HEADS UP: CONTAINS REFERENCES TO SA. THIS EPISODE ALSO CONTAINS SPOILERS.
On this week's episode of Idle Film Club, we cover the 70s smash hit Saturday Night Fever by John Badham. We discuss the best selling soundtrack, the contentous political climate and dancing.
The film was a big talking point for the BBFC and sparked a lot of controversy at the time, which we delve into and debate whether or not it was warranted.
We also test Geo's very limited knowledge of famous film soundtracks.

Welcome back to the club!HEADS UP: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS, NOT THAT ANYONE CARESOn this weekâs episode of Idle Film Club, we cover Sony's latest flop: Harold and the Purple Crayon. A wonderful family film about a charming fish-out-of-water character who gets transported from his fictional land into the real world. He means well but gets himself into some silly hijinks, don't fret however as Zooey Deschanel is here to guide him through this new landscape and help him find his father. But enough about Elf, we're talking about Harold and the Purple Crayon, or as it should be called Zooey and her Fired Agent. We discuss the "plot", the reception, the smarmiest lead actor in just about anything and how god-awful this turd is. Geo also takes a quiz about other box office flops, if you make it all the way to the end.
