Grease Director Randal Kleiser joins Host Harry Medved on a road trip down memory lane and down the L.A. River with recollections of filming the world’s greatest high school musical at Malibu’s Leo Carrillo State Beach and under the Sixth Street Bridge, where Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy cheered on John Travolta’s Danny in the climactic Thunder Road hot rod race.

Directors Will Gluck and Joe Dante reveal secrets of their iconic location shoots at L.A.’s most famous movie landmark, while Host Harry Medved joins Hollywood Sign guide Diana Wright on the grounds of the legendary beacon. Here they recall the Hollywood Sign’s cinematic legacy, why it is always getting destroyed in the movies and debunk a myth almost as big as the sign itself.

Host Harry Medved and comedian/superfan Dana Gould visit the forgotten graveyard where cult movie director Ed Wood shot Bela Lugosi’s final movie scenes, later reappearing in Wood’s flying saucers & zombies epic, Plan 9 From Outer Space. Along the way, authors Katharine Coldiron and Bob Blackburnjoin the crew to unearth the private Hollywood studio for the 1950s.
