Andrew and Dave crash land in the good ol' USSR (Google it, kids) and take a look at Taylor Hackford's 1985 political thriller/dance movie WHITE NIGHTS, starring Mikhail Baryshnikov (Google him as well) and Gregory Hines (once again, Google). What possible plot could combine international politics, ballet, and tap dancing? Will Andrew and Dave be forced to admit their ignorance of the history and art of dance? Will the duo agree about the quality of Lou Reed's music in the 1980s? Listen in and find out!
