Really Awful Movies: Ep 34 – Xanadu

May 23, 2015

A fantasy, a musical, a place where dreams come true…for some, it’s more of a nightmare and more of a Xana-don’t.


However, there is something undoubtedly charming about this Olivia Newton-John MEGA-flop, which co-stars the late great Gene Kelly and Warrior Michael Beck.


A roller-skating artist, who doesn’t know the meaning of the term “muse” (!) meets a sprite on the beach and tries to romance her. He seeks advice from a beach clarinet-playing dandy (!) who wants to open a nightclub with him.


Then things get weird.


Thanks to Robin Bougie of Cinema Sewer for the tip-off.
