Shownotes
This film that tried to capture the disco roller skate craze was released just outside of that zeitgeist. It's reception was negative to the point that it inspired the Razzie awards. But is the film that inspired The Golden Raspberry's really the worst film ever?
I'm joined again by Ethan to discuss a film that has had a cult following to the point where it has inspired a Tony nominated play.
Xanadu is directed by Robert Greenwald. It stars Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly and Michael Beck.
