Grease (feat. Kai Yaniz)

from Close Watch with Robert Yaniz Jr. Hosted by OddPods Media

Grease is the word on this episode of Close Watch with Robert Yaniz Jr., which also closes out our recent series on movie musicals. So we’re heading back to Rydell High to revisit the 1978 blockbuster that made a vibe of summer lovin’. With its unforgettable soundtrack, iconic performances from John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, and a rebellious streak that sets it apart from other musicals of its time, Grease remains a pop culture powerhouse decades later. Joining Robert for this high-energy discussion is his wife and frequent Crooked Table guest Kai Yaniz. She brings fresh insight into its star-making performances, surprisingly edgy sensibility, and the message of its ending. Plus, we each rank our top six favorite songs from the film. Does Grease still rule the school, or has time changed our perspective on this high-octane classic? Strap in for a ride in Greased Lightning as we break it down and maybe break into song.
