Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the most underrated of MGM's great output of movie musicals. Brandon is joined by jazz singer Mary-Catherine Pazzano and her husband Dana Harrison to discuss 1954's Brigadoon. Vincente Minnelli's adaptation of the classic Lerner & Loewe musical is a mixed bag of highs and lows. Gene Kelly gives one of his finest acting performances while Cyd Charisse delivers some of her finest on-screen dancing. We also discuss the differences between the stage and screen versions and why Van Johnson practically steals the movie.
När Peter Jöback var liten hette hans bästa kompisar Judy Garland, Cyd Charisse, Gene Kelly och Fred Astaire. Hans mamma lät honom titta på musikaler när det var stökigt hemma. Några år senare blev han själv musikalartist och i mitten av nittiotalet sjöng han "Guldet blev till sand", en av de mest älskade svenska låtarna någonsin, i Benny Anderssons och Björn Ulvaeus "Kristina från Duvemåla". Parallellt med sitt arbete på scen har han haft en popkarriär och i våras kom albumet "Atlas" där han samarbetar med de brittiska artisterna Ed Harcourt, Kathryn Williams och Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Nu hälsar han på hemma hos mig för att prata om sina idoler George Michael och Elton John, om när han nästan fick gå på audition för en Woody Allen-film, om när RFSL outade honom på affischer över hela stan, om att vara mer indie än folk tror, om att sjunga duett med Kate Pierson från The B52's och Sia, om att komma näst sist i Melodifestivalen (men tröstas av Loa Falkman) och om hur allt sög 2002 ("Jag var olyckligt kär, skivan gick åt helvete och det var året då jag plattångade mitt hår").

EPISODE 30 - “Robert Walker: Old Hollywood's Tragic Boy Next Door” - 04/08/2024 No one played sensitive, lost souls quite like ROBERT WALKER.

We're talking musicals today! Samantha recommends Six, the musical about the six wives of Henry VIII, Indy goes classic with Gene Kelly's Singin' In The Rain, and we preview The Sound Of Music, which we will dive into next episode! Singin' In The Rain Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSE8sl2-PZg&ab_channel=WarnerBros.Entertainment The Sound Of Music Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygyK0HStjwg&ab_channel=ParkCircus Six is a British musical comedy with music, book, and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. It is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII, presented in the form of a pop concert. In the show, each of the wives (Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr) take turns telling their story to determine who suffered the most from their common husband. The musical was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, where it was performed by students from Cambridge University. Six premiered on the West End in January 2019, and has since embarked on a UK tour. An Australian production opened at the Sydney Opera House in January 2020. It premiered on Broadway in March 2020 and, following a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officially opened at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 3 October 2021.[6] Two North American tours, dubbed the "Aragon" and "Boleyn" tours, began in 2022. Singin' in the Rain is a 1952 American musical romantic comedy film directed and choreographed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, starring Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds and featuring Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell and Cyd Charisse. It offers a lighthearted depiction of Hollywood in the late 1920s, with the three stars portraying performers caught up in the transition from silent films to "talkies". The film was only a modest hit when it was first released. O'Connor won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and Betty Comden and Adolph Green won the Writers Guild of America Award for their screenplay, while Jean Hagen was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. However, it has since been accorded legendary status by contemporary critics, and is often regarded as the greatest musical film ever made and one of the greatest films ever made,[2] as well as the greatest film made in the "Freed Unit" at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It topped the AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals list and is ranked as the fifth-greatest American motion picture of all time in its updated list of the greatest American films in 2007. I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa

durée : 01:30:00 - Les Nuits de France Culture - "Mardis du cinéma - Tous en scène : Six personnages en quête de rêve" par Mireille Krauss. Tous en scène de Vincente Minnelli (1953) est une fable sur l'essence de la comédie musicale et sur les rapports qu'elle entretient avec la féerie du monde. Les personnages interprétés, entre autres, par Fred Astaire et Cyd Charisse se tiennent dans le huis-clos d'un univers circulaire où tout se dit en termes de poursuite d'un rêve de bonheur. * Pierre Coural s'était entouré de François Guérif, Dominique Rabourdin, Jean-Paul Török, Ado Kyrou et Alain Masson pour comprendre Vincente Minnelli et son film Tous en scène (The Band Wagon), un enchantement sur pellicule qui portait en lui une défense du métier de metteur en scène et le goût du divertissement, en somme une sorte de testament spirituel.

By the late 1950s, big-budget musicals were in color and wide screen, and MGM made several really great ones. Late-period Cole Porter wrote the songs, and Fred Astaire is paired with a much younger partner (surprise!), Cyd Charisse in this remake of 1939’s Ninotchka - Garbo’s last great film. For extra credit, watch both. Enjoy the comedy stylings of Peter Lorre and his commissars, and the delightful Janice Paige, too. Host Shelly Brisbin with Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

He has appeared in eight Broadway shows – including Ragtime, Smokey Joe's Café, Victor/Victoria (with Julie Andrews, Liza Minnelli, and Raquel Welch), Disney's Beauty and the Beast, The Goodbye Girl (with Bernadette Peters), Grand Hotel (with Cyd Charisse), Starlight Express and Honky Tonk Nights. He appeared in the New York City Opera production of Porgy and Bess, as well as performing in countless television specials, live corporate events and numerous Broadway National Tours – including Ragtime, Smokey Joe's Café, The Music Of Andrew Lloyd Webber (with Michael Crawford), Starlight Express (lead role of Electra), Five Guys Named Moe (featured as Eat Moe) and Joseph and His Amazing… (Benjamin Calypso vocalist).

We're back after a six month break. Less chat, more music this time round. We start with a very laid back Louis Armstrong and his version of Blueberry Hill. Billie Anthony was born Philomena McGeachie Levy in Glasgow in 1932. Here she sings her biggest hit, This Ole House. There were a few covers of this record in the British charts. Rosemary Clooney made no1 but Billie Anthony made no4. She had a great voice and it's surprising that her career had just petered out by 1960. Tony Martin stirs up passions with Kiss of Fire. He had a seven decade career and was married to Alice Faye and Cyd Charisse- but not at the same time! Strict tempo dance music next. Developed to standardise dance styles strict tempo bands never had a vocalist. I suppose it could be accused of being a little souless but in this section of records its comes over as chilled and relaxing. Two from the king of strict tempo Victor Silvester. A dancer himself he, along with Josephine Bradley, was a founder member of The Imperial Society of teachers of dance. Which I have to say does sound a tad pompous! Silvester sold 70 million records in his time. Check him out below. Its a fascinating read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Silvester Both Josephine Bradley and Henry Jasques were originally dancers. Indeed Jasques was British Ballroom champion from 1934 to 36. His 1944 book on ballroom is still a highly sort after work. Latvian born Oscar Rabin joins the strict tempo crew with Love is all. Jo Stafford had highly successful career over five decades. Opera trained her voice is very pure. She married the band leader Paul Weston and they produced alot of fine work together. They had a side project though: Jonathon and Darlene Edwards, a truly bad caberet act. Listen here, if you dare: https://youtu.be/NySAbB2JLII Some more obscure artists next. Victor Olof with Tancuf, a Slovakian dance, Harry Wulson yodelling in 1929. He produced a few such records but I cannot find a biog of him. The Accordion Emsemble were probably a Zonophone house band, here they play Espana Valise recorded in 1920. Gene Austin was extremely well known in his time. One of the first crooners he was also a fine songwriter, When My Sugar Walks Down the Street and, Forgotten Songs favourite, The Lonesome Road are just two of his compositions. Here he sings- I've grown so lonesome thinking of you. PIano duo and co bandleaders Victor Arden and Phil Ohman give us Kiddie Kapers. That leads us perfectly to two records on 45rpm. First a track that was very popular in my 1960s and 70s childhood. Sparky's talking piano. It was actually recorded in 1947 with the child actor Henry Blair voicing Sparky. The rather creepy piano's voice was created by a Sonovox voice processor. Which makes the human voice sound, well, both robotic and musical. It was invented in 1939 and had an early notable demonstration by Lucille Ball in a Pathe newsreel. We dissolve seemlessly from that to Sacha Distel singing Ich bin ein spielman. Back to 78s with with Coleman Hawkins with Half step down please. Tito Burns and his Sextet play Sloppy Joe. Burns had a career as a musician, accordian and piano, and as an impresario and manager. He discovered Dusty Springfield, managed Cliff Richard and organised the European tours of Simon and Garfunkle. We close with Joe Daniels and Drumnastics. Hope you enjoy it. Its good to be back.

Jessica's trip to a Caribbean resort is filled with sun, sand - and a murder investigation. Len Cariou and Cyd Charisse guest star.
A LONG TIME AGO IN THE 1954 MGM MUSICAL BRIGADOON: New York City gents Gene Kelly and Van Johnson are lost in the Scottish Highlands! They want to shoot some birds, but instead stumble upon a village that's not on the map… Brigadoon! Everyone's dancing around the town and preparing for a wedding that evening; meanwhile, sister of the bride Cyd Charisse gets to fall in love with Gene Kelly on the heathery hillsides. But something's weird, and it's not just the fake Scottish accents, the very tight tartan trousers, the two-dimensional mountains and all the day-drinking: it's that the village is under an enchantment whereby it only appears on one day every hundred years, and it will disappear forever if anyone tries to leave. Then someone tries to leave! Then Gene Kelly and Van Johnson have to leave before the village goes sleepy-byes for another hundred years. But Gene left his heart behind... Lucky for him, there's a special wake-up-Brigadoon-early clause buried deep in the small print of the enchantment, because of course there is. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate the 1954 MGM musical Brigadoon and its many, many mysteries, such as why choose an enchantment with SO many downsides, how Logan Echolls might have seen this, seriously why such a self-owning enchantment, whether the village's crops and foods stay fresh during the 100-year sleeps, and COME ON THINK THIS ENCHANTMENT THROUGH BEFORE CONDEMNING YOUR WHOLE VILLAGE TO IT.

Third time is the charm! Twice scheduled to grace my living room pre-pandemic, what a Thanksgiving gift Academy Award and Golden Globe Winner, George Chakiris is. Perfectly timed. Ridiculously easy on the eyes, he defies the passage of time and is as gracefully humble in word and deed as he is gliding across a dance floor, or the streets of the barrio, as the case may be. Forever, Bernardo, we dove into a multitude of his other films, from his first, singing with a boys choir opposite Katherine Hepburn in Song of Love, to background dancer alongside Marilyn Monroe, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosalind Russell, and Cyd Charisse, to name but a few. Taking his first dance class at 19, he did over a dozen films almost immediately, and went from gypsy to starring in the London production of West Side Story, as… wait for it, Riff. George had not only never acted, he'd nary taken an acting class, and yet in short shrift, he was earning an Oscar, as Bernardo opposite Rita Moreno, in the winningest musical of all time, besting Montgomery Clift, Peter Falk, George C Scott, and Jackie Gleason. A multitude of dramatic films followed, starring opposite Yul Brenner, Charlton Heston, Gene Kelly, Richard Widmark, and Yvette Mimieux, which names but a few. Fabulous stories about fabulous women, Judy Garland (genuis), Liza Minelli, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich, Shirley Jones, Natalie Wood, Elaine Stritch, and a great one about Elvis. As taken with all of the above as I think we'd be, George's refreshing humility is a gentle kiss to Hollywood glitz and glamour. Speaking of glitz, George parlayed his talent from the silver screen to sterling silver Jewelry, featuring necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more. BLING! I was shocked to discover he not only designes the gorgeous pieces, he silversmiths them into reality. Perfect holiday gifts for that very special someone. You? I've got my eye on one or two. georgechakiris.com I'm currently devouring George's memoir, My West Side Story, with story upon story of the movie and all that is George Chakiris's delicious life. https://amzn.to/30OeD36 These have been challenging days. Spending time with gorgeous George fills my gratitude jar to the rim. Just in time. Happy Thanksgiving. Please pardon the sound at the top of the show. Tech issues glitched the glitz.

Fifty-nine years ago today, production started on the film Something's Got To Give, but was never completed. It was to be a remake of the Irene Dunne Cary Grant screwball comedy My Favorite Wife (1940), staring Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and Cyd Charisse. It was Monroe's last work, but from the beginning its production was disrupted by her personal troubles, and after her death on August 4, 1962, the film was abandoned. Most of its completed footage remained unseen for many years. This episode is also available as a blog post. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/waldina/message

Chakiris has won multiple awards, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award for his dynamic role as Bernardo in the film classic, West Side Story.

Today I am thrilled and proud to present the superlative American mezzo-soprano Florence Quivar in a selection from her 1990 recording of spirituals. I am not the only person out there who thinks that her work here represents the pinnacle in the performance of African American spirituals as well as a high point in her singing career. I also feature live recordings of the artist in recital and in opera. And just when you least expect it, a certain gay icon pops in to offer some relevant and valuable musical commentary. Also included are brief tributes to two artists: the pop singer India Adams, who died on 25 April at the age of 93 and who provided the ghost voice for iconic performances by Cyd Charisse and Joan Crawford; and the Greek soprano Jeannette Pilou, who left an indelible mark in the 1970s with her performances around the globe of French opera in particular, and who died on 28 April at the age of 83. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glories of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great classical and opera singers of the past and present with the help of guests from the classical music field: singers, conductors, composers, coaches, agents, and voice teachers. Daniel’s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody’s core is the interaction between singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

This week on The Spectator Film Podcast… The Band Wagon (1953) 12.19.19 Featuring: Austin, Maxx Commentary track begins at 9:30 — Notes — “The Band Wagon” by Joe McElhaney from Senses of Cinema — Review of The Band Wagon from Senses of Cinema. “Minnelli, Vincente” by Joe McElhaney from Senses of Cinema — Great director profile from Senses of Cinema. “Two-Faced Woman” outtake from The Band Wagon — An excised song from the film. This number further emphasizes Cyd Charisse’s liminal position between Art and Entertainment, and the sets utilize the same art style found in the Isle of the Dead sketch transition. “Ghost singer India Adams appears” by Susan King from Los Angeles Times — This article’s surprisingly brief given its fascinating subject matter, but it still manages to shed some light on India Adams and the practice of ghost singing in Hollywood musicals. “The self-reflexive musical and the myth of entertainment” by Jane Feuer — This links to a PDF of a tremendously insightful essay discussing the concept of spontaneity within the musical genre. Feuer’s discussion of the musical’s valorization of spontaneity and improvisation is incredibly helpful for any examination of The Band Wagon. Genre: The Musical edited by Rick Altman — This is a truly fantastic anthology of essays on the (mostly American) musical. I’m not quite sure if it remains in print, but if you can get your hands on it we highly recommend picking it up. “Vincente Minnelli” by Thomas Elsaesser and “Art and Ideology: Notes on Silk Stockings” by Robin Wood were both helpful in guiding our discussion for this week, but The Band Wagon is mentioned by several more essays as well. We’ll include some relevant passages below: “Vincente Minnelli” by Thomas Elsaesser “For what seems to me essential to all of Minnelli's films is the fact that his characters are only superficially concerned with a quest, a desire to get somewhere in life, i.e. with any of the forms by which this dynamism rationalizes or sublimates itself. What we have instead, just beneath the surface of the plots, is the working of energy itself, as the ever-changing, fascinating movement of a basic impulse in its encounter with, or victory over, a given reality. The characters' existence is justified by the incessant struggle in which they engage for total fulfillment, for total gratification of their aesthetic needs, their desire for beauty and harmony, they demand for an identity of their lives with the reality of their dreams. Minnelli's films are structured so as to give the greatest possible scope to the expansive nature of a certain vitality (call it ‘will', or libido) – in short, to the confrontation of an inner, dynamic, reality and an outward, static one” (15). “Minnelli's typical protagonists are all, in a manner of speaking, highly sophisticated and cunning day-dreamers, and the mise en scene follows them, as they go through life, confusing – for good or ill – what is part of their imagination and what is real, and trying to obliterate the difference between what is freedom and what is necessity… What, in this context, characterizes the Minnelli musical is the total and magic victory of the impulse, the vision, over any reality whatsoever. The characters in his musicals transform the world into a reflection of their selves, into a pure expression of their joys and sorrows, of their inner harmony or conflicting states of mind” (15). “Thus defined, the world of the musical becomes a kind of ideal image of the medium itself, the infinitely variable material substance on which the very structure of desire and the imagination can imprint itself, freed from all physical necessity. The quickly changing décor, the transitions in the lighting and the colours of a scene, the freedom of composition, the shift from psychological realism to pure fantasy, from drama to surreal farce, the culmination of an action in a song, the change of movement into rhythmic dance – all this constitutes the very essence of the musical. In other words, it is the exaltation of the artifice as the vehicle of an authentic psychic and emotional reality. Minnelli's musicals introduce us to a liberated universe, where the total freedom of expression (of the character's creative impulse) serves to give body and meaning to the artistic vitality of the director, both being united by their roles as metteurs en scene of the self” (16). “The paradox of the musical, namely that a highly artificial, technically and artistically controlled décor and machinery can be the manifestation of wholly spontaneous, intimate movements, or the visualization of submerged, hardly conscious aspirations, becomes not only Minnelli's metaphor for the cinema as a whole, but more specifically, it makes up his central moral concern: how does the individual come to realize himself, reach his identity, create his personal universe, fulfill his life in a world of chaos and confusion, riddled with social conventions” (16-17). “Art and Ideology: Notes on Silk Stockings” by Robin Wood “The validation of ‘entertainment as against ‘art.’ ‘Entertainment’ – as something to be passively absorbed rather than actively participated in, dedicated to the discouragement of awareness – is a central ‘bourgeois-Capitalist’ concept and one inherent in the Hollywood musical as a genre, surfacing in the case of individual films as an explicit concern. The overt, if often only superficial, anti-intellectualism of a number of Hollywood musicals… is obvious… Art, both classical and avant-garde… is belittled and ridiculed because it is potentially disturbing and subversive and because it demands active concentration. Entertainment gives people what they ‘really want’ – the kind of temporary escape and distraction that prevents their dissatisfactions from reaching articulation” (63). “This particular ideological project is neatly epitomized in the ‘That’s Entertainment’ number in The Band Wagon, which explicitly reduces all cultural achievements indiscriminately to the same level of innocuousness. (Cyd Charisse’s ballet-dancing in the same film can be presented straight, partly because she is a woman and ballet is regarded as a feminine art, partly because ballet here is decorative rather than disturbing, hence poses poses no challenge to the entertainment concept.) The blatancy of this is concealed beneath an appeal to debased democratic principle: Entertainment is anti-elistist because it is what anyone can appreciate without much effort” (63-64). The Routledge Dance Studies Reader [2nd Ed.] edited by Alexandra Carter — We didn’t feature this book during our conversation, but it’s still worth mentioning for the two insightful pieces by Richard Dyer and John Meuller analyzing the ‘Dancing in the Dark’ sequence. If those pieces are any indication, this is a useful volume for anyone looking to learn more about dance.

1953-hoz érkeztünk, már majdnem az évad felénél járunk. A The Band Wagon fontos állomása musical történetét áttekintő sorozatunknak, hisz utoljára találkozunk Arthur Freeddel, Fred Astaire-rel és Vincente Minellivel is, három olyan névvel, akik Hollywood hőskorában meghatározták a zenés-táncos filmeket. A Singin' in the Rain után ismét olyan történettel van dolgunk, amely a showbizniszre reflektál, sőt, a metaszintű utalások ezúttal még mélyebbre hatolnak. Hány utalást sikerült megértenünk a kikacsintások tömkelegéből? Nemcsak a történet, a zeneválasztás is hasonló, ugyanis ismételten szinte csak feldolgozásokat hallhatunk a filmben. Ezúttal mennyire sikerült épkézláb cselekményt farigcsálni a dalok köré? Vannak-e olyan izgalmasak a szereplők, mint Gene Kelly és alkotótársai a múlt heti filmben? Hogy teljesít az idősebb, Ginger Rogers-telenített Fred Astaire? Hiteles a románc közte és a sokkal fiatalabb Cyd Charisse között? Működik a Top Hatből kölcsönzött dinamika a páros közt?

I PREMIOS CINEMASMUSIC 2019 Por Juan Ramón López La música acaricia nuestros oídos, casi como la suave brisa o la seda del vestido de una musa, cualquier musa como Cyd Charisse que en nuestros sueños cinéfilos ha bailado junto a Gene Kelly o Fred Astaire. Ese viaje fascinante a ninguna parte y a multitud de sitios según el género de la película, nos aleja de la realidad mundana durante el metraje y nos hace soñar con personajes y lugares, que nos gustarían ser y visitar. La magia de la imagen acompañada de la música, se fusionan bajo la cámara del director y la batuta del compositor en una comunión perfecta. Una comunicación única e irrepetible, llena de color, luces y sombras, romanticismo y drama, terror y acción, aventura o misterio... “Acción!” tras la claqueta que indica el inicio del rodaje y ese “Corten!” para indicar lo contrario. El cine es ese viaje iniciático a otra dimensión, a ese lugar donde la magia del proyector y la pantalla nos trasladan al mundo de los sueños, al mundo de las estrellas. Con estos I PREMIOS CINEMASMUSIC por la promoción y difusión del cine y su música; hemos querido destacar y aplaudir la labor de 5 personas. Cuyo denominador común es la pasión con que desarrollan su trayectoria profesional detrás o delante de una cámara, desde un atril de orquesta, desde la televisión o las ondas de la radio, de la prensa escrita, de los libros, de los blogs de internet o desde los podcast tan de moda en este siglo XXI. Y lo hacen enseñando y divulgando, desde estos diferentes medios. Gracias a todas esas personas que con su labor diaria nos acercan al mundo del Séptimo Arte y su música. Al mundo de los sueños. Y nos invitan a ver y escuchar el cine. A todos ellos y a muchos más que no caben en estos premios... Gracias! Y por supuesto a todo el maravilloso equipo de Cinemasmusic que ha hecho posible este programa. Que lo disfrutéis! Que siga la música! Que siga el espectáculo!

"Professor" Michael Phillips returns for a conversation about one of his favorite Minnelli films, the 1953 musical THE BAND WAGON. The plot has Fred Astaire as a washed up song and dance man who gets paired with Cyd Charisse's anxious ballerina for a doomed stage musical based on the Faust legend. With Astaire and Charisse and a script by the same duo that wrote "Singin' in the Rain," expectations were high. But despite a few stand-out numbers - go ahead and YouTube "Dancing in the Dark", and the film's noir-inspired "Girl Hunt" finale - Adam and Josh come up a little short of being able to say: "That's Entertainment."

An adorable and wholesome human being, we are lucky to have experienced Michael Jeter. Have a look at his Tony acceptance speech here (and try not to cry along with him). "Cyd Charisse is fabulous! I'd like to see her two more times." Forbidden Broadway is fabulous and if you've never listed to it you're wrong. Here's the fabulous Christine Pedi singing Cabaret as Elaine Stritch.

Esta noche cantamos bajo la lluvia sin necesidad de paraguas...José Miguel Moreno y Raúl Gallego.
This week we’re talking musicals with pal Elyse Peterson, from 1952’s classic Singin’ in the Rain to the CW’s devastating gem Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. We argue over that weird interlude with Cyd Charisse, invoke the Reynolds-Fisher family saga for the second time this season (for a fuller discussion/explanation, check out episode 22, Postcards from the Edge and You’re the Worst), debate the attractiveness of Greg Serrano, and praise the spiky but deceptively layered relationship between Rebecca and Valencia (which is indeed the home of Six Flags Magic Mountain—and that guy who played the werewolf in Twilight!). Pull up a chair and wish that Donald O’Connor was here to make pulling up a chair really hilarious—it’s time for Après Culture. Spiked Boba Teas Buy a boba tea drink from your local boba tea shop.

Mike talks to us about Wham-O, who manufactured such toys as the Frisbee, the Hula-Hoop, and the Slip and Slide. Mike has memories of these and a few more toys made by this company. Smitty has news of a recently discovered 1959 NBC video tape of "Meet Cyd Charisse". This early color video tape, highlighting the musical talents of Cyd Charisse, Eve Arden, and Tony Martin is in pristine original condition. Early color video tapes such as this are very rare, and it's always a cause for excitement when a new one has been found. Our Retro-Commercial is a fun Kool-Aid jingle.
