Find yourself someone who loves you as much as Evan loves musicals

MOVIES IN DEPTH, Kenickie didn’t forget her name when they were fooling around in the car. She told him to call her by her first name. Her first name is Betty and her last name is rizzo. Her birth name is Betty Rizzo. Elvis was a choice for the teen angel When Rizzo (the character) says “Elvis, let me be.” That scene was filmed on the day Elvis died When Kenickie says “ a hickey from Kenickie is like a hallmark card” the actor actually gave the actress for rizzo a hickey so she didn’t need makeup to make the hickey. The leather pantsuit sandy wears at the end. She had to be sewn into it Sandy is originally just from a different state but Olivia couldn’t do an English accent like the producers wanted so they made Sandy Australian

Olivia Newton-John held an auction with her old clothes including her Grease costumes to raise money for her Cancer battling charity (being a survivor of cancer herself). Someone donated an unbelievable amount of money for her black leather outfit, and then gave it back to her (without asking for the money back) because they said they couldn't imagine anyone else wearing it apart from her.

A little grease trivia for you! Olivia took her shoes off when she was on the hill cause she kept slipping off the hill thats why she almost tripped when she ran down. Also the reason why Marty wasnt dancing in the big contest scene is cause she was the only one in the cast that didn't know how to dance so thats why shes near the camera

I have such an emotional attachment to this movie. My parents met in a local production of the play. Originally Danny took ChaCha to the dance and ditched her for Sandy. They sanitized the story a lot from the play, and removed a couple songs and subplots.

I don't know what's funnier, that the Teen Angel is roasting Frenchie mercilessly, or that all her friends are agreeing with him

Since you mentioned her, Vanessa Hudgens actually did a decent job as Rizzo in Grease Live. Might be worth commenting on 🤷🏻‍♀️

My dad hated John Travolta and would whine every time the family wanted to see a movie he was in, for most of my entire life. I finally asked him why when I was in my early 20s. His answer? He just always hated Danny Zuko. hahaha This man hated this fictional character for something like 30+ years!!🤣😂🤣

"You're The One That I Want" is an absolute bop!

This is one of the few teen romance musicals that actually works for me because it's so fun and campy. I actually didn't watch this until high school when my dramma class was trying to decide what play to do. The main romance definitely didn't age all that well, but the humor and the way the characters interact with each other are what really sell it for me. "Greased Lightning" and "Hopelessly Devoted to You" are my personal favorite songs.

I remember one Christmas year where I watched The Greatest Showman when they released Encanto and 2021 West Side Story simultaneously. That year was magical for me cuz it made me admit my love for musicals and stop hiding it because my family doesn't share it. And my musical marathon has only begun.

Thinking of going the full way? Grease Grease 2 Grease Live! Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (it's been saved, though it's not for streaming yet, been brought to Apple TV and to Amazon (they still charge by the episode though), due for a DVD release in November.

THIS WHOLE SOUNDTRACK WILL ALWAYS BE TOP TIER🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

As kids my sisters and I made my uncle who always looked like a Greaser do a Grease performance with us for our parents. I was Kenickie, was doing the greasee comb through the hair thing, got it stuck and had to cut my hair off.

9:26 Apparently the original lyrics were "No, oh no Sal Mineo! I would never stoop so low!". Apparently Elvis died the same week they were shooting that scene so they gave their own little tribute to him by changing the lines to "Elvis! Elvis let me be! Keep that pelvis far from me!"

Apparently there's a theory that both Sandy & Danny died at the beach. They mention the lyrics from Summer Nights where he says "I saved her life she nearly drowned." And that they actually did drown and this is all like a fever dream or something like that. Which is why they go up in the sky at the end. Idk 🤷🏽‍♀

1. I worked at a three theatre movie group and this is one of which is a drive-in. Yes it was like that. Sometimes moving from car to car. 2. Also, "Up in Smoke", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Saturday Night Fever". 3. This was a great movie to take your honey to. I was in High School. 4. These songs kill for karaoke (especially Summer Lovin') 5. Marty/Diana Manoff is my honey😍😋 6. The last song was the curtain call. 7. "I'll give you 35c for the whole car, including your chick". 🤣 8. If you don't dig the all-star cast it's on you🙄 9. RIP ONJ 😭😇

13:06 Yeah but apart from the looks at the bonfire and the way they were waiting for his answer when's he invited him to meet her parents, I don't think Kenicke, Putzie, Doody or Sonny had any trouble with Danny being with Sandy. Like you said, she's a babe, what else do they car about

That feeling when you've never seen this movie, but I still watch your reaction for you. And for young John Travolta.

I remember doing dance class when I was younger and there was one year where the dance recital’s theme was Movie and Broadway Musicals. My dance mates and I danced to “Greased Lightning” (the original Broadway recording) and we got to wear pretty pink costumes that had little poodles embroidered on them. We also made our entrances and exits to the stage by driving little Barbie jeeps. ❤

I'm so glad that you guys collaborated on this movie. It's one of my favorite classic films.

With the diner date scene, I did actually believe Danny when he said he wanted some privacy 😂😂 y'all saw what his obnoxious friends did. To be fair though, he could've taken her somewhere else

I was dating this guy when I was 17, he was 25 (yes, I know) and very well versed in anything 50s and 60s, including being the best swing dancer in town. He and I were dancing at a party one night to "You're The One That I Want", and he was confused as to why I didn't sing Sandy's parts. When I told him that I'd never watched Grease, he immediately let go of me, went to grab a sharpie and wrote "WATCH GREASE" on my arm. Then he put on something else and we kept dancing. When I got home to my mom and sister the next day, I told them that I'd never seen the movie. They were appalled, and my mom put it on Netflix immediately. I sat up all night ordering 60s dresses from Ebay. My obsession with anything and everything 60s has stayed with me for what's now a decade. People can point and prod at things in this movie that aren't "politically correct" (there are RED flags tho) all day, but there's no denying that this movie is, and will continue to be, a timeless classic.

Oddly enough the only movie I've seen Sandra Dee in was the 50s version of 'Imitation of Life' (it'd been a black and white movie in the 30s) which actually discussed things like racism. Sandra Dee's character is a teenager in love with an older man who is clearly in love with her mother and she mistakes him just being friendly with her for something more, plus she's got issues with her mum because her mum's a famous stage actress and so hasn't been around as much as she would've liked. The racism issue comes in int he form of their African-American housekeeper and family friend - her is fair skinned enough to "pass for white", so if anyone asks her she is white and will even deny her own mother in front of others if it means she'll be able to further convince everyone that she's white.

Grease is my favorite musical it's up there with Hairspray❤❤❤❤

Oh, I would love to see Sister Act 1 & 2 at some point. Ta. 🧡

grease is always a classic!! love that y’all dressed for the theme 😎

I had no idea Grease was suppose to be parody. I have always thought it was suppose to be the way it is. hahah I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the Glee episode with Grease!! Looking forward to heading over to TEEN BEACH MOVIE- because I genuinely loved that one. Gotta be one of the newer Disney musical that I enjoyed post HSM ☺

The "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee" scene was filmed the day Elvis died and the line about him was added in to honor him.

Stockard Channing was 33 when she played Rizzo in this.

This movie will forever be a classic! ❤

YES!!! I love Grease. I don’t agree with the message though, but I love everything else about it. And I love the prequel show to it. What is your favorite song? Also good video.

Three legends omg!!!

I keep rewatching your commentaries together, and again, I would just love for the three of you to watch the Grease musical episode of Glee. Even when it is when the new kids is in the show, it´s one of their best episodes, and I´m sure it will be worth it for all of you, even for Benji!

I love this movie. I love the crossover.

I gew up listening to the soundtrack of this movie on my parents old LP player and it was the first movie I bought as a DVD, however I have always prefered Grease 2. Sadly not that many seem to have seen it

He didn't forget her name. Betty is Rizzo's real name.

Two of my favorite reactions Chanel’s collab ? Oh I won at life 💀

BENJI AND RIZZO YOU MISSED THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO DRESS AS THE PINK LADIES!!!! YOURE LITERALLY THE PINKPOPCAST!!!

This is the collab i didn't expect but love. I gotta say this vid was bitchin!😎

I just rewatched both Rocky Horror videos now I'd love to see a reaction of the three of you react to the Glee episodes of Grease.

Actually, because this was set in the 1950s, schools were still segregated (sadly), so that might be an explanation for why there were no black kids at Rydell. Come to think of it, there might have been objections to there being one black guy in Johnny Casino and the Gamblers band at the dance (played by Sha Na Na) at that time. In the original Broadway musical, I think the blonde kid had his own subplot. He was working on writing his own song called "Those Magic Changes". They play it in the background in the movie, and it's performed by Sha Na Na in its entirety on the soundtrack album. They also included it on Grease Live on TV (Aaron Tveit played Danny, Julianne Hough was Sandy, Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical was Rizzo, Carlos PenaVega from Big Time Rush was Kenickie, Carly Rae Jepsen of Call Me Maybe fame was Frenchy, Mario Lopez from Saved By the Bell was Vince Fontaine, and Eve Plumb- Jan from the Brady Bunch was the shop teacher). Marty also has her own song in the stage musical (on the soundtrack) where she sings about one of her GI pen pals, "Freddy My Love". There were several other songs that were deleted or replaced from the stage musical. In the original stage version, Kenicie was the one to sing Greased Lightning since it was his car, but the movie director thought Travolta needed to be featured in another song.

I know Benji does not like the new kids in Glee season 4-5, but they did a Grease musical episode, and I would love for you three to do a commentary on it!!

The pants she's wearing at the end were so tight, they literally had to sew her into them.

Travolta took away Kenickies moment to shine when he insisted on singing Grease Lightning which was not in the script 😢

I love Grease so much it's so good but in my opinion Grease 2 is just as good and soundtrack for the second film is really good as well

R.I.P. Olivia Newton-John

Rizzo is giving Freddie Mercury with the tight white t-shirt. 😎

21:02 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯💯

I love both channels. I am so glad that you Pink Popcast on your channel. I have had a huge crush on Rizzo. I didn't know that Rizzo was a part of Rupaul's Drag Race.

My man looking clean af with that leather jacket. Rosa Diaz approves.

I appreciate the BTTF reference ❤

John Travolta was in his early twenties (23) when he did Grease. And Olivia Newton-John was 29 y/o. All of them obviously not in their teens. But the acting was pretty good though. I think the guys are pretty funny and had some great chemistry as a group of friends. I still enjoy it even though it is a problematic movie.

So you know what this means…. We need a Grease 2 reaction!

I need a glee episode of you three where Evan and Benji break into song while Rizzo is just confused but goes along at the end BAHAHA

Fun fact:Elvis Presley was supposed to play the Angel in the Beauty School Dropout scene but it didn’t work out cause he had already passed by that time. Fun fact:The reason they have mattresses between the stairs in the scene is because Frankie Avalon(the angel) was scared that he was going to fall down from the stairs so they added the mattresses just in case if he fell

Imagine if these three did a collab with Dylan Is In Trouble! That would be LEGEN-wait for it-DARY! LEGENDARY! (Evan will get it! 😃)

There is a glee version of grease I just wanted to put it out there

All my worlds coming together!!!

You guys did rocky horror vs glee version episodes, i think you should watch glee's grease episode too. in fact there are a some glee specials yall could cash in: saturday night fever, west side story, etc etc that would be fun to watch!

I can never pass on over a musical 🎶 🎵

Hilarious trio.

HOW did I miss this???????? And I'm sorry, Rizzo, you wrong for not liking this movie

My grandma is actually friends with Patty simcocks

okay so here is the next question has anyone seen the live version of grease yet do you think you will still like it

Grease is a staple in my house. Since I was little my dad and I would watch this religiously and still growing up I would dance on his feet. Sandy was always me but rizz is literally my spirit animal.

This is my first time watching it, Thanks Evan.

asdfghjk this video is how i found out rizzo worked on drag race!!

Another thing that wouldn't hold up today is during Summer Nights one of greasers says "did she put up a fight" when talking about Danny "having sex" with Sandy.

8:45 Why is there a sign on the “powder room”? Does she need a sign in her own house?! 😂

✨️🎆💃🏿Dance to the beat the second season of Grease rise of the pink ladies is coming on 4/9/24 everyone 💖🎆✨️

I feeling the grease coat Evan

I know people hate it. but grease 2 is an good movie.

Moviesindeph you rock and my birthday was the 20th and t Grease is my favorite movie !!🎉

My Husband had crush on Olivia Newton-John.

Olivia Newton John you will always be my movie musical queen❤

Would you guys please consider watching Grease 2

talking to girls is so uncool MID, you just don't get John Travolta 😂

betty rizzo is her full name.

Would you consider watching Grease 2 for the 1-year anniversary of this vid?

I think the Live! version with Carly Rae Jepsen & Vanessa Hudgens is a bit less awkward (age & lack of POC, & cutting or tweaking the egregious stuff)

PLEASE WATCH GREASE 2 TOGETHER!!!

Time for Grease 2!!

I wish my Elemental Legends story will be an anime one day my mom says I just have to think big and think positive cuz I always believe in you I'm succeeding

So many crossovers.

19:52 it’s Becky! It’s Becky and Sue from Glee!

Woot woot! More Mid-Popcast!!

I'm pretty certain that the musical Grease, the original, is a parody making fun of this era of romances. It was supposed to counter the trope where the woman made the man more sympathetic and where things such as teen pregnancy were avoided. It might be why the romances are a bit odd, but tbh I love the movie anyway.

Lol. Not “the riverdales” lol

RIP Olivia Newton John.

This movie came in 1978 but it's definitely a classic! I have been watching it since I was kid with Mom!

I gOt ChIiLs!!!!!!!!!

Came here after the twitch stream with Billy, I had to come see this reaction video I love this movie

can y’all get back together and react to grease 2?

rizzo and frenchie were my favs

One criticism that I don't agree with when it comes to the movie Grease is that people say that Sandy's change yourself for Danny when in reality she did nothing of the sort during the song You're the One That I Want it's an agreement between Danny and Sandy and she dresses like that to get his attention and tell him hey this is what you'll be missing out on and Danny was willing to go drop just so he could please her

Drive - in's had swing set's for little kids to play on before the movie started

All of you as Greasers are ❤

I've never liked that Sandy had to change herself to get Danny. I know Danny tries to change himself too, but...... am I alone in this?
