This week our usual and only host, Marissa, graciously invites Chelsea and Madison on to have a thoughtful and intellectual discussion about the 1952 American musical romantic comedy (?) Singin' in the Rain. Marissa guides our guests through the plot, history, and fun facts of this comedic romp, exploring the pitfalls and follies that accompanied the transition from silent films to talkies. Is it a rom com? Ehhhh. Is it a fabulous musical rich with quippy dialogue, catchy tunes, and mindboggling skilled footwork? Absolutely. Tangents include the Muppets, Fred Astaire, Tom Holland and Madison does at one point call Gene Kelly a power bottom.Thank you again, to Marissa, for allowing Madison and Chelsea to be on the podcast. It wouldn't exist without Marissa and anyone who claims otherwise will face legal action (I'm not kidding, Marissa said "I will sue" in a Lina Lamont voice when I brought up that she isn't actual the lead of the podcast and I can't afford the legal bills).Lastly, apologies for the delay in posting this episode-- Madison had four concerts to attend in a week and our cat producer, Uno, couldn't figure out the softwareConnect With UsFollow us on Instagram @loveatfirstscreening or send an email to loveatfirstscreening@gmail.comProduction Hosts: Chelsea Ciccone and Madison HillCat Producers: Phoebe, Uno, Kiwi, and CiscoMusic: Good StephArtwork: Chelsea CicconeSocial Media: Marissa CicconeAbout the ShowAn examination of classic tropes and iconic characters pits connoisseur against cynic—one romantic comedy at a time. The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it's been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she's never wanted to watch. One friend's passion might be the other's displeasure, but doesn't love conquer all? Tune in every Wednesday to find out.

In a rare intersection of time and space, Ben and David sit down on the same couch in the same living room at the same time to not only watch "Lux", a new episode of Doctor Who, but also to record a podcast on the very same story together. Wow! We talk about animation, RTD's storytelling and handling of 1952 America, Belinda's yellow dress, and breaking the fourth wall and who Davies depicted to represent fandom (replete with good-natured Moffat ribbing). Opening music is from "Make 'em Laugh" by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed from the 1952 MGM musical Singin' in the Rain and performed by Donald O'Connor. Closing music is "The Girl In The Yellow Dress" by David Gilmour and Polly Sampson off of the 2015 album, Rattle That Lock. We recorded this podcast on 23 April 2025.

How does an artist once perceived to be ahead of his time fall behind the times? The choreographer/director of Golden Age classics like Singin' the Rain and Funny Face left Hollywood for all the 60s and the first half of the 70s, perfecting a certain brand of sophisticated comedy/romance abroad with films like Charade, Bedazzled and Two for the Road. His rough Hollywood re-entry was marked by exercises in nostalgia for eras gone by (Lucky Lady, a movie about Prohibition Era gangsters starring Burt Reynolds and Liza Minnelli; the 1930s spoof Movie Movie) and attempts to give audiences of the 80s what it was assumed they wanted (the sci-fi debacle Saturn 3, the sex comedy Blame it on Rio).

现在应该有许多地方都进入了雨季,雨天渐渐多了起来。其实我特别喜欢雨天,当天开始变得灰蒙蒙,雨滴轻轻敲打窗户,街道在雨幕中变得模糊的时候,如果我在室内,我的内心会有非常多的安全感。而此刻,我就会变得不想说话不想思考,只想要有一段不被打扰的空白,听着雨声还有音乐,安静地待一会,这是能让我感受到特别治愈的一件事。今天为了这个场景而准备的歌单,不会有激烈的节奏,只会有像毛毯般能包裹我们情绪的旋律。我推荐你可以窝在沙发的角落,或者靠在窗边发呆,甚至关了灯躺在床上,来听这期节目。希望这期节目能让雨声掩盖城市和内心的喧嚣,让音乐填补安静的缝隙,接住我们的情绪,成为一片充满治愈感的温柔的庇护所。

It's been almost three decades since Singin' in the Rain star Gene Kelly died, but his widowed spouse is allowing fans to get a look at his legacy. Gene Kelly – A Life in Music is part of this year's Auckland Arts Festival and it celebrates the star's life through archival footage, movie clips and personal stories by his wife, Patricia Kelly. She says her late husband was a romantic who was passionate about many things - but he didn't fully take to dancing until later in life. "By the time he got into high school, he realised girls liked a boy who could dance... but he never really envisioned that he would be a dancer."

Dylan and Connor are joined by Sydney James Harcourt (Cats: The Jellicle Ball, Hamilton's Original Broadway Company). The twins can't help but discuss The Traitors (Bob the Drag Queen! Dorinda Medley!) before diving into this wonderful conversation. Sydney James Harcourt is hot off the runway of Cats: The Jellicle Ball! He spills on the experimental magic of staging this Andrew Lloyd Webber revival, the “syndrome” audience members developed post-ball, and his dreams of playing Rum Tum Tugger on Broadway and beyond. This Hell's Kitchen resident also shares his favorite spots in the neighborhood, reminisces on learning to vogue in the clubs, and how Singin' in the Rain led him to Interlochen Arts Academy. Sydney speaks candidly about the “realness” category he's been walking his entire career, being part of Hamilton as it became a global phenomenon, and even his fitness routine as a triple threat. Stick around for chatter about RuPaul's first book “Letting It All Hang Out,” Billie Eilish and Yebba, and Michelle Visage's iconography in the world of ballroom.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are ringing in the New Year with a new podcast. This time they're celebrating the 85th anniversary of His Girl Friday. His Girl Friday is a screwball comedy directed by Howard Hawks. It is the second film adaptation of the play The Front Page. It opened in theaters on January 18, 1940. In the film, Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), former star reporter of The Morning Post, arrives at the paper to tell her former editor and ex-husband Walter Burns (Cary Grant) she's engaged to marry her fiancé Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy). Walter asks Hildy to help stop the execution of a condemned man, Earl Williams (John Qualen), before she leaves. However, Walter's motives are less than noble, and the story is more trouble than previously expected. His Girl Friday is a seminal film in the screwball comedy genre, notable for its biting wit and rapid-fire, overlapping dialogue. In 1993, it was selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, for films that are “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The film and the play it's based on are in the public domain. The entire movie can be watched in high definition on Wikipedia. Aaron talks about seeing His Girl Friday in college before he and Josh go over the movie's plot, performances, humor, and legacy. Aaron also recommends more Cary Grant movies to Josh and listeners. For more classic films, you can listen to Josh and Aaron's podcasts on Singin' in the Rain and A Hard Day's Night. His Girl Friday is streaming on Tubi and Pluto TV

In this week's episode I am joined once again by JJ Lawhorn. JJ is a country music singer that sings about what he knows, and one of those things is Hounds! I have really been enjoying his latest album The Huntsman Volume II, and in particular the song titled Treed. JJ was kind enough to invite me down to record another podcast, and do a little coon hunting. He has some great stories for this episode. His story telling reminds me of the great Jerry Clower with the sound effects and all. Be sure to check out JJ's website for more info about his music. https://www.jjlawhorn.com Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia
Rita Moreno is an absolute living legend who is celebrating her 93rd birthday and about eight decades in Hollywood. She came to New York with her mom from Puerto Rico when she was five years old. She got started in dance classes at age nine and started her career in the entertainment industry quickly thereafter. She's been in so many classic movies, like The King and I, Singin' in the Rain, and West Side Story. She was the first Latina to win an Oscar. She became the second woman and third person to win an EGOT. A year later, she won a second Emmy for her work on The Rockford Files. Rita has done countless guest appearances, was a lead in a bunch of TV shows, but what our Millennial hearts will care about the most is that she provided the voice of the title character in the PBS Series, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?. A tribute Barbie of her was just released based on her look that she wore when she won an Oscar in 1962.To this day, she is one of the busiest stars in show business.

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
In the latest That Show..., Nick revisits a standout episode of Saturday Night Live that aired on November 21, 2009, when actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt hosted for the first time. This episode is legendary for containing what many consider one of the best opening monologues in SNL history. Gordon-Levitt wowed audiences by recreating Donald O'Connor's iconic "Make 'Em Laugh" number from the classic musical Singin' in the Rain, delivering the routine with incredible skill and energy. It's breathtaking to watch and remains one of the all-time greatest monologues. Alongside this unforgettable performance, Nick highlights some of the best sketches from that night, including a riotous edition of What's Up With That?, the debut of Secret Word featuring Kristen Wiig's hilarious Mindy Grayson, and a talk show parody with Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Gordon-Levitt, and a spot-on David Matthews as Ozzy Osbourne. All of this fantastic comedy leads up to that unbelievable opening monologue that left audiences speechless. [Ep98]
Welcome to Meredith Patterson - Part 2! Scott and Meredith shared the stage in the national tour of Singin' in the Rain many moons ago and these two friends just had a blast seeing each other again and talking all things Disney. This week, Meredith shares even more stories of her time with Julie Andrews, what show she'd create in a Disney park, what she misses the most about being in the parks, and so much more! Part 1 of Scott's conversation with Meredith Patterson came out last week so be sure to give that a listen if you haven't already. So...Scott's been asked what doesn't make the Final Cut…what you all don't hear once the episodes are edited. Since Meredith and Scott talked for a bit about so many things before they got into the interview, what's going to happen is this - next week, you'll get a bonus episode. You'll get to hear these two friends laugh, reminisce about tour, etc. It'll be sort of a peek behind the curtain of their friendship and we know you'll enjoy it!

In the year that Jacques Demy's beloved Umbrellas of Cherbourg turns 60, Mark Kermode and Ellen E Jones reflect on their favourite aspects of the screen musical.According to some, we're currently in the midst of a movie musicals revival, with Jon M Chu's Wicked hot on the heels of Emila Perez and Joker: Folie à Deux, but will any of them match what Ellen considers to be the pinnacle of the form, the 1950s Hollywood musical? Her love of the classic MGM musicals primed Ellen to be a huge fan of the TV show Crazy Ex Girlfriend when it came along. This is the musical sitcom that took all of these essential elements of the 1950s Hollywood musical, then recombined them with a very 21st Century approach to relationships and mental health. Ellen speaks with Crazy Ex Girlfriend creator and star Rachel Bloom about Disney, writing jokes for the screen, and spontaneous singing. But it's essential to pay proper tribute to the classics, and in particular the work of American lyricist and producer Arthur Freed. Ellen sat down with writer, filmmaker and actor Manuela Lazic to talk about Freed's masterpiece, 1952's Singin' in the Rain which stars Gene Kelly, who also co-directed with Stanley Donen. And Mark meets Janis Pugh, director of Chuck Chuck Baby, a low budget, British indie charmer set in a chicken processing factory that is deeply influenced by Jacques Demy's 1964 French hit The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Janis Pugh is not alone in her love of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It follows the story of two young lovers whose future together is interrupted by the Algerian war, with the French dialogue entirely sung and set perfectly to the music of Michel Le Grand. Writer and editor of Little White Lies, David Jenkins, is a huge fan of Jacques Demy, and he speaks with Mark about the film's influences and legacy.Produced by Freya Hellier. A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

Today's Guest is Meredith Patterson and she happens to be a very good friend of Scott's. They met another lifetime ago…waaaaaay back in December 1996 and got to perform together 8 shows a week on the US and Canadian tour of Singin' in the Rain. When the record button for this interview was pressed and when Meredith and Scott popped up on each others screens, they were so happy to see each other, they wound up talking and reminiscing for a while before they even talked about Meredith's career and the Disney stuff. Since they talked for so long about so many things, and since people have asked what doesn't make the Final Cut - what gets edited out of these interviews - what's going to happen is this - Part 1 is released today, Part 2 will come out next week, and the week after, a bonus episode of some of Meredith and Scott's personal conversation will come out, with Meredith's blessing. You'll hear these two friends laugh, reminisce about their time together, etc. On Broadway, Meredith is known for her incredible skills as a dancer both in balletic grace and tap dancing, and the New York Times compared her to the legendary Ginger Rogers. How's that for a compliment? She made her broadway debut in the Julie Taymor directed play The Green Bird. For those not familiar, Julie Taymor directed the Broadway musical, The Lion King. Meredith then lived the classic understudy's dream come true when she took over the starring role of Peggy Sawyer in the Tony Award Winning Revival of 42nd Street, where she made her Broadway musical debut. Meredith was also the first non-original principal to be recorded for posterity with the Lincoln Center Archives. When her Broadway contract was up, Meredith went on to star in the groundbreaking Moscow production of 42nd Street, where she was the first American actress to perform in an English-speaking production in Russia. Also on Broadway, she originated the role of Judy Haynes in Irving Berlin's White Christmas. Other theatre credits include A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden and The Boy Friend where she played the Julie Andrews role of Polly Browne under the direction of Julie Andrews. Her national tour credits include starring as Judy Haynes in White Christmas, Polly in Crazy For You, and Kathy Seldon in Singin' in the Rain. Her television career began with her hilarious role on Boston Legal in a 5 episode arch opposite Candace Bergen and Tom Selleck for Disney owned ABC. She also guest starred on Law & Order SVU opposite Marissa Hargitay, The Good Wife, and Made in Jersey. She played Francesca on All My Children and is featured as one of the last 3 girls for the role of Val in the critically acclaimed A Chorus Line documentary, Every Little Step. Meredith made her feature film debut as Marilyn Monroe in Paramount's Company Man. Some other film credits include Broken Flowers, where she played opposite Bill Murray and was Lady Alyssa in Disney's The Princess Diaries II: Royal Engagement with Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway, and Chris Pine. Meredith now lives in Montana with her husband and two children where she runs her own production company. She's written two books and she has her own podcast, all of which we'll be talking about...in Part 2 so stay tuned! This episode picks up at the end of Meredith and Scott reminiscing. Enjoy Part 1 of Scott's conversation with the lovely...the talented...Meredith Patterson!

November has arrived and we've booked for a genre of film that is very different than the cavalcade of horror we just got out of. For some, maybe it is horror, but all month long we're going to discuss decades worth of Musical Films and we've calling it RAISE THE CURTAIN & BELT THE CHORUS. Many of these films started on the stage and others started as movies inspired by the stage and we kick it all off with a well regarded classic. Go watch this one with a grandparent, I'm sure they would appreciate the time spent with Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds in Stanley Donen & Kelly's beloved 1952 musical “SINGIN' IN THE RAIN”. The silent era is fading and Hollywood talkies are looking for the full package, of which Lina Lamont is not it. Shallow and shrill she is, but she's still got some Hollywood pull. Don and Cosmo have the talent that Lina doesn't and they meet Kathy Selden, who could cover for Lina's shrill voice in a new musical feature just so long as Lina doesn't know. Of course Don and Kathy are in love and then there's all the singing and dancing that you might have heard over the years even if you never formally sat down with this one. Donald O'Connor truly steals the show here. The talent level is something to be admired so check this out (last we checked it's on MAX) and hear us talk of this beloved musical.
