This week Every Rom Com continues our high school movies series with one of the most popular musicals of all time - “Grease”! We discuss cast members John Travolta and Stockard Channing, talk about our favorite songs and most relatable Pink Ladies, and sift through the feminist and not-so-feminist aspects of this late 70’s film. We’re joined this week by returning guest, Steve from the For me these Films R the Juice movie podcast!
