You can't walk out of a drive-in.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as we're heading back to high school in the 1950s to get our faces on American Bandstand. We're racing for pinks in our 74th episode as we discuss:

  • Who turned down Danny Zuko and which actor played the part in the stage show
  • Who are two actresses rumoured to have turned down Sandy before Olivia Newton-John got the role
  • How does the film look with 2021 sensibilities and should that matter? 
  • Why does the film look so wonderful in some of these numbers?
  • Is Olivia Newton John a bad actress or is it just bad writing
  • There's a great story about Stockard Channing's name
  • Whether Sandy is the good person she presents herself as
  • We share some anecdotes about our personal histories with the film and stage show
  • Which song was supposed to be sung by a different character until a bigger star played the diva card
  • Which fact about the film frustrates Liam because he's heard it so much
  • Which BFE alum appears in Grease in an uncredited role and blows Liam's mind
  • Whether or not Grease is the Best Film Ever
