Save The Last Dance (Feat. Ifeanyi Awachie)

Now let me see you 1-2..3,4,5...? Sarah, what the hell are you doing? This week we're joined by talented filmmaker Ifeanyi Awachie to discuss 2001's problematic fave, Save the Last Dance. 

A staple of the MTV generation, Save the Last Dance has a lot of things going on. Reluctant white savior? Check. Pick Me Black love interest? Check. Stereotypical supporting cast? Check. Every trash can in Chicago on fire? Triple check. 

We break down whatever the hell Sarah thought she was doing at the end (I mean she got into Julliard but...), the troublesome nature of Sarah and Derrick's relationship, and the fact that somehow the same choreographer that did this movie also did three of the best Aaliyah videos. 

You absolutely need to follow Ifeanyi on all the social medias (@ifeanyiawachie). She has so much cool stuff going on, like the debut of her new film This Thing is Not For You. Find out more at ifeanyiawachie.com 

Movie's recommended: Queens (on ABC), Dark City Beneath the Beat, The Inkwell.
