This week, we head back to school with our favorite T-Birds and Pink Ladies to see if this follow up to a musical classic deserves graduating or should be expelled.
So here we are.
And one of the reasons why I am doing this movie with you, not only because I'm interested in looking at some kind of musical sequels now going forward, but when it comes to Grease 2, this is a movie that... to the best of my knowledge, is universally panned across the board.
At the time it came out, it was a gigantic flop, and critics did not like it.
And even Alan Carr, one of the guys that was associated with the first Grease, said that this still brings a frown to his face.
But through that and throughout the years, it has gotten like a big cult following and people love Grease 2.
I mean, even Andrew Garfield promoting Tick Tick Boom back in the day, he said that Grease 2 is one of his like top five favorite musicals.
And he says, it's great.
This is controversial.
It's weird.
I know it's weird.
So I wanted to ask you because you are someone that also loves Grease 2 and I wanted to give you the opportunity here before we really dive into the plot, the songs, the structure, just to kind of start us off on a positive note of what Grease 2 has meant to you and why you like it so much more than Grease 1 or just more than any other musicals in general.
