This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, Busby Berkeley biographer Jeff Spivak joins us to talk in-depth about the movie icon’s life and art. From his early days of being born into the theater, to his success with 42nd Street and Footlight Parade, to his tragic car accident that threatened to derail his career (and his freedom), we cover it all. Or at least as much as possible. The guy was prolific. Fan of musicals? Fan of Buzz? Fan of just plain being entertained? Then this one’s for you. Listen Here: Download This Episode

It may seem like I’m choosing a themed movie this week to coincide with the Holiday, but the film has basically nothing to do with Easter, so the choice is still questionable. However, the jaw-dropping dance numbers are not. Take it away, Fred Astaire.

A new show from the ‘Friday Night Lights’ team will bring ‘The Wizard of Oz’ to modern day Manhattan.

We just got a press release that proudly announces Anne Hathaway will play icon Judy Garland in an upcoming biopic of the singer/actress being produced by The Weinstein Company. Nowhere in the press release is the phrase, “Over the rainbow with excitement” uttered. This is an outrage.

The Weinstein Co. has just optioned one of her better biographies, “Get Happy – The Life of Judy Garland” by Gerald Clarke. The book is a pretty detailed look at the singer and actress’ life and loves, chronicling her early years up to her dying day in 1969.
