Grease 2 (with Bob Thompson)

Hi there! In this episode we're going back to the biggest film of 1982. Okay, well maybe not. But today's film still holds a warm place in my heart - as well as this week's guest - Bob Thompson. Of course, we're talking about the film that introduced us to songs like 'Reproduction,' 'Back to School' and 'Lets do it for our Country' (as well as introduced me to Michelle Pfeiffer). That's right - Grease 2! *Standing ovation*
And while it's argued this film may have killed the franchise it still gave us incredible banger track after banger track that rivals even the original Grease's soundtrack. Yes, I mean that with absolute sincerity. Don't judge me! Just sit back and enjoy the smooth sounds of this week's show.
