In Xanadu did Kubla Kahn/A stately pleasure-dome decree/Where Alph, the sacred river, ran/Through caverns measureless to man/Down to a sunless sea

We don't know what that means but we did watch Robert Greenwald's Xanadu (1980) and on this episode we talk all about it: Kenny Ortega, Clarinet-playing Gene Kelly, Roller Skates, Olivia Newton John. This film has it all, but is it a Big White Elephant?

Live from Philadelphia, Grace and Scott meet in person to talk about their weekend trip before introducing a conversation about hand choreography, 30-somethings pretending to be teenagers, and a "database of asses" in Randal Kleiser's Grease (1978).
