Episode 134 - Staying Alive
On the first episode of 2023, the gang is ringing in the new year with a discussion of one of the worst sequels of all time - Staying Alive. Of course, when you’re talking Staying Alive, you must discuss the seminal 1977 film - Saturday Night Fever. The guys couldn’t start of the new year alone, so they welcome back one of the hosts of the Watch/Skip+ Podcast, Jose. Is Staying Alive one of the worst sequels of all time? Does a film directed by Rocky Balboa and staring Vinnie Barbarino deserve a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes? Can you guess who hated it the most? (Spoiler - I bet you’re wrong!)
