Fun fact about the actress who played Chacha: she has since passed, but she went on to be a gender woman’s studies professor at cal state Northridge and she was a doll!

[@IBGECKO]

I didn't know that! I was a Women's Studies major at CSUN about10 years ago. It looks like she died the same year I transferred there from Pierce :(

Okay, the flying car thing. This may be utter bullshit, but it’s been my explanation for years. Earlier in the movie before the race, the lesbian shop teacher says a comment. “If this car was in any better shape, it would fly.” So the car got wrecked in the race and now it’s fixed at the end, therefore being in better shape.

[@daleholbert3111]

That's deep make ya thank a little

[@moonymilquetoast]

my ted talk about the sandy makeover thing: people always say that sandy's makeover is problematic and un-feminist and the argument that she changed for him but he didn't change for her - but danny never seemed to want her to change her style or personality for him (other than wanting to make out with her) and he tells the t birds that she means a lot to him and he'd do anything for her before she shows up all "bad sandy". as a feminist who grew up with this movie i always felt it was her breaking out of her comfort zone/societal "good girl" mold and having cute bonding with the pink ladies in some *fabulous* off screen montage where they lend her clothes and show her all those moves. idk, that's just me.

[@Jays6926]

Can’t we say he changed for her? He did join sports and seemed to take school activities more serious.

[@MaestroFriedrich]

aaaaannd people are multifaceted

[@moonymilquetoast]

@@MaestroFriedrich 🙌

[@catspawgardner3213]

The only Pink Lady she bonded with was Frenchy not to mention Frenchy liked Sandy for who she was. The others especially Rizzo were snooty towards Sandy Rizzo even said "She looks too pure to be pink." Sandy wasn't breaking out of her comfort zone when she changed her look she changed because no Danny couldn't accept her for who she is. Danny was ashamed of her when he went to the diner & saw his crew & the other Pink Ladies there. He literally ran into the diner with Sandy so they wouldn't be s po spotted. Danny didn't even have the balls to tell the other T-Birds & Pink Ladies to piss off he wants some privacy with his girl. Unlike Kenickie & Rizzo who told the T-Birds to beat it so they can knock boots.

[@moonymilquetoast]

@@catspawgardner3213 sure, not rizzo but in the "tell me about it, stud" scene marty, jan and frenchie are all behind her looking excited/rooting for her, showing her how to stomp out the cigarette etc. and pretty sure danny didn't want them to crash his date, which he knew they would, because then they subsequently did - but everyone can have their own interpretation lol

[@semr.1654]

Okay i have a fun storytime about grease. In high school i played rizzo in a production and kennickey (sp.?) was played by a nice short gay boy and we had a blast but everytime we did the pregnancy scene the audience laughed. And then i had to sing my heart out in an emotional ballad. So thats nicely engrained in my skull.

I actually love Mary Chino-Cherry as a drag name.

There was a Vanity Fair (I think?) video with the director of Grease saying how all the extras in every scene were given storylines to act out from scene to scene, which you can really see in the final number.

[@JBabyLeather]

[@michellefitzgerald9883]

I'm with Andrew on this one. There's no way Sandy would talk about creaming her bathing suit.

[@gretchenbaker7435]

Don't forget she is Australian, I'm suprized she never called Rizzo a "Good Cunt"

[@nicholasbourne]

Shows where Avaryls mind was 😅😉 LOL!

[@tatianamelendez490]

Fun fact about Hopelessly Devoted: It's actually a substitution for Sandy 's original ballad, Since I Don't Have You. The movie wrote Hopelessly Devoted specifically for Olivia Newton John because she couldn't reach the high notes in the other song. I don't blame her, the high notes in that song are insane, like borderline Mariah Carey it feels like half the time. Sadly, Hopelessly Devoted became iconic thanks to this movie and left Since I Don't Have You by the wayside to be forgotten. Give it a listen, it's a beautiful song and great for an audition.

[@357rbdee]

Thanks for the this, I found Susan Wood's version (beautiful) and wow, you were not kidding about those Mariah Carey notes!

[@tatianamelendez490]

@@357rbdee I know! It's great, right? I was introduced to it during a musical theatre workshop I was in a few years ago, and thought it a big shame that it's not performed more often. I would love to sing it sometime.

[@357rbdee]

Tatiana Melendez If I could sing it I would, but I absolutely do not have the range 😕. If anyone is interested here's a link to an audio only version of Susan Wood kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDUnXmnhKqhZ68 she hits the high notes with this clear tone that made me an insta-fan

[@mikurtis1767]

"Since I Don't Have You" was added to the 1990s Broadway revival. Sandy really doesn't have a big solo number in the original play---which seems odd given she's the female lead

[@klinksss]

I mean, I love Rizzo, but DAMN is Frenchy my favorite. She's got the colorful wigs, lovely giggles and bad jokes.

[@colleenheaterringtone2929]

We had to sing "Greased Lightning" for grade 3 choir and I distinctly remember that they changed the lyrics from "the chicks will cream" to "the girls will dream" and for the longest time, I believed this kidz bop version was the real one.

[@AllthePrettyPurses]

Wow... I always knew it was Annette, but I just thought Annette was another girl at their school -- always thought it was so weird that she was never in any scenes but I figured that actually introducing her would take away from the status of her legendary jugs.

[@klinksss]

One day I wanna be known for my legendary jugs.

[@strixlunaris]

Whoever made that animated intro had it out for Stockard Channing with how they did her face in the Mirror but made Olivia Newton-John relatively normal

[@floraposteschild4184]

As much as I love Stockard and the rest of the cast, everyone looks a minimum of 30 years old, and some closer to 40. Yet a younger cast wouldn't have the performing skills. I don't think it could be remade today as a film.

[@dm8595]

The lack of praise for ONJ and utter disrespect for “Hopelessly Devoted To You” should not be tolerated. Obviously it will be because I keep coming back and everything else was spot on but it shouldn’t be!

I love the natural delivery of “Episode 51.”

[@talistheintrovert]

fun? fact: during the drag race scene, the actress playing Cha Cha was unknowingly suffering from an ectopic pregnancy during that shoot and was in considerable pain throughout and only discovered why when she went to hospital afterwards. Which just makes her even more impressive! (Also what a FABULOUS review it made me want to rewatch Grease for the millionth time, brilliant job as always!)

If I was Stochard Channing and I saw that characture of me, someone would be in the floor, like really that’s how you think I look?!?!?!

[@torgo67]

I have lots of thoughts on Grease. 1 - It was the first movie I was ever allowed to see by myself in a theater. 2 - I bought the Fotonovel (basically a comic using stills from the movie), so I had big chunks of dialogue memorized. I actually bought the Saturday Night Fever Fotonovel before I saw the movie, which made for a hallucinatory experience when I finally did catch it. 3 - The Fotonovel (ugh) made it clear that they were going for a "Gift of the Magi" kind of thing with Danny & Sandy. They both changed to be what they thought the other wanted, but the other didn't really want them to change. But they found out new things about themselves in the process. 3 - It was illegal to have a sleepover without listening to the soundtrack at least twelve times. 4 - In defense of Dennis C. Stewart and Annette Charles (Crater Face & Cha Cha) - they were only 27 or 28 when they filmed Grease, which is certainly not high school age but also not ready for retirement, either.

[@montej11moon]

"He looks like Lorenzo Lamas". Um, that was Lorenzo Lamas in one of his earliest roles.

With all the references to Tim Curry and Rocky Horror in this episode, it's only fair that you know: Jamie Donnelly played Jan in the film Grease. She also played Magenta in the '74 L.A. cast of Rocky Horror. Barry Bostwick played Brad in Rocky Horror, he also played Danny Zuko in the '72 B'way debut of Grease.

[@JK-ij4ig]

Wasn't there a theory somewhere of the whole movie being a dream of Sandy's as she was dying on the beach when she drowned? The car flying into heaven at the end is when she actually dies.

[@alcibiadesz]

Doesn’t seem more like a rewrite of The Little Mermaid? They meet at the water, she wears full skirts to hide her tail, she gives him up takes off her shoes to return to the sea, changes her mind and puts her shoes back on, changes for him, shows up in the most “I have legs” pants ever, and the they ascend to heaven.

If I remember correctly Grease had a product placement deal with Pepsi which the set decorator didn't know about so it was easier to blur out that poster than do reshoots.

😮😮😮😮 My dad introduced me to Grease on a TBS July 4th sing-a-long special when I was 8 yrs. He was giving me as much nuance as a parent can to a child. For my 13th bday, He got me the Deluxe VHS edition w/ soundtrack on CD. I love this movie. I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this movie. Thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@C_M_R]

Both GREASE and PORKY'S had me confused as a kid in the 80s because I genuinely thought these movies were made in the 1950s. 😆

[@TheIgorgc]

I've just now learned grease wasn't made in the 50. I always fought so because John Travolta is so old.

[@IBGECKO]

As much as I'm enjoying this, and really wish I could be there with you with a drink in hand, I think I need to challenge you on the point of ONJ finding those pants at a thrift store. I've never seen any info about that, and she has always credited Costume Designer Albert Wolsky with putting the whole outfit together, except for the shoes. The red Candies were her own shoes, which she wanted to wear because she was comfortable in them, so they would be easier for her to dance. I've heard her in old interviews when asked if she took anything at the end of filming admit that she took the jacket and pants, and apologized to the Paramount wardrobe department. Obviously they were okay with that, lol. They sold at auction last year for a combined $405,000, all going to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Center. You are correct about her being sewn into the pants. The zipper was broken, and Albert Wolsky was afraid that if they tried to fix it they could ruin the pants, so she was sewn in in the mornings of the two day shoot, unstitched at lunch for a bathroom break, and then sewn back in. Temps were over 100 degrees, and she had to take only small sips of water so they wouldn't have to unstitch her for bathroom breaks!

I recently found out that "Grease lightning" was supposed to be Kenickie's number but John Travolta snatched it, so....we were robbed (or were we?)!! Sidenote, perfect breakdown of "fangul" Andrew :)

[@MeganSin]

Also I know I asked for this quite a few times but can we get a practical magic review? Mostly because stockard Channing looks much younger in the movies she started in the 90s plus I want to talk about everyone’s chest length hair and midnight margaritas. And the song, this kiss by faith hill because I always think of that song when I think of that movie and vice versa

[@jazminherrada7691]

Fun fact: The Spanish version of Grease is titled "Vaselina" (vaseline). A famous Mexican teen idol group called Timbiriche covered a lot of the songs in Spanish during the 80's. The covers are so fun and unique, you should give it a listen! They even did other musical song covers like Rocky Horror!!

[@storeytelling]

i had some kind of anniversary VHS of grease when i was little that i would literally watch every day. it had this like mini documentary at the beginning that was hella interesting but not when i was six and it was the hardest thing ever to rewind from the end of the movie to just the right spot without having to listen to all the grown ups talk for half an hour. also to piggy back onto how our child brains read this movie, i had never heard the phrase "i could run circles around those guys" outside of this movie and always thought danny was referencing when he ran around the car with the saran wrap. 😂

[@dmiller5765]

Some of John Travolta's choices in Grease remind me of his character in Welcome Back Kotter, '75-79. Grease came out in '78 so maybe he used a little of that. I see the SNF influence too. Loved your reactions. Holy cow, just checked the dates for Saturday Night Fever '77. Travolta had a pretty successful run for those years.

[@TheCinnamonBun]

The copy of Grease I had as a child was on VHS recorded from when it was on TV - the issue was the airing was mid afternoon in the UK probably on a Sunday, so a lot of lines had been cut for taste/adult themes. I also had on tape some kid friendly versions of the songs that had the innuendos all removed. When I saw a DVD version/an evening showing of Grease i can tell you I was SHOCKED AS HELL.

[@Aibheaog]

Oh, thank god I'm not the only one who had difficulty parsing their pronunciation of "Annette"

[@catspawgardner3213]

I just found out that Travolta used his popularity to get the solo to Grease Lightening when it was suppose to go to Conway. Since the car they were fixing up was his talk about a dick move Travolta already had two solos in the movie what a great way to take away a moment away from your cast mate.

[@annarose932]

Really really surprised you guys didn't quote Pandora's read of 'splunking' at 9:28

[@alikar5516]

I recall back in the day, there was talk about a movie script that was to be a sequel to the original Grease film. It was rumored to star Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears as Danny's and Sandy's daughter and Justin as the bad boy roughneck. I also heard there was a story line theory about the movie Grease. John Travolta's character Danny, was supposedly in a coma after suffering an automobile accident shortly after having to say his goodbye to Sandy. While being in a coma his mind was filled with all the images and scenes we experienced throughout the movie. Plus, it explains the ending when he technically dies and we see him floating towards heaven next to the woman he had always loved.

[@FantasticBeasts2024]

I love “Hopelessly Devoted”. But I agree that it’s too early. Cut “Oh Sandy” and have Sandy sing after the drive in or after the prom.

[@TomIdelson]

Few fun facts: 1. The only reason why they made Sandy Australian is because Olivia couldn't do an American accent. 2. It was in Olivia's contract that she had to sing another solo number, so they wrote Hopelessly Devoted especially for her but the song was ready after the entire shooting script was done, so Randal Kleiser the director, decided on the spot how to film it (and obviously it shows, but I think he did the best he could). 3. In the stage version, Sandy's reprise of Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee is a full song, but since they wrote her H.D.T.Y, they've shortened it for the film (I actually love this song). 4. Also in the stage version, all the songs we hear throughout the movie in the background, are sung by the other characters on stage. (there's a great interview with Randal Kleiser on RuPaul and Michelle's podcast What's The T worth listening to) I've seen this film soooooo many times and I think Travolta in it is the hottest man alive!!! What a great episode!!!! Love you both!!! x o x o x o x

[@daphnemaxwell149]

Grease was filmed at my High School (Venice High in Los Angeles) before I went there, of course. My locker was in a couple of shots in the film. I love seeing it whenever I watch the movie. My School looked very much the same as it did in the film when I went there, but now it has been going thru a major remodeling project over the last few years. It’s sort of sad that it won’t look the same anymore.

[@MISFITaddict]

I always specifically remember the way Kenickie looked after Danny goes to drive the vehicle like he definitely fakes the head injury so Danny could impress Sandy and win the girl back while simultaneously proving he can walk away from a fight, to impress Rizzo? Aka for pinks.? Idk 😆

[@mikailagray]

The grease soundtrack and the sound of music sound track were among the first that we purchased on iTunes when my older sister got her first iPod back in like 2004/5. Grease is a masterpiece.

[@MeganSin]

I remember this being one of the handful of movies the whole family would watch honestly idk why. This movie is so sexual. The fact that was 5-6 and knew that what they were doing in that car was “fun”...wow. But it’s a classic. Also as a hairstylist i can’t quite figure out how Frenchie messed up on tinting but i digress.

The principal from Grease plays the wicked stepmother in Faerie Tale Theatre's episode of Cinderella.

"Devoon" was a Jane Mansfield-ism. It was her characteristic way of putting a stamp on the word "divine." (See: Siouxsie and the Banshees' song "Kiss Them for Me" for another pop culture reference to this Mansfield calling card)

I'm sure a lot of you already know this. But just one quick fact about grease live. Right before the show is about to start they told Vanessa Hudgens her father had just died. And ask her if she wanted her Understudy to go on. But she decided to go through with it, after months and months of preparation for this life performance. So she can really pull in a lot of emotion during there are worse things I could do, as she's feeling a lot of emotions inside. She finished the performance and then flew back to say her goodbye to her dad .

[@catspawgardner3213]

They would've said in the movie that they were related. The only cousin Sandy had was Michael in Grease 2 because Frenchy told Michael "I told Sandy any cousin of yours is a cousin of mine." When Frenchy was there to greet him when he came to Rydell.

[@IBGECKO]

I think that was in the play. In the movie, it was never addressed how they know each other.
