We're going back...back...back to sequels this week with the cult classic dud, "Grease 2"!

This movie may be no cool rider, and we're not necessarily prowlin' to see it again, but who knows, maybe love will turn back the hand of time.

GREASE - was a pop culture musical phenomenon that took the world by storm and become a right of passage for any child in the 80s and beyond. The Born to Watch team tackles this classic and hand jive all the way to Graduation.Released over four decades ago, "Grease" (1978) remains an iconic and beloved musical that continues to captivate audiences of all ages with its infectious energy, memorable tunes, and timeless themes. Directed by Randal Kleiser and based on the 1971 musical of the same name by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, the film has solidified its place in cinematic history as a quintessential representation of 1950s nostalgia, high school romance, and the power of self-discovery. From its catchy melodies to its vibrant choreography, "Grease" radiates a distinct charm that has stood the test of time.Set in the summer of 1959, "Grease" follows the whirlwind romance between Danny Zuko (John Travolta), a leather-clad bad boy with a heart of gold, and Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John), a wholesome Australian exchange student. After a chance encounter during their summer break, the couple faces the challenges of navigating the social dynamics of Rydell High School upon their unexpected reunion. Danny's tough-guy reputation clashes with Sandy's good-girl image, setting the stage for a delightful exploration of teenage identity, peer pressure, and the transformative power of love.At its core, "Grease" is a celebration of youthful exuberance and the trials and tribulations of teenage life. The film expertly captures the spirit of the 1950s, from the fashion and music to the burgeoning cultural shifts of the era. The lively musical numbers, including classics like "Summer Nights," "You're the One That I Want," and "Greased Lightnin'," are not only irresistibly catchy but also serve as windows into the characters' emotions and desires. The soundtrack's timeless appeal is a testament to its enduring popularity, with audiences across generations still tapping their feet and singing along.John Travolta's charismatic portrayal of Danny Zuko is a highlight of the film, as he effortlessly embodies the role of the lovable rebel torn between maintaining his tough image and pursuing genuine love. Olivia Newton-John's performance as Sandy is equally captivating, as she transitions from the demure, naive newcomer to a confident young woman unafraid to express her true self. The chemistry between Travolta and Newton-John is palpable, lending authenticity to their characters' emotional journey and making their on-screen romance all the more believable.The supporting cast adds depth and humor to the story, with standout performances from Stockard Channing as the sassy and rebellious Rizzo, Jeff Conaway as Danny's loyal friend Kenickie, and Didi Conn as the quirky and endearing Frenchy. Each character brings a unique flavor to the narrative, showcasing the diversity of personalities that make up the high school experience.Randal Kleiser's direction brings a visually vibrant and energetic atmosphere to "Grease." The film's iconic dance sequences, choreographed by Patricia Birch, are a sight to behold, combining slick moves and exuberant choreography that perfectly complement the film's lively musical numbers. The high-energy dance-off at the school carnival and the electrifying hand jive scene are just a few examples of the film's memorable moments that have become ingrained in popular culture.Beyond the catchy tunes and lively performances, "Grease" delves into relatable themes of self-acceptance and the challenges of finding one's identity in the face of societal expectations. The characters' struggles to fit in, overcome peer pressure, and forge genuine connections remain relevant to audiences today. The film's ultimate message of embracing one's true self and following one's heart resonates across generations, reminding viewers that authenticity and self-discovery are timeless pursuits.However, it's important to acknowledge that "Grease" has faced criticism for its portrayal of certain gender dynamics and its lack of diversity. The film primarily revolves around heterosexual relationships and conforms to traditional gender roles, which may be at odds with contemporary sensibilities. Moreover, the absence of racial diversity within the main cast and the predominantly white portrayal of a high school in the 1950s overlooks the multicultural reality of American schools during that period.In conclusion, "Grease" (1978) remains a cinematic gem that continues to shine brightly in the pantheon of musicals. Its infectious energy, unforgettable characters, and timeless themes make it a perennial favorite that has earned its place in the hearts of audiences worldwide. While it may not be without its flaws, the film's enduring charm, catchy music, and vibrant dance sequences ensure that it will remain a beloved classic for generations to come. "Grease" transports us back to a simpler time while reminding us that the journey of self-discovery and love is a universal and everlasting one.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

A must read for all Grease fans.” —Didi Conn, Grease's “Frenchy” Grease opened downtown in the Eden Theatre February 14, 1972, short of money, short of audience, short of critical raves, and seemingly destined for a short run. But like the little engine that could, this musical of high school kids from the 1950s moved uptown. On December 8, 1979, it became the longest running show—play or musical—in Broadway history. Here are stories—some touching, some hilariously funny—from names you may recognize: Barry Bostwick, John Travolta, Adrienne Barbeau, Treat Williams, Marilu Henner, Peter Gallagher, and others you may not. Tom Moore directed the original Broadway production, eight national tours, and two London productions of Grease in the West End. He also directed Broadway's Pullitzer Prize–winning 'night Mother, the subsequent film, and other Broadway productions receiving two Tony nominations. Moore directed many years of film and television, earning three Emmy nominations along the way. His most recent project was the documentary on the Flying Trapeze, The Flight Fantastic. Adrienne Barbeau won a Tony nomination and Theatre World Award for her performance as Rizzo in the original Broadway production of Grease. She has appeared in over four hundred films and television shows, including the hit series Maude and HBO's Carnivale.

You're gonna have "the time of your life" as hosts Bobby and Kristina discuss 1996's Big The Musical on episode sixteen of My Favorite Flop.   ABOUT BIG THE MUSICAL Based on the 1988 film of the same name starring Tom Hanks, Big The Musical tells the story Josh Baskin, a 12-year-old boy who grows up overnight after being granted a wish by a Zoltar Speaks machine at a carnival. With the aid of his best friend, Billy, he must cope with his new adulthood while finding the machine so that he can wish himself back and more. The musical features a book by John Weidman, music by David Shire, and lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr. Composer David Shire was inspired to adapt Big for the stage after his wife, actress Didi Conn, watched the film on pay-per-view in her hotel room one night and told him how great a musical it would make. Over the next six years, he was able to amass a team that included frequent collaborator lyricist David Maltby, Jr., book writer John Weidman, director Mike Ockrent, and choreographer Susan Stroman, all of whom were not quite convinced that the musical would work, but continued to contribute to the creative process anyway until it eventually ended up on Broadway. Big The Musical was one of the first major blockbuster films to be translated to the musical stage. While the practice has become much more common today, the Broadway community was far less welcoming of this at the time of its premiere. Despite the musical's strengths, it struggled to find an audience, and after failing to land a Tony nomination for Best Musical, it closed as a puzzling $12 million dollar loss of its $10 million dollar investment. A heavily-revised national tour traveled the country two years later under the helm of show doctor Eric Dr. Shaeffer and was a big success and almost returned to Broadway. The show made its UK and Ireland in 2016 in Dublin starring "Strictly Come Dancing" winner and The Wanted vocalist Jay McGuiness as Josh. The production transferred to London's West End at the Dominion Theatre in 2019 with McGuiness reprising his role.   Original Broadway Cast Daniel Jenkins as Josh Baskin Crista Moore as Susan Lawrence Brett Tabisel as Billy Lizzy Mack as Cynthia Benson Barbara Walsh as Mrs. Baskin John Sloman as Mr. Baskin Patrick Levis as Young Josh Baskin Jon Cypher as MacMillan Gene Weygandt as Paul

Grease is the word, and it's also the latest installment on the Soda Pop Culture Club. After the unexpected popularity of their Grease 2 episode, Mike and Anthony thought it only right to revisit the original, which became an absolute phenomenon. Mike and Anthony talk about the film, the fan theories (did Sandy drown and was this all a dream?), and the fact that Danny Zuko is pretty much a turd that can't stop screwing stuff up, but still gets the girl in the end and a flying car. There's a lot to unpack in this episode, so split an Eskimo pie with someone you know while taking this one in.Soda Pop Culture Club Store This is where you can get that thing you never knew you wanted.

Didi Conn fans assemble!  TMI are forced to ugly cry this week with Toy Story 4 - a franchise seemingly dedicated to turning Dads everywhere into blubbering idiots.  After we clean ourselves up, Jim rejoices as we finally take in a viewing of a childhood fave, 1977's bizarro, forgotten animated opus Raggedy Ann and Andy.  All this toy action makes us consider - Did we ever own a toy NOT based on a movie, that actually deserved its own flick?  Hey Captain, is that a Woody in your pocket, or are you VERY happy to see me? #tmipodcast #tmi movies #tmiconfessionals #toystory4 #woody #buzz #forky #gabbygabby #raggedyannandandy #creepytwins #didiconn #erectmoustache

RIP Corey Taylor's left testicle. Dokken. Perry's Bourbon was for me. Joe saw the play 'Middletown' with Adrian Zmed, Sally Struthers, Anson Williams, and Didi Conn. We wanted to laugh at 'Game Of Thrones' fans over them crying about the finale...then 'Deadwood' happened. TOTALLY sick of waterheaded political assholes. YES this means you, Red Hats....YES this means you, SJWs! ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS are played out! Sussex has confesses to the true desires of his Liberal party. Stuttering John exposes Howard Stern telling his staff to create fake Twitter accounts. Jim Florentine's revenge....but is it the sweetest revenge? The 'All In The Family' and 'The Jeffersons' remakes. Black Mirror Season 5 Episode 1 - Is it gay? The Oculus Quest and Vader Immortal.

'Grease' is the word, it's got groove it's got feeling, and so does this in-depth podcast about the 40-years-and-counting worldwide phenomenon.  Why does this weird movie (and it's deeply weird) stand the test of time?  Easy: TRAVOLTA, SONGS, and KITSCH.  And so many other reasons. So yes; we'll get into Sandy and Danny and the gang and the great performances from Didi Conn, Stockard Channing, and others, but we'll ALSO dive into the fascinating origin story of Grease as a counter-culture artifact springing out of Chicago's experimental theater scene.  And we'll play all the iconic songs and comment upon them in a manner designed to make a fair-use argument for playing them.

This week Damian and Anne are joined by actress Talia Balsam. You Might Know Her From Divorce, Mad Men, No Strings Attached, In the Mood, and Homeland. Talia talks about growing up in a showbiz family with her actor parents, Martin Balsam and Joyce Van Patten, as well as her 20+ year marriage to her Mad Men co-star, John Slattery (and before that, George Clooney). Balsam fills us in on her guilty pleasure TV proclivities, Didi Conn tidbits, and fun facts about her cousin-in-law and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Eileen Davidson. Also, Damian gets a special delivery from Stitch Fix that is both deeply mortifying and wildly spiritual.
