Summary

We're heading back to Rydell High with "Doody" from Grease!

Barry Pearl joins Jenna and Kevin to chat about one of the most iconic musical films ever! He takes us back to the early days of the stage production of "Grease," his journey to auditioning for the movie, and the 'perfectly timed' gag that got him the role right on the spot! Plus, he spills on what the cast really thought about each other, the co-stars he still keeps in touch with, and gearing up for the film's big 50th anniversary!
