1952 – Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor combine their talents in one of the greatest big-screen musicals ever made, a two-time Oscar nominee that includes the songs “Good Morning,” “Make ‘Em Laugh” and the iconic title tune. When Hollywood attempts the transition from silent films to talkies, a matinee idol (Kelly) hopes to make the cut. But he’s hampered by a silent-movie queen (Jean Hagen) with a voice like fingernails on a blackboard.

Ratings: Ashley – 4.75/5 Justine – 4/5

In our return from hiatus we delve into this classic musical- and that means lots of singing by us! We discuss (somewhat) terrible musicals including the controversial La La Land, comic book adaptations like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, and lots and lots of nerdy film talk.

The Cutaways are Ashley McKinney and Justine Gendron.

Music by Jimmy Natividad.
