Welcome to episode 136 of the Movies Past and Present podcast.

MGM Musicals with Darin Lundberg

My good friend, podcaster and film aficionado Darin Lundberg joins me on the podcast today to discuss some classic musicals from Metro-Goldwybn-Mayer. MGM was the king of the movie musical, particularly during the 1940s and 1950s and Darin and I had a great discussion about some of the MGM musicals that we respect and love.

Per our discussion, here is Fred Astaire’s famous “ceiling dance” from Royal Wedding (MGM, 1951).

And here’s the bonkers aquatic scene with Ester Williams in Million Dollar Mermaid (MGM, 1952)

Thanks for Tuning In!
