They Called This a Movie Episode 97 - The Dirt Bike Kid (1985)

When the going gets tough... 
The tough get a sentient dirt bike with anarchy coursing through its veins.
This week, we're taking on the man, as Ralphie from A Christmas Story finally gets the gift he always wanted: a dirt bike. It's a classic slobs vs. snobs story that you could only get in the 80s, as Peter Billingsley tries to save his favorite hot dog stand from a greedy banker. It's The Dirt Bike Kid on this week's They Called This a Movie.
Join us as we rev our engine for this straight-to-video kids' movie, as we discuss the pervy motives of the evil banker, the sadsack that is Mike the hot dog stand owner, and discuss the very real scene in which a dirt bike gets aroused by a pre-teen boy. We are not kidding.
