Saturday Night Fever Part 2: The Music

Join us for part 2 of our discussion of the most iconic movie of the 70s, Saturday Night Fever. But this time we devote the entire episode to the MUSIC; because this is how most Gen Xers "saw" the movie -- on their record players. The music from the SNF soundtrack dominated everything: the charts, the airwaves, our living room stereos. We'll discuss how The Bee Gees came on board (and who COULD have been the sound of Saturday Night Fever instead!) and also explore how each song magically told you the whole story of Tony Manero. For the best listening experience, please listen to Part 1 of this episode first; Episode 52, Saturday Night Fever: The Movie.
