b"Xanadu is a musical fantasy film directed by Robert Greenwald, starring Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, and Michael Beck. Containing a soundtrack heavily featuring the music of the band Electric Light Orchestra, Xanadu followed the story of a struggling artist in Los Angeles, who suddenly finds himself in the company of a mysterious woman, who encourages him to open a nightclub alongside a former big band orchestra leader, and mysterious circumstances abound. Though the film was a failure commercially and critically, and even helped inspire the creation of the Golden Raspberry Awards, the film would develop a strong cult following, even inspiring a Broadway show based on the film, and several songs from the movie would become Billboard top 40 hit singles.

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, with the recent passing of Olivia Newton-John fresh in their heads, Lilz and Scott sit themselves down for an impromptu screening of Xanadu. Join them as Scott flubs Michael Beck's name, Lilz eats delicious chicken wings, and both of them do egregiously bad Australian accents.

Seriously.

The worst.

...with Lilz & Scott!"
