John Travolta returns as sweaty strutting disco stud Tony Manero in this misguided sequel to Saturday Night Fever co-written and directed by… Sylvester Stallone? Tony makes a brazen leap from Brooklyn to Bizarro World Broadway (and from the ’70s to the ’80s) but soon finds himself not in a love triangle, but a love pentagon as he vies for the lead role in a dizzyingly demented Dante-meets-disco dance revue provocatively titled Satan’s Alley (not to be confused with Tropic Thunder’s monks-in-forbidden-love fake film). Javi, Paul and - divinely - Producer Brad embark on their most chaotic episode yet as they are relentlessly pummeled with headbands, leotards, lens flares, slow-mo, possible vampires, and the very apotheosis of The Frank Factor as director Stallone tries to turn this film into a career catapult for his brother to outshine the Bee Gees (who apparently didn’t appreciate this). In the immortal words of the film, “It’s a journey through hell that ends in an ascent to heaven. You might think it’s simple, but if it’s gonna work you gotta bust your asses!” And we did, so you don’t have to. Let’s strut!

Show Notes:

As Paul mentioned, Dennon and Sayhber, the choreographers for Staying Alive, offer classes. Here's the link to their site where you can sign up for dance classes.

We can't believe we forgot to discuss the trailer for Satan's Alley, the fake movie from the movie Tropic Thunder! You can watch the trailer here.
