Summer Stock - Goodbye, MGM (Part 9)
Episode 23
Saturday, 29 November, 2025
Well folks, we’re reached the end of the season on The Dream Factory and it’s been trolley-fuls of fun speaking about my favourite topic: Judy Garland’s movies she made at MGM. We touched on two special movies from her canon and hopefully lifted the veil on the world that was the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie factory and its crazy ups and downs.To mark the end of Judy’s time at MGM, Nate and I talk about some of the movies that might have been for Judy while at the studio (Pride and Prejudice???) and also wrap up the last scenes of Summer Stock and discuss its afterlife. Again, thank you for listening to the first season of this podcast. It's been a dream of mine for years and the kind reception I’ve received has been so heartwarming. And I couldn't have done it without Nate and Conor, my two supremely talented co-hosts. Love you both.My plan is to return with new episodes this coming spring (these things take time, kids!) with perhaps a surprise or two in the meantime. THANK YOU EVERYONE! You’re the essence of peppermint (IYKYK).Please catch up on all the episodes of The Dream Factory on Apple and Spotify.Thanks for listening!
