  • Grease (feat. Kai Yaniz)
    2025/03/26
    Grease is the word on this episode of Close Watch with Robert Yaniz Jr., which also closes out our recent series on movie musicals. So we’re heading back to Rydell High to revisit the 1978 blockbuster that made a vibe of summer lovin’.

    With its unforgettable soundtrack, iconic performances from John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, and a rebellious streak that sets it apart from other musicals of its time, Grease remains a pop culture powerhouse decades later.

    Joining Robert for this high-energy discussion is his wife and frequent Crooked Table guest Kai Yaniz. She brings fresh insight into its star-making performances, surprisingly edgy sensibility, and the message of its ending.

    Plus, we each rank our top six favorite songs from the film. Does Grease still rule the school, or has time changed our perspective on this high-octane classic? Strap in for a ride in Greased Lightning as we break it down and maybe break into song.

  • Moonwalker (feat. Russ Robinson of Infectious Groove Music)
    2025/03/12
    Michael Jackson didn’t just dominate the charts—he redefined the music video and took it to the big screen with Moonwalker.

    On this episode of Close Watch with Robert Yaniz Jr., we take a deep dive into Michael Jackson’s 1988 film. Part music video anthology, part retrospective, and part sci-fi parable, Moonwalker also serves as a quintessential (and often overlooked) piece of Michael Jackson’s visionary career.

    Joining this discussion is Russ Robinson of Infectious Groove, which itself focuses on music and the artists who shaped it. Together, we discuss how Moonwalker serves as a time capsule of Jackson’s career at the height of his power, what the film reveals about his artistry and legacy, and how it continues to fascinate fans.

    Of course, we couldn’t talk about Moonwalker without celebrating the King of Pop’s legendary music videos! We each rank our top six Michael Jackson music videos. But will any of the tunes from Moonwalker make the cut, and is the film truly an underrated gem? Grab your fedora, hit play, and let’s find out!
