Wait... Does this mean I'm a THESPIAN??? 😮 I literally had the same reaction as you, but, being a "thespian" (wink wink), I sat there wheezing for five minutes at that joke!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Also, I'd like to mention the reaction Lydia has to the "it felt so real" line from Cynthia. It was clear that she thought Cynthia had figured out her own "thespian-ness" already, and then in less than half a second did a bunch of queer math and fixed her face to not freak out Cynthia. That is some great covering and major props to Lydia's actress for doing that whole journey in a blink and you'll miss it moment ❤ ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Yes the subtleties are soo good! Made me want to dive deeper into what lydia went through before cynthia! My initial thoughts were she had done this a few times before and she dropped them as she mentions later that "shows" curtains go up then down and its over. Especially since we find out she avoids these feelings from her last heart break. But cynthia was different and confusing and ahhh we just need more of them and more lydia!
I can’t believe it was canceled and is gonna be removed from paramount+ 😭 all we can hope is that another streaming service picks it up for a season 2 🤞
Love this reaction, this series has become an absolute favorite of mine. I havent seen the original in YEARS so it's interesting hearing your perspective!
I have pitched an idea over at Hulu to save Rise of the Pink Ladies! If you have hulu/disney+ you can login and vote for it! 100 votes gets it reviewed for a possibility to be picked up! community.hulu.com/s/idea/0875f000000Eg3WAAS/detail
I'll admit it, I had a soft spot for Buddy since the first episode, and the journey that he went on really got to me. I was honestly like, he could end up with Jane or Hazel and I wouldn't complain. He's proving that he's becoming a loyal lover boy.
hoping when (not if, when) the show continues we'll get the same for Wally - whether Hazel ends up with Buddy, Wally or just on her own I want to see him stop making excuses for his friends, or at least for the guys who spiked the punch bowl. They gave us enough hints to suggest at character growth, along with Buddy. Kind of have the idea of the Socs splitting with Buddy, Wally, Susan and Dot (at least) breaking off their friendship with the others and turning into the two groups of 'Socs who do and say awful things' and 'Socs who have stopped making excuses for the Socs who say and do the awful things', and maybe just add a bit of variety to their clothes, even if its just experimenting with a letterman jacket and jeans rather than just wearing khakis all the time. I can see them forming a sort of alliance or understanding with the Pink Ladies without going full greaser.
30:45 Here's the quote: "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players;" It can be taken in one context on it's own with hose two lines, but it can be seen in a different light when you read the whole speech - from 'As You Like It' (one of the ones set in the forest where cross-dressing is a main theme) said by the Melancholy Jacques who I think says it for little reason other than just to say it or to get some focus, he focuses on chiefly being melancholy no matter what's going on around him: "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin’d, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
I'll be honest, I was not a fan of the show..... but the idea of a property so quickly being erased from availability without even a physical release is just odious.
@@Leelghost and now that the show's been nominated for two Emmy's and an HCA award, I think it's safe to say Paramount has really gone and shot themselves in the foot. Won't do the platform any favours if they can't even show so much as an 'Emmy-nominated show'
11:56 I know this sounds extremely stereotypical of me, but I just suddenly wondered if the white guy who said "we have been welcoming Italians into our club for almost five years now" might be a closeted gay man. Though I think I mostly wondered that because for a second I thought he looked a bit like John Waters without the moustache and then realising he didn't really (and in any case John Waters would never shave off his iconic moustache).
@@Leelghost now you've got me wondering 'who has which guardian angel who will visit them at the frosty palace?' I know we can't give EVERYONE a guardian angel scene but you can still wonder who has what kind of angel. In any case, when I say everyone I'm only thinking Jane Olivia Cynthia Lydia Susan Dot And (because who said teenage girls are the only ones who need guardian angels?) Richie Buddy Potato Shy Guy Gil and maybe Wally if we get enough character development. Specifically now I'm thinking: Who'd get the angel of the theatre, Lydia, Cynthia or Shy Guy?
@@Leelghost same. May I ask what are some of your favorite numbers from the show? Mine are “I want more”, “The Boom”, “hand Jive”, “Face to face”, “grease is the word”. Not in that order though.
@@Leelghost oh I forgot about crushing me! And to show you how “obsessed” with grease I am, back in April and the beginning of may, when episodes where just coming out, I would always watch a new episode every Thursday on the Bus ride after school on my phone.
#SaveROTPL Idea I had for season 2 - for Mrs Facciano and Wally to both get a bit of a rude awakening when they both watch the 1948 Gregory Peck movie 'Gentleman's Agreement'. A reporter decides to pretend to be Jewish for a month or two to get a fresh angle on antisemitism in America, not really getting that its kind of messed up to do (the woman who wrote the book the movie was based on was Jewish and that was the plot line of her book as well) and even though as his soldier best friend who actually is Jewish pointed out to him that 'you're trying to fit a lifetime experience into a few weeks' (the actor who played the best friend John Garfield was actually Jewish and usually played the tough guy lead character rather than the secondary best friend role but he wanted to be in this movie in that role) and discovers about the other lesser kind of racism, the people who don't say racist slurs or throw stones but who still believe that they're superior or blessed to be born Gentile instead of Jewish and whenever they're called out for their prejudiced mindset get upset and accuse the other person of heckling them, the kind of "nice" people who when they hear someone else say a racist or prejudiced slur to try and get laughs don't laugh and despise the person who said it but who don't say anything themselves and let it slide, "the people who hate it and despise it help it along and then wonder why it grows". The main scene I'm thinking of in regards to Mrs Facciano and Wally being the storyline with the secretary who is Jewish and didn't get the job when she applied under her real name but got the job when she applied under a changed name, but when the magazine she works for changes its employment policy says "You don't really want things to change here do you?", "I mean, just let them let one or two of the bad ones in and it's going to come back on us" because she believes that she's the "right" kind of Jewish person so she deserves to work there and says "It's no fun being the fall guy for the Kikey ones", so she's also developed an internalised racism against herself basically and is as good as letting prejudice thrive because she's as good as supporting it. I want to hear more of Wally's story and I wanted to see him and Mrs Facciano wonder if they're supporting the same people who would tear them down in a second if they had the chance.
This is a super fascinating take! And i would love to see them delve deeper into these themes for sure. When (not if 😌) we get a new season I would love some of the focus to definitely go to these too and their different responses to racism. Idk if the writers would do it but it sure as hell would be incredible
@@Leelghost We can only hope they'll take it. There's a chance they might - re that first episode when Buddy told the Socs that he was going steady with Jane, that jerk who told everyone that Jane had gone all the way with Buddy after Buddy lied to him and said they did because "that's how guys talk" said something really jerky about it, and Wally said to Jane "you'll get use to his humour, we all have". I mean that's basically a door left open from ep one for a conversation about "what you say when you're with your friends, how much of it is genuinely you and how much of it is you just copying what they're saying?" and "did he ever make jokes about you? Did you ever call him out for it? Did he ever apologise? Have any of them done anything to show that they're your friend?". I can definitely hear Hazel confronting him about it - and we know her confronting him about stuff his friends say was what attracted her to him in the first place so there's a good chance he'll listen to her eventually. A bit of me now just wants to see Buddy, Susan, Dot and Wally just drop that jerk as a friend at least - not fully leaving the Socs but splitting them at least, and that could send an interesting message to the school if the Socs are divided. For Mrs Facciano I think I'd like to hear her talk to her daughters or at least to her husband more about her experiences with racism and why she pushed them to not identify as Puerto Rican. Just one scene with it at least. And I still like my idea of her having to sub for the history teacher at Rydell and teaching the students about Puerto Rico. Side note, you should definitely watch that movie, 'Gentleman's Agreement' - not only because it kind of turns the 'woke nonsense' complaints on their head since that's a movie about prejudice in America that came out in 1948. #saveriseofthepinklaides
So Frenchy is Mexican she's the only one who looks like a white girl who would've thunk it? Also anyone thinks that Cheyenne Isabel Wells looks a little like Taraji P. Hensen
The songs are to modern for this era where are the 50'60' feel i watched many youtube videos of this show and it feels all wrong it just doesn't fit its like there trying to caters for the modern younger generation with a more modern songs but set the show in a classic 50's times with the cars costumes and environment settings why is just dont work. Shame as it all looks good i do like it but the songs just doesn't fit its a miss match should of made a more modern looking show instead of trying to use the grease name and look to get people interested to it but leaving out the main music that the show is set in.
Watch Part 2 here! It includes episodes 6 through 10! vimeo.com/872793397
"Dipstick" was probably from Cynthia shouting it on the first episode in 'Grease is the Word'. HAPPY LAST DAY OF SUMMER, DIPSTICKS! 🎉😂
I realized it weeks later while listening to Grease is the Word. Cynthia's impact 😂

I love grease rise of the pink ladies!! I love episode 5; I replaying merely players!!
Such a good song! Definitely in my top 10 of the series!
30:45 Here's the quote: "All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;"
It can be taken in one context on it's own with hose two lines, but it can be seen in a different light when you read the whole speech - from 'As You Like It' (one of the ones set in the forest where cross-dressing is a main theme) said by the Melancholy Jacques who I think says it for little reason other than just to say it or to get some focus, he focuses on chiefly being melancholy no matter what's going on around him:
"All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
I love grease with a passion.
Same! The more grease the better 🥰
@@Leelghost right I can't find it to watch for free though. 😭
I'll be honest, I was not a fan of the show..... but the idea of a property so quickly being erased from availability without even a physical release is just odious.
I think fan or not this is definitely something that will affect all streaming. Now that paramount has done it, it opens the doors for others
@@Leelghost and now that the show's been nominated for two Emmy's and an HCA award, I think it's safe to say Paramount has really gone and shot themselves in the foot. Won't do the platform any favours if they can't even show so much as an 'Emmy-nominated show'
❤ Jane is my favorite
Love her and all the pink ladies! So hard to choose!
Ooooh I’ve been waiting for this one!!!!
Hope you enjoy!!
So excited you’re doing a reaction video for ROTPL 💖
I had to! I'm so obsessed ❤️
Did you know that this was originally supposed to be on HBO instead of Paramount+?
Were you forced to take down the video for episodes 6-10?
Man, I really liked that video!
Unfortunately yes! Im looking at options to upload it to another site and link it to this video
hey i finally found your youtube! i watched your whole titkok series
Wow thank you so much! 🥰
@@Leelghost can’t wait for part 2! Even though I watched your whole series on TikTok
loveandrespectme theres a lot more! Just waiting for the copyright stuff to clear 🤞🤞
Take a shot everytime you say 👿SuSaN👿
*passes out*
:( I want to see the second part
Unfortunately was taken down by Paramount but im working on a way to link it to this video at least
❤❤❤❤

This comment is incredible and just opened my mind to john waters being another angel type character like teen angel and the angel of fashion 🤔
@@Leelghost now you've got me wondering 'who has which guardian angel who will visit them at the frosty palace?'
I know we can't give EVERYONE a guardian angel scene but you can still wonder who has what kind of angel.
In any case, when I say everyone I'm only thinking
Jane
Olivia
Cynthia
Lydia
Susan
Dot
And (because who said teenage girls are the only ones who need guardian angels?)
Richie
Buddy
Potato
Shy Guy
Gil
and maybe Wally if we get enough character development.
Specifically now I'm thinking: Who'd get the angel of the theatre, Lydia, Cynthia or Shy Guy?
I love this series so much, being a grease fan. How do you like it?
Not to be controversial but...i think it has potential for me to like it more than I love Grease and I REALLY love grease 😅
