On this episode, the Retro Movie Geek crew is joined by Vince, and they’re geeking out over Krush Groove (1985) and

hip hop now and then
clashing music styles
the “acting” in the movie
the musical performances
and much, much more!

Synopsis:

Sheila E., Run-DMC, the Fat Boys, and Kurtis Blow star in this feature film romp through New York’s teen subculture. They’re a talented group of street-savvy urban kids who’re on the move when they hook up with Krush Groove, a hot new record label. But with their success come the ego trips and greed that threaten to destroy everything they’ve worked for.

A fresh, 23-title soundtrack vibrantly pushes the rap-to-riches story along, under the direction of veteran Michael Schultz. So get ready for Krush Groove the movie – and get down with Krush Groove’s music, featuring hits by all the musical stars… a special performance by New Edition, plus tracks from Chaka Khan, the Beastie Boys, the Gap Band and more!
