Good mornin'! Good mornin'! We talked the whole pod through... Yes, this week we've unintentionally crafted the perfect triple-bill, following up The Muppet Movie and Bowfinger with yet another showbiz comedy musical as we go puddle-splashing in our brightest yellow coats with 1952's Singin' in the Rain, co-directed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, and starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell and Rita Moreno. If comedy is the genre that does not hold up with the age, this just might be the exception that proves the rule as the film is just as dazzling and hilarious as it was 71 years ago, and it's influence is still felt today, quite notably in this summer's Barbie.

Beyond just Barbie, other movies discussed in this episode include: Talk To Me, Oppenheimer, Michael Clayton, Blue Beetle, Past Lives, Friedkin Uncut, The Exorcist, High Noon, The Greatest Show On Earth, Into the Woods, Detour, Fast X, and 80 For Brady.

If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along -- which in this case you absolutely should -- it is currently streaming on Crave in Canada at the time of publication.

We'll back next week most likely talking Rian Johnson's conman caper The Brothers Bloom, which is currently streaming for free on Tubi.
