Roller Girl

Missy learning how to "shoot the moon" was a common roller skating trick at roller discos. It usually involves squatting down and leaning forward to slide faster, giving the appearance of quickly speeding like a shooting star. It was popular mostly with older teenagers in the 1970's and 1980's.

This show looks back on a cold case from August 1978. At the beginning there's a shot of the roller rink, where "September" by Earth, Wind, & Fire is playing. This song didn't come out until November of 1978, and became a top ten hit in February 1979. Earth, Wind, & Fire's current hit at the time was "Got To Get You Into My Life". So either the DJ had a three month advance copy, or this was an error by the filmmakers.
