Welcome back to Rocksgiving, our musical movie month of November. Join Dustin and Patrick for recap of the bonkers 1980 musical fantasy Xanadu. We try to make sense of the kooky plot involving a muse bringing inspiration to frustrated artist Sonny, who dreams of opening a glitzy nightclub. Packed with big stars, flashy musical numbers, and plenty of head-scratching absurdity, Xanadu was a notorious flop that has since become a cult classic. Tune in as we break down the strangeness, from the awkward Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John romance to the trippy, logic-defying moments.
