The Forbidden Dance

Two lambada movies were released on March 16, 1990, but only one was written in 10 days and focuses on a Brazilian princess saving the rainforest by dancing on a TV show judged by Mama Coconut. Paul, June, and Jason watched The Forbidden Dance and discuss the cultural impact of the lambada, Joa the magical shaman, if the Jason character is a Choppleganger, Nisa's solo lambada dancing, Carmen offering her bed to a strange man to have sex in, and so much more. Plus, Paul chronicles the falling out between Cannon Films co-founders Golan and Golbus that led to the production of two dueling lambada films.
