Tell Me More, Tell Me More: 'Grease' (1978) with Jamie Homs

Madeline, Julian, and Emilio are joined by guest Jamie Homs as they continue their High School Movies cycle with a "Suggestion Box" episode on the original high school musical, Randal Kleiser’s “Grease”. While Madeline and Jamie have lost count of the number of times they’ve visited Rydell High, Julian is coming in with fresh eyes as a first-time viewer! Does the magic of this bright and peppy classic work without the nostalgia of watching it as a kid? The group discusses the characterization (and debated lack thereof) of the Pink Ladies and T-Birds, assisted by a former Rizzo herself! And of course, no conversation would be complete without discussing the ultimate “Grease” conspiracy - did she really drown?
