Breaking Free: Flying Through the Films of Kenny Ortega
Zina Ellis
12 episodes
2 days ago
Kenny Ortega has directed and choreographed iconic movies and concerts for the past 4.5 decades. From Ferris Bueller to Dirty Dancing to Hocus Pocus to High School Musical, Kenny has stayed at the forefront of musical storytelling on stage and screen. Host Zina Ellis and her guests soar/fly through Kenny's tropes, stage pictures, and unforgettable songs as they analyze how he has remained so relevant over his years of work. Maybe this is an incredibly long gambit by Zina to get more people to watch High School Musical 3 (the best one), but maybe this could be the start of something... great.

7. Salsa and the Art of Motorcycle Safety

This episode, I watched 1988's Salsa, an extremely silly movie with very few likable characters but very many excellent mullets and dances. I'm thrilled to be back on schedule with a normal/short episode! See if you can spot the part of the episode where I disappear for 6 minutes to research the history of motorcycle helmet laws. A truly chaotic film, but it does have a super-rare on-screen Kenny performance! Exciting times in Salsa-land. Check it out!

Please subscribe and follow the pod on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook for even more content and updates, and feel free to send me an email or voice message at breakingfreepod@gmail.com or my Anchor page! I welcome comments on the movies we'll be talking about, as well as on the show itself! And if you feel like supporting me with a $ or two, you can do so through Anchor or Buy Me A Coffee. Thank you so much for your time! You, dear listeners, are my Puerto Rico.
