    Xanadu and Grease 2 are such underrated movies! Everyone shits on them because they're "bad," but that's part of the charm. They're so bad they're good, and when you go into them fully knowing what you're getting into, you can enjoy the campiness of the movies and have a good time!

Please keep Western NC and Northeast TN in your thoughts & prayers and I know times are tight but if you have just a dollar to donate, it will be greatly appreciated.
