Just a quick post this evening to share my latest blind spot episode. This month Manda and I are talking about the 1980 cult classic Xanadu. Oddly enough I had seen the stage musical adaptation in February before seeing the movie, and I definitely see the appeal. I just wish the acting and story lived up to the hype.

Unfortunately Olivia Newton John and Michael Beck have no chemistry as our leads and their acting is very flat. It’s fun to see Gene Kelly in his final role but I think it’s probably something better for the stage than a movie. I don’t know if it gets iconic so bad it’s good territory for me. What do you think?
