EP. 285.1 — Matinee Monday: Xanadu LIVE w/ Michaela Watkins

If you’ve ever roller-skated, then this movie is for you! Recorded LIVE at Largo in Los Angeles, special guest Michaela Watkins joins Paul, June, and Jason to talk all about the Olivia Newton-John & Gene Kelly musical Xanadu. They’ll cover everything from the opening dance montage where the muses come out of a mural portal, the animation sequence that was basically the sex scene, and Gene Kelly’s memory boner. Plus, we discover why Zeus has a British accent during audience Q&A!

UPCOMING TOUR DATES IN: San Francisco, San Diego, the UK, & Ireland! Go to hdtgm.com for tix and info.
