Patrick Swayze remembered: 'Yo, Johnny! I see you in the next life!'

Patrick swayze

Michael Jackson, John Hughes, Patrick Swayze. It's been a rough summer for the children of the '80s. So we here at Stuck in the '80s tried to fashion a podcast for you this week that both honors Patrick's memory and his work, but also gives you a few much-needed chuckles.

Yes, you can expect us to wax poetically about Red Dawn and Point Break. And of course, we get downright nasty about Dirty Dancing. (Sorry, I can't let it go. Patrick would want me to stay the course and never give up the fight. Or he'd want me to learn the Pachenga. Either way, problem solved.)
