    246: Movie Club GREASE 2 With Eureka O'Hara!

    Our girl for all seasons Eureka O'Hara joins me to talk the mirth, magic and mayhem of the undercover feminist cult classic GREASE 2! We get into what a T-Bird could mean these days, the majesty of Michelle Pfeiffer, shooting dance numbers before the songs are ready, the chaotic grandiosity of producer & impresario Allan Carr, the impact of RSO & Robert Stigwood on our culture, fan theories about Grease's Sandy (and our own theories about Frenchie), John Travolta, Maxwell Caulfield's brief moment of Hollywood Heat, Cool Rider and much much more.

    245: Movie Club UNDER THE CHERRY MOON With Jason Shawhan

    245: Movie Club UNDER THE CHERRY MOON With Jason Shawhan

    Nashville’s pre-eminent film critic, connoisseur & Prince devotee Jason Shawhan returns to Movie Club as we talk Prince’s 2nd film UNDER THE CHERRY MOON. We get into Prince’s ever-practical wardrobe choices, Jerome Benton’s woefully short film career, the rather progressive queerness of the film, “Martin Scorsese’s Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”, Wendy & Lisa, The Linn LM-1 drum machine, Prince’s proteges, Michael Ballhaus, smuggling pimento cheese across state lines, why this is Prince’s finest film, Morris Day & The Time, the sheer awfulness of Graffiti Bridge, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Siskel & Ebert missing the point and our own mistakes of believing received wisdom on this film - thus avoiding it - in younger days.

Absolute delight in insanity

As a certified biological woman, I can attest that this podcast is quality entertainment to anyone interested in whimsical conversations between two pals and guests. The rhythm is different than most podcasts and takes some adjusting to, but Craig and Katya will take you on amazing insanity rides, paved with amazingly disgusting jokes.
Lots of love from Brazil ❤️
