TEASER! The Dream Factory is coming soon.
Coming in early June 2025...The Dream Factory! Please enjoy this excerpt from an upcoming episode.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was an exceptional movie studio that existed at a special moment in film history, the classic Hollywood era of the 1920s-1950s.
This new podcast is a chatty deep dive into the whirling world of MGM in its heyday. Known today primarily for their fabulous output of musicals, MGM was a dominant force in old Hollywood where the greatest stars of the era were matched by an unparalleled level of moviemaking. And all of it created in a factory-like setting across a swath of land in Culver City, CA.
Please join me and various guests as we travel back to that moment in time and wallow in the lavish MGM-ness of it all!
Thanks for listening!
