Podcasts about Grease

Christi and Kelly are back for a mini episode, and this one starts with a little nostalgia, a little heartbreak, and a lot of comfort-movie talk.After the passing of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, Christi and Kelly look back on what made both of them so memorable — from Dolly's perfect one-liners and 9 to 5 to Tim Curry's iconic role in Clue. That leads them into the movies they will always stop and watch, including Grease, Pretty Woman, Sweet Home Alabama, Titanic, Jurassic Park, The Goonies, and the behind-the-scenes stories that make those classics even better.Later, they get into Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro, the Housewives Girls Trip chaos, and why those shows make them wonder what Dance Moms could have looked like if the moms ever got the fun reality-TV treatment instead of being stuck in dance jail.Grab your tickets to our LIVE TOUR!Connecticut (October 2): https://ridgefieldplayhouse.org/event/back-to-the-barre-ridgefield-ct-2026New York City (October 3): https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/00006518C2C668A9Welcome to Back to the Barre, the ultimate podcast channel where Kelly Hyland and Christi Lukasiak from Dance Moms spill the tea, share the laughs, and take you behind the scenes of your favorite reality TV moments!

If you could go back and spend four years at any fictional high school from the '80s, where would you enroll? Would you hang out with Spicoli at Ridgemont High? Serve Saturday detention with the Breakfast Club at Shermer High? Shoot hoops for Hickory? Learn the African Anteater Ritual at Crandall High? Or maybe you'd choose a school where there's absolutely no chance of being murdered by your classmates or attacked in your dreams. This week on Stuck in the '80s, Steve and Brad are going back to school as we pick the fictional high schools of the 1980s we'd most like to attend — and the ones we'd avoid at all costs. There are plenty of tempting choices. There's Weemawee High from Square Pegs, where being popular might be difficult but there's always the possibility you'll score an invitation to Buffy's bar mitzvah and see Devo perform. There's Ridgemont High from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which was also the overwhelming favorite among our listeners. Sure, you might have to survive Mr. Hand's history class, but apparently you can have pizza delivered to class, visit a morgue on a field trip and spend the rest of your free time hanging around the mall. Then there's Hickory High from Hoosiers, where school spirit is off the charts and the enrollment is small enough that we might actually have a chance of making the basketball team. We also consider Rydell High from Grease 2, Crandall High from Can't Buy Me Love, Edwina Pearl High from Just One of the Guys and, of course, Shermer High, the center of the John Hughes universe. Shermer seems pretty appealing. Affluent Chicago suburb. Good education. Great house parties. Interesting classmates. Just don't get Saturday detention. Of course, not every fictional '80s high school belongs on the recruiting brochure. We'd probably skip Ampipe High from All the Right Moves unless we're particularly excited about a future at the local steel mill. We're definitely staying away from Beaumont High from Footloose, where dancing is illegal and nearly every adult seems determined to make teenagers miserable. Then there's Westerburg High from Heathers, where the murder rate alone should probably affect its U.S. News ranking. And we're absolutely not enrolling at Springwood High from A Nightmare on Elm Street. Any school where falling asleep during algebra can result in your gruesome death is an immediate dealbreaker. Bunker Hill Military Academy from Taps isn't looking much better. It's about to close, the townies hate you and there's a reasonable chance Timothy Hutton is going to get everyone killed. Otherwise, lovely campus. We also share your picks, including votes for the schools from Square Pegs, Better Off Dead, Summer School, Three O'Clock High and the John Hughes movies. But Ridgemont? Ridgemont wins by a landslide. The High School Class We Wish We'd Had We also have a special interview this week with Todd Shriver and Shawn Curtis, two Indiana high school teachers who have somehow managed to create what might be our dream job. They teach a class about the 1980s. Todd and Shawn tell us how the class came about, what parts of the decade they cover and what today's high school students think about the music, movies, history and pop culture their parents grew up with. Even better, they've managed to bring the decade to life through an impressive collection of interviews with '80s celebrities. Which leaves Steve with only one question: Where does he submit his résumé? Why We Never Really Forget High School There's a reason high school remains such a powerful setting for the movies and TV shows we grew up with. Those four years are when many of us first started dreaming about who we might someday become. It's where we found our people. Where many of us fell in love for the first time — and discovered heartbreak for the first time, too. It's where we were challenged academically, personally and sometimes morally. We made good decisions. We made terrible decisions. And somehow all of those experiences became little pieces of the adults we eventually turned into. And then there's the soundtrack. The songs and movies we discovered during high school never really leave us. Forty years later, one song can come on and suddenly you're not sitting in traffic anymore. You're 17 again. You're driving somebody's terrible first car. You're thinking about someone you had a crush on. You're remembering some completely ordinary Friday night that you had no idea you'd still be thinking about decades later. For four years, we were becoming ourselves. We just didn't know it yet. And if you were lucky enough to go to high school in the '80s, at least you had one hell of a soundtrack while you figured it out. Join Us on The '80s Cruise! Want to take your love of the '80s out of the classroom and onto the high seas? Join Stuck in the '80s on The '80s Cruise, where we'll once again be sailing with an incredible lineup of '80s artists and thousands of fellow fans of the decade.

Greg started his entertainment career in bands and ended up playing Danny Zuko on Broadway in Grease. From there he went on to star in the popular TV series, B.J. and the Bear and My Two Dads, as well as co-starring and recurring on shows such as General Hospital, Pacific Palisades, Melrose Place, TekWar, and P.S.I. Luv U. He has also guest starred and been seen on countless television programs and movies. He also recently recorded an album with London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

"True Blue" erschien 1986 als drittes Studioalbum von Madonna. Damit wurde sie endgültig vom Pop-Sternchen zum internationalen Superstar und zur Queen of Pop. Das Besondere an "True Blue" ist, dass Madonna erstmals als Co-Autorin und Co-Produzentin an einem ihrer Alben beteiligt war und damit mehr Einfluss auf ihre Musik nahm als zuvor. Das Ergebnis ist eine Platte, die sich nicht nur mit Liebe, Romantik und Ehe beschäftigt, sondern auch mit ernsteren Themen wie den Traumata ihrer Kindheit und der Kritik an patriarchalen und konservativen Strukturen. Mit "True Blue" entwickelte sich Madonna so zu einer ernstzunehmenden Künstlerin und erreichte gleichzeitig ein breiteres und reiferes Publikum. Der Album-Opener "Papa Don't Preach" handelt vom Widerstand gegen männliche Autoritäten, die sich sowohl in ihrem eigenen Vater als auch in der katholischen Kirche zeigen. Im Song erzählt Madonna aus der Perspektive einer schwangeren Jugendlichen, die sich mit der Frage auseinandersetzt, ob sie ihr Kind bekommen soll. Auch "Live To Tell" schlägt ernstere Töne an. Der Song handelt von Betrug, Misstrauen und Trauma sowie von einem Geheimnis, das die Erzählerin nicht länger für sich behalten kann. Immer wieder wurde "Live To Tell" autobiografisch gelesen und mit Madonnas eigenen Kindheitserfahrungen in Verbindung gebracht. Auch musikalisch hebt sich die Ballade durch ihre komplexe Komposition und die zurückhaltende, düstere Atmosphäre hervor. Von Kritikern wurde sie als eine von Madonnas stärksten Balladen gelobt. Romantik und Liebe kommen auf "True Blue" aber auch nicht zu kurz. Der gleichnamige Titelsong ist Madonnas damaligem Ehemann, dem Schauspieler Sean Penn, gewidmet. Der unbeschwerte, fröhliche Popsong greift Elemente der Girlgroup-Musik der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre auf und erinnert an Gruppen wie die Ronettes oder an den Sound von "Grease". __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "True Blue" sprechen wir im Podcast • (14:12) – "Papa Don't Preach" • (27:08) – "Open Your Heart" • (37:50) – "Live To Tell" • (56:25) – "True Blue" • (01:02:20) – "La Isla Bonita" __________ Shownotes • Website von Herb Ritts, dem Fotografen des Cover Artworks: https://www.herbritts.com/ • Website der Grafikerin Jeri Heiden, die für die Gestaltung des Artworks zuständig war https://www.smogdesign.com/about • Interview mit Margot Käßmann in der WELT zur Confessions Tour 2006 https://www.welt.de/print-welt/article147086/Anmassende-Selbstinszenierung.html • "Live To Tell" bei der Confessions Tour.

According to Lutheran Service Book, the commemoration of St. Monica falls on August 27 each year. To give you enough time to source ingredients for Erin's delicious St. Monica Buns, we're sharing this episode from August 2024 to inspire your ideas for a St. Monica Day Party! Who exactly is St. Monica? How does one celebrate her? To answer these questions (and more), the Party Planning Committee is back!   Monica, mother of St. Augustine of Hippo, is remembered today as an example of faith, patience, and godliness in the face of complicated family relationships.   In this episode, Rachel briefly tells Monica's inspiring life story before suggesting an appropriate menu and party plan befitting the saint's fabled austerity — featuring vegetable porridge, bread, water, loud weeping, and all-night prayer vigils. Thankfully, Erin and Sarah intervene with a much more festive set of ideas, including Erin's original recipe for St. Monica buns (see below) and Sarah's home-grown party games: pin the collect on the saint, “Aqueducts and Leviathans” (a fun “Shoots and Ladders” spinoff), and, of course, a hymn sing. St. Monica's Buns Recipe by Erin Alter Makes 12 buns (can easily be doubled)  Dough  ½ c (117 ml) milk, any kind, lightly warmed 1 ¼ t (½ packet) instant yeast  2 T (25 g) granulated sugar  ¾ t salt   1 large egg  4 T (57 g) butter, softened  1 ¾ c (227 g) flour   Filling  3 T packed brown sugar  ¼- ½ t cinnamon  Scant 1/8 t ground ginger  Good pinch of salt  2 peaches, pitted and diced   Garnish  Milk  Turbinado sugar  Directions Whisk together warm milk, yeast, sugar, and salt a large bowl. Whisk in eggs. Add softened butter, chunked up. Use Danish dough whisk to incorporate flour. Stir vigorously for the duration of one of your favorite songs (ideally 4-6 minutes; the song will help it go faster). The dough will be smooth but still extremely sticky. This is proper.   Transfer the whole mess into an oiled bowl big enough to hold it when doubled. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and from here there are two possible schedules:  Method 1: Let the dough rise at room temperature until it just shy of doubles, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer dough to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. It is impossible to work with this dough when still at room temperature; don't even try.  Method 2: Let the dough rise in the fridge a minimum of 8 hours, and up to 2 days. It will be just about doubled when it comes out.  From this point, you are now back on the same track, regardless of your rising method. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a muffin tin. Combine brown sugar, spices, and salt. Mix in the diced peaches. Set aside to get juicy.  On a well-floured counter, divide the dough in quarters, and then divide each quarter into 3 pieces, so you have 12 pieces of dough.   Roll each piece of dough into a ball. On a well-floured counter, use a rolling pin to flatten it out into a circle, ~ 4 inches wide. Add flour as needed to keep it from sticking. Work fairly quickly, so the dough doesn't get too warm.   Holding the circle of dough in your palm, add two heaping spoonful's of the peaches to the center. Gather the edges of the dough up around the sides, forming a little nest. Nestle the nest into the muffin tin and repeat. If you have extra peaches at the end, you can see if there are any buns that you could scoop a little more into.   Brush the dough edges with a little milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.  Bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool at least 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tin and serving.  Optional: Serve with crème fraiche.    Note: If you add extra peaches to a bun, don't let the peaches heap up over the dough much at all. If you do, they will probably overflow in the oven and you will have delicious buns that are very, very sticky to eat and an extremely messy pan to clean. And non-overflowed buns are just as delicious, and much more pleasant to eat.     Crème Fraiche  Combine 1 c heavy whipping cream with 1 heaping T sour cream in a container with a tight fitting lid. Shake for 15 seconds (don't turn this to butter!). Leave it on the counter for 24 hours, covered. Stir it 2-3 times during that time. It will become thickened (similar to yogurt, but not nearly as thick as Greek yogurt) and delicious. Note: If your kitchen is too cold, it won't thicken.   Resources referenced:  Accounts of St. Monica:  St Monica – The Patron Saint of Alcoholics & Mothers!

I was thrilled when Sami Tamimi told me he was coming to Paris. Sami recently released his third book, Boustany: A celebration of vegetables from my Palestine, so I invited him into my kitchen to make a recipe from it with me. And the weather was so nice, we decided to prepare it outside.Sami is the co-founder of the Ottolenghi restaurants and delis, and the author of Falastin, one of my favorite cookbooks, which explores his Palestinian heritage through stories and recipes from his homeland. Boustany focuses ore squarely on the vegetable dishes of Palestine. Sami's book features a bounty of recipes that focus on vegetables, such as salads like the Fridge-raid fattoush, and there are beautifully verdant Gazan fava bean falafels. I've never made falafels, but his recipe and the gorgeous photo that accompanies it make me want to. Other recipes that I've bookmarked are the spicy Shatta condiment, Bulghur wheat dumplings & lentil soup, and Ouzi phyllo parcels, which are individual dishes filled with rice, orzo, vegetables, nuts, and spices. Where does chocolate fit in? Well, like tomatoes and squash (which are lavishly featured in the book), chocolate is also technically a fruit. And besides, who doesn't love chocolate? Since I've been in the chocolate mode, thanks to The Great Book of Chocolate coming out, I was glad Sami was up for doing some baking and showed up ready to make his Tahini, Halvah, and Coffee Brownies.Subscribe to my newsletter and get videos, recipes, Paris tips, and more, sent right to your Inbox!Pan-baked tahini, halva & coffee brownie(Qahwa w Halaweh brownie)Reprinted with permission from Boustany: A Celebration of Vegetables from my Palestine by Sami Tamimi, copyright © 2025. Published by Ten Speed Press, an imprint of Penguin Random HouseServes 6“Imagine yourself sitting in one of many coffee shops dotted around the souk in Jerusalem's old city, having a piece of chocolate and a strong, sweet Arabic cardamom coffee. One mouthful of this dessert can almost definitely transport you there. It's a dessert meant for sharing, to be spooned straight from the pan. A great, easy, chewy and fudgy brownie which can be ready in under 20 minutes. It hits all the right spots for chocolate lovers like me.”“This is the recipe exactly as it appears in Boustany.

Is Grease the Groove really the best way to build muscle? While this popular calisthenics training method is excellent for improving strength skills and movement proficiency, it may not be the most efficient strategy for hypertrophy. In this episode, I explain the difference between training for skill versus training for muscle growth, why intensity matters more than endless repetitions, and how to combine Grease the Groove with Double Tap Training for the best results.If your goal is building muscle with calisthenics, bodyweight training, or suspension straps, this episode will help you train smarter, not just longer.

In the first of our special programmes from the Edinburgh Festivals, actress Stockard Channing - star of Grease, Six Degrees of Separation and Practical Magic - joins us alongside her friend, actor David Westhead, to discuss their production of Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape, in which a cynical and disillusioned older man reflects on his early life as an ambitious and idealistic writer.Jeff Whitty, Tony Award winning creator of the hit musical Avenue Q, which is currently running until 2027 in London's West End, tells us about Midsummer!, his new production inspired by Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's dream, set in the Gilded Age and performed in a contemporary verse translation. We have a live performance from siblings Maddie and Marcus Rice from their show with songs Goodbye Dandelion, an exploration of an unlikely friendship between an 87 year old and their much younger friend, which is the recipient of the inaugural Underbelly Futures Fund Award. And we hear how deaf actors and artists are taking centre stage at this year's Festival, with Stijn Van Opstal, the director of the acclaimed production [seagull], performed in Flemish sign language by Belgian company Olympique Dramatique - and with director Cora Bissett and deaf performer Jamie Rea, whose gig theatre production The Singer, centres on Joe, a deaf artist who 'sings' with his hands, and Andy, a washed-up musician seeking a comeback, and features music by KT Tunstall.

Send us Fan MailOn this week's episode of Grease the Wheels, we get into some of the statistics of the “should technicians get paid for Video MPI's” debate — and if this were an election, they would call it a landslide. Even the majority of Management and instructors are on the side of “pay the technicians for Video MPI's”. When it comes right down to it, the foreword thinking management that wants to pay for Video MPI's is actually giving themselves leverage as to their quality, branding, and brand voice that is utilized in direct digital communications with their customers. This gives them a massive advantage over companies who don't, and thus, get what they pay for. We also read off some of the better comments from Technicians themselves (who were 100% united behind the idea that they should be getting paid for them) as well as echo some of the ideas and systems that we promote at Surfwrench! It's not hard to find if you want to metaphorically throw rotten fruit at this tool, search "Video MPI" over on LinkedIn and look for the dude getting lit up.   Also Uncle Jimmy uses feminism to bludgeon the OP, and decides it might just be time for a combo of LinkedIn/GlassDoor for Mechanics.GTW MERCH: greasethewheels.storeThis Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!

The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, he of the sweeping historical sagas. Sarah's theory is that it's the male Barbie, with something for everyone. Whether the ultimate hero's journey is still relevant in the age of TikTok might/might not be answered by the movie taking in $727+ million in its first 12 days. Nancy and Sarah debate whether the three-hour film is too long (no/yes), whether it needed the Eliot Page character (yes/no), and did Nolan drop the ball on the Sirens (YES!!!!). Sarah delivers some light and loving pushback on the recent episode about Fauci. Then, what do people say behind your back? Sarah and Nancy ponder. Also, we introduce a new segment, "This Week in Kyle Chandler” because … Kyle Chandler.Also discussed:* Grease is the word.* Kaboodles are still a thing* Mary Katharine Ham is a star* “It's gross how cute you are.”* “Fauci was rubbing it …”* Cat Damon!!* You're welcome back any time, Scott Greenfield* Sarah refuses to pronounce Ross Douthat's name properly until he comes on the pod* No sex for Circe* Samantha Morton is not Emily Watson …* “Sarah with the tits, Nancy with the eyes”Plus, why Nancy and Sarah are taking a road trip to a ranch near Austin, Nancy on that weird Stockard Channing movie, a hot box where every relationship is transactional, and much more!Paid subscribers get a picture of a cat that looks like Matt Damon, what more can we say?“I wonder if I can get people to click over and subscribe to the Smoke ‘Em YouTube?”

This week we're deep in Season 2 of The West Wing (episodes 3-6) and there's a lot to unpack. We break down why Ainsley Hayes might be the perfect narrative foil for Sam Seaborn, and get into a real debate about who exactly John Larroquette is to each of us. Somewhere along the way, we also plan our dream beach vacation and make a case for bringing jazzercise back — don't ask, just listen. We also get into the chemistry between POTUS and FLOTUS, because Bartlet is clearly obsessed with his wife, and we have thoughts on what that roleplay probably looks like (spoiler: think Grease, but make it presidential). And in true Sorkin fashion, we talk about how this fictional administration somehow feels more functional and more democratic than a lot of real ones — then and now. If you're rewatching The West Wing or discovering it for the first time, this episode has the character analysis, the tangents, and the "wait, we need to talk about this" moments that made you fall for the show in the first place.

Send us Fan MailOn this week's episode of Grease The Wheels, Uncle Jimmy starts a proper war on LinkedIn. We love LinkedIn, from the endless networking with people who want to sell us stuff, to some of the most ludicrous and overhyped job titles we have ever seen. Everyone is an expert, a guru, a wizard, or mogul - at least in their own head! What started as a post about not wanting to pay technicians for Video MultiPoint Inspections quickly became an entire week's work for one of these self-ordained “Fixed Ops Leaders” who has spent more time as a service advisor and Gym Manager than he did in Fixed Ops Leadership. The results were very heartening as well, most people agreed with us in the idea that technicians should in some way be compensated for the time that the spend doing Video MPI's if they are on the flat rate system. If you are salary or a hybrid hourly with a production bonus, you don't really have much of a leg to stand on. This was a properly fun drubbing of someone who thinks they know best, but we want to heart from you! What do you think is a proper amount of compensation for a Video MPI as a flat rate technician?   Also Erik takes a week off to try bourbons and beat the life out of race cars. This Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!

Taylor Swift somehow turned one little word into one of the sweetest songs on The Life of a Showgirl.This week we're breaking down Honey, talking about the lyrics that made us smile, the voice memo that gives us a peek into Taylor's songwriting process, and all the little details we almost missed. We get into why this song feels so healing, the surprising Grease connection, why "graffiti my whole damn life" might be one of the best lyrics on the album, and of course we somehow end up talking about pet names, bad dating stories, and the names we'd never want to be called.Plus we hear from listeners with some amazing episode ideas, a wedding story that accidentally became Taylor-coded, and one Swiftie from Scotland who absolutely made our day.Let us know...what's your favorite lyric from Honey?THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY BETTERHELP Our listeners get 10% off their first month at http://BetterHelp.com/TAYLORSWIFTFAN.THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY QUINCE Upgrade your everyday.

Gaby welcomes legendary actor Didi Conn to the podcast to chat about her iconic role of Frenchy in the film of 'Grease'. Didi shares her joy of making that film, her favourite song and moment from it - and talks about how the cast remained friends ever since filming it. They also chat about the joys of family and singing (oh yes, there's some singing!) We hope you enjoy listening to this trip down memory lane as much as we did recording it!

This week on Born to Watch, the boys dive into a true cult classic with our Big Wednesday Movie Review, the coming-of-age surfing epic that has inspired generations of surfers while leaving plenty of movie fans wondering what all the fuss is about. Directed by the legendary John Milius, Big Wednesday isn't just about riding waves; it's about growing up, friendships, the passing of time, and the harsh reality that life eventually catches up with everyone. Whitey, G-Man and Damo paddle out into one of the most personal films ever covered on the podcast, and the discussion quickly reveals a massive divide. For G-Man, this is sacred territory, a film that captures everything he loves about surfing culture and the changing seasons of life. For Whitey, it's a movie full of unanswered questions that leaves him searching for meaning between the swells. Somewhere in the middle sits Damo, appreciating both the spectacular surfing sequences and the emotional weight hidden beneath the surface.The boys break down the journey of Matt, Jack and Leroy, three lifelong mates whose lives unfold across more than a decade as they chase waves, girls, parties, responsibility and eventually the mythical Big Wednesday itself. Is the famous swell simply a perfect wave, or is it a metaphor for life's biggest moments? G-Man comes armed with enough knowledge to teach a university course on the film, explaining the significance of each swell and how every chapter represents another stage of growing older.Along the way, the conversation drifts into everything that makes Born to Watch what it is. Whitey questions why nobody seems capable of explaining anything in 1970s cinema, Damo reminisces about recording surfing competitions onto VHS tapes before the internet existed, and G-Man somehow turns an episode about surfing into a passionate defence of Jan-Michael Vincent's career.Speaking of Jan-Michael Vincent, the boys explore what should have been one of Hollywood's biggest success stories. Blessed with movie star looks and undeniable charisma, Vincent seemed destined to become one of the industry's leading men before a series of personal struggles derailed his career. They also examine the careers of William Katt, Gary Busey, Lea Purcell and the incredible creative team behind the film, including legendary director John Milius and composer Basil Poledouris.As always, the regular segments are packed with laughs. The team looks back at 1978, discussing classics including The Deer Hunter, Grease, Superman, Animal House and Every Which Way But Loose. The Snorb's Report uncovers another unforgettable scene from Animal House, while Hit, Sleeper, Dud delivers recommendations ranging from Midnight Express and The Wild Geese through to the gloriously ridiculous disaster movie The Swarm.Of course, no Born to Watch episode would be complete without random tangents. There are discussions about beach culture, lending surfboards to complete strangers, teenage house parties, Bear's outrageous life choices, surfing legends, Airwolf, The Greatest American Hero, Star Wars auditions, Gary Busey's teeth, and whether anyone has ever actually met an old surfer who correctly predicted the mythical "Big Wednesday".Whether you grew up quoting Matt Johnson, dreamed of chasing perfect waves, or you've never understood surfing culture at all, this episode celebrates a film that means something different to everyone who watches it. Some see an unforgettable surfing movie. Others see one of the greatest coming-of-age stories ever made. Whitey still isn't entirely sure what he watched.So grab a beer, wax the board, paddle out with the boys, and join us as we revisit one of cinema's most beloved cult classics. The waves are building, the friendships are tested, and eventually, Big Wednesday arrives.If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave us a review, and share Born to Watch with your mates. Every new listener helps us keep celebrating the movies we all grew up loving, one classic at a time.#BornToWatch #BigWednesday #BigWednesdayMovieReview #MoviePodcast #SurfMovies #JohnMilius #CultClassic #FilmReview #MovieLovers #PodcastAustralia

In “Vegan Chitlins” | Episode 248 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, the crew serves up a buffet of meat, bad math, questionable introductions, and the debut of Odicius Jones, a man with his own Odyssey and a very intense relationship with 4DX movie theaters. Parker, Fred, and Allan kick things off with redhead confusion, Greek jokes, Grease references, white-people clapping, and a movie review that quickly becomes less about The Odyssey and more about surviving modern cinema. Odicius breaks down a “mid” new Odyssey movie starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Elliot Page, but the real story is the 4DX experience: moving seats, face mist, wind blasts, fake arrows, rough seas, and enough theater violence to make a five-out-of-ten movie feel like a full-body event. Then it's time for the guys to test their knowledge of all things!  It's fat guy news and we're talking about our old buddy diarrhea lettuce, and we finally meet the guy. We're also talking about the best French Fries in the biz.

As an immersive version of Grease opens for the summer in London, Anita Rani welcomes Didi Conn, who played 'Beauty School Dropout' Frenchy in the original 1978 film.Can you imagine running an entire country on just a few hours of sleep? Japan's Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who has referred to herself as 'Japan's Iron Lady', says she often functions on zero to three hours a night. Whether it's long work hours, caring responsibilities, new born babies, pain, anxiety or hormones, women can struggle to get sleep, so we wanted to look at how much is enough? And does it differ between men and women? Anita is joined by Dr Kat Lederle, sleep scientist and chronobiologist.The Church of England's Interim Commissioner for Independent Reviews, which investigates cases of historic sex abuse, has published their first report and it's about one woman's experience and how her case was handled, or rather mishandled, by those in charge at the time. Jane Chevous has waived her anonymity to speak to Woman's Hour. She alleges that she experienced rape, plus spiritual and psychological abuse by two clergymen. Anita speaks to Jane and the BBC's Religion Editor, Aleem Maqbool.The Commonwealth Games netball tournament gets underway next week, with all four UK nations set to be involved. England will be hoping to challenge for the medals once again, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will all be looking to make their mark on one of the sport's biggest stages. Anna Carter, a former player and coach for England, who now runs Elite Netball Academy, gives Anita her take.This weekend, all around the world, thousands will congregate to recreate Kate Bush's iconic debut single music video. Known as The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever, for those who take part, it's a truly special occasion. But how did it start and why is it so important for those who take part? Anita speaks to Georgie Sworder, one of the women who originally inspired the event, and Belinda Burton, who will be organising her own 'mass wuther' in Sydney.

Dirty Dancing was a huge hit when it came out. Everyone remembers the fun and the dancing. It also has a botched back-alley abortion, a 25-year-old male prostitute dancing with a 17-year-old, and a dad who was completely right the whole time. Bridget rewatches the 1987 classic and breaks down why the movie is genuinely insane, why nobody noticed because there was dancing, and why the only reason it became legendary is that the Lift at the end made everyone forget everything else. Nobody remembers the abortion. #DirtyDancing #PatrickSwayze #DumpsterFire Topics covered: Dirty Dancing 1987, Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Dirty Dancing plot breakdown, Dirty Dancing abortion scene, 80s movies rewatched as adults, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, movie endings, nostalgia

The St. Louis Morning Brief rounds up the local stories you need to know. A resurfaced TikTok challenge has teens busting through fences in Ellisville, leaving six homes damaged and police asking for doorbell footage. St. Charles leaders approve $20,000 in taxpayer money to study tiny homes for the homeless — a plan that raises real questions about accountability and whether throwing more government money at the problem actually works. Missouri cracks down hard on copper thieves with a new felony law and up to 10 years in prison, though one story shows just how broken the justice system can be when a judge lets a thief walk free on a technicality. And a North County restaurant gets caught red-handed dumping grease down a storm drain. Local news, common sense takes — only on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Bobby, Eddie and Brandon Ray put their musical knowledge to the test by choosing their own teams of the greatest musicals ever—with no paper, no notes and plenty of questionable picks. They debate classics like The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton and Grease, while Bobby shares his thoughts on Lin-Manuel Miranda and Brandon admits he has never seen a Broadway show. From famous productions to musicals they barely remember, it quickly becomes clear these guys may not be the most cultured group for the job. Watch The BobbyCast on Netflix!

In this episode of The Costume House with Spencer Williams, we step beyond the screen and into the pages of Bending the Rules: Fashion Beyond the Binary with celebrated costume designer Camille Benda and illustrator, fashion historian, and culture specialist Gwyn Conaway.Together, Spencer, Camille, and Gwyn explore the fascinating relationship between fashion, identity, and self-expression across cultures and throughout history. Drawing from the book's rich collection of essays, interviews, and visual storytelling, the conversation examines how clothing has long challenged conventions, reflected cultural change, and expanded our understanding of gender through dress.Along the way, they discuss unforgettable examples from film and costume design, including Sally Potter's Orlando and the Academy Award-winning costumes of Sandy Powell, the futuristic world of The Fifth Element, and the enduring style of Grease through the work of legendary costume designer Albert Wolsky. Thoughtful, insightful, and endlessly fascinating, this conversation celebrates fashion as one of our most powerful forms of storytelling.

Send us Fan MailOn this weeks episode of Grease the wheels ,we talk about one of the very real threats that dealerships and their staffs face on a daily basis: security. For some reason, the criminal element loves car dealerships. It's probably the tens of millions of dollars of inventory sitting on the lot or the fact that their harbor freight saws-all's are simultaneously cheap and effective and catalytic converts are not cheap. There are tens of thousands of property crimes that happen every year at car dealerships. There are also tons of ways to protect yourself as well, from documenting all of your equipment with photos for insurance reasons, to packing heat as the Texas do! We get into how to defend yourself, your property, and equipment, as well as some fun stories about the things that have gone down in dealerships. We didn't even get to cybersecurity, because there are just so many other ways for people to rip shops and dealerships off. Everyone has a story when it comes to this kind of thing, and we would love to hear yours!  Also Uncle Jimmy talks one of the worst payment security situations we've ever heard! This Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!

Adam Wolfsdorf chairs the Humanities Department at Bay Ridge Preparatory in Brooklyn and teaches graduate students at NYU and Wesleyan, drawing on 26 years inside the classroom. He's the author of Teaching in the Riptide, where he names the moments educators get pulled under by something more powerful than their plan — and what to do when that happens. Outside the classroom, he spent 25 years performing professionally, including national tours of RENT and Grease. A student kicks over a trash can, slams the door, and storms out mid-lesson. Seventeen other students sit frozen, waiting to see what the teacher does next. That moment — and the instinct to fight back in it — is what most classroom management training gets wrong. Dr. Adam Wolfsdorf has spent 26 years studying what happens when teachers refuse to match a student's energy, and why that refusal is the most powerful classroom management tool no one teaches.

Some mornings you wake up expecting coffee and headlines. Other mornings you discover there's an underground criminal empire built around stealing used fryer grease, somebody is trying to convince the world that rhinestone jeans are cool again, and Rizz has created an entirely unofficial list of ages when society should politely ask you to stop doing certain things.Welcome to another daily comedy show.This episode starts close to home as the crew talks about local St. Louis news, including Cyberg's Market Street closing after decades downtown, a rash of overnight vehicle break-ins, and why leaving valuables—or firearms—in your car is probably a terrible idea. Naturally, that serious conversation immediately derails into fake stick shifts designed to confuse thieves, mounted muskets, car guns, and inventions that definitely belong on Shark Tank.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew dives into one of the strangest federal crime stories imaginable: a multi-million-dollar operation involving stolen restaurant grease. Yes... used cooking oil. Apparently yesterday's french fries can become today's organized crime. Between fake paperwork, undercover grease deals, and criminals wearing safety vests to look legitimate, it's almost impressive... almost.Fashion doesn't escape the roast either.Is America really entering another bedazzled era? Are Ed Hardy vibes back? Are JNCO jeans making another run? Lern believes the sparkle has returned, Rafe embraces the chaos, and Rizz refuses to accept that grown men are voluntarily decorating their back pockets with rhinestones. The debate spirals into cowboy fashion, Von Dutch hats, whale tails, and whether anyone should willingly relive the early 2000s.Speaking of questionable life choices...The gang revisits Bryan Johnson—the tech millionaire spending millions every year attempting to reverse aging—after news of his autoimmune diagnosis. The conversation turns into a hilarious debate over supplements, youth fighting, biohacking, overnight health tracking, and whether spending your entire life trying not to age actually counts as living.As if that weren't enough, Rizz unveils his completely scientific (not at all scientific) "Tell the Truth Day" list of socially acceptable expiration dates. At what age should you stop calling everyone "bro?" When should backwards hats retire? Is there an age limit for staying out until sunrise? The crew argues every single rule while listeners undoubtedly yell back at their speakers.Throw in celebrity obsession, social media insanity, relationship debates, bizarre inventions, random tangents, plenty of St. Louis flavor, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your coworkers question why you're laughing at your desk, and you've got another unforgettable morning with The Rizzuto Show.Whether you're listening on the drive to work, pretending to work, or actively avoiding responsibility altogether, thanks for making us part of your day. This daily comedy show exists because of listeners who appreciate ridiculous conversations, terrible ideas, and the occasional accidental moment of wisdom hiding beneath all the nonsense.If you laughed, argued with Rizz, defended bedazzled jeans, or immediately started wondering how much used fryer grease is worth, congratulations—you've officially experienced another daily comedy show the way it was intended.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bear Newcomb and Josh “Landbridge” Spielmaker stage a Bear Grease hostile takeover and head to the river to do some fly fishing without Clay Newcomb. The two talk fly fishing, Bear’s river rafting abandonment, building Bear Grease YouTube Channel content, mule training, and the value of getting outside and simply “moseying” around.
