Who Needs the Bee Gees When You’ve Got Frank Stallone

In this groovy episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we boogie down to the sequel of a beloved disco-era classic—yes, it exists, and yes, it’s just as dizzying as you’d imagine. Jerry grooves through how this film, featuring a leading man and a director known for their wild nights at Studio 54, attempted to recapture the sparkle of the original but ended up missing a few steps. Instead of the Bee Gees, this film’s soundtrack was largely carried by another musical talent: Frank Stallone.

Jerry unpacks the head-scratching decision to follow up one of the 70s’ most iconic dance flicks with a sequel that traded in glittering dance floors for a routine that fell flat. Despite its high-profile connections and attempts to ride the coattails of its predecessor’s success, this film has the unfortunate honor of being the first to earn a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes—a record it’s been holding since 1998.

Join Jerry as he navigates the funky moves and missteps that led to this cinematic disaster. With its connection to a disco-era cult classic and its legendary flop status, this episode offers a fascinating look at how even the most anticipated sequels can end up losing their rhythm. Whether you’re a fan of 80s films or just enjoy a good Hollywood cautionary tale, this episode will have you strutting with laughter.
