Are we the only people that confuse the Fame movie with the TV show? Were there stimulants in the that “Hot Lunch”? And why was Debbie Allen’s character edited to look like a creeper?
On this episode of The Wright Perspective Podcast, siblings Aubrey, Genia and Brittany Wright recap and review Fame (1980) written by Christopher Gore and directed by Alan Parker. The cast includes Eddie Barth, Irene Cara, Lee Curreri, Laura Dean, Antonia Franceschi, Boyd Gaines, Albert Hague, Tresa Hughes, Steve Inwood, Paul McCrane, Anne Meara, Joanna Merlin, Barry Miller, Jim Moody, Gene Anthony Ray, and Maureen Teefy.
After reviewing the legacy of the Fame film and TV Show, the siblings pick a voting symbol (04:44), and recap the film (12:45). Aubrey, Genia and Brittany are then joined by a guest panelist, Jaymes Jorsling who kicks off conversation about the social context for the film, the writing, and alternate storylines (20:40). The panel goes on to discuss the casting and performances (59:23) and the evolution of “fame” as a concept (01:11:48) before voting to determine whether the movie is a classic from The Wright Perspective (01:24:50).
