Mark welcomes his friend and coworker from Ogunquit Playhouse Michael Stailey to nerd out over a movie musical that stands the test of time: Singin' in the Rain! The iconic Gene Kelly film is now 70 years old after being released on April 11, 1952, but its meta storytelling and commentary on Hollywood and filmmaking, plus its perfect cinematography, editing, and choreography, make it still feel fresh. Michael shares lots of old Hollywood knowledge and Mark wonders if Tom Cruise is/was the modern day Don Lockwood?
