O’Brien and all those people.
