Matt David and Dan talk the 1954 version of A Star Is Born with Judy Garland. Topics include the many remakes, ripoffs and antecedents, Judy Garland's crazy parabolic and often tragic life and James Mason's tiny little head. This episode was recorded a while ago, so if it seems like we're weirdly behind the ball on stuff we talked about earlier, that's why!
