All Singing, All Dancing, All Skating! Movie Musicals of 1980 w/ Kevin Maher, Joe DiPietro and Kate Wilkinson
Frank welcomes Emmy-nominated writer-comedian-author Kevin Maher ("Santa Doesn't Need Your Help"), writer-actress Kate Wilkinson and Tony-winning composer Joe DiPietro ("Memphis," "Nice Work If You Can Get It") for a critical and frequently comical analysis of movie musicals (and "movies with music") released in the year 1980, including "Popeye," "The Apple," "The Jazz Singer," "Can't Stop the Music" and "Xanadu." Also in this episode, Lily Tomlin (almost) plays Olive Oyl, Rex Harrison is upstaged by a parrot, Neil Diamond follows in Al Jolson's footsteps, and the panel shares its affection for "The Blues Brothers" (and the "Xanadu" stage musical). PLUS: Mr. Boogalow! The cinema of Roy Orbison! Kate accompanies Linda Ronstadt! Kevin reveals the traumas of TV detectives! And Joe writes musicals about Elvis, Tom Jones and Ol' Blue Eyes!
