The pop culture topics of the January 1989 issue cover a lot of ground, from a sad update on June 1988 child genius profile subject Adragon DeMello to the movie Patrick Swayze's doing instead of a Dirty Dancing sequel (it's only ROAD HOUSE!!!), five-star reviews for two very dark movies, and a sweet profile of Mary Stuart Masterson. But there's also a lot of snarking at the stars! Duran Duran's latest dance album gets slammed. And a whole bevy of celebrities are judged and found wanting as Sassy reports the results of its entertainment poll. Retract your claws -- or don't! -- and join us for our latest podcast!QUICK LINKS
