About this episode
Zach and guest Erin Mullane explore the classic film 'Meet Me in St. Louis' and its cultural impact.
Zach welcomes back actor & artist Erin Mullane (Velvet Void Creations) on a Trolley trip to 5135 Kensington Avenue, where they’ll deep dive into Vincent Minelli’s 1944 classic, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS.   Follow the duo along as they sift through the long journey of Sally Benson’s book to the silver screen, marvel at the several drafts from book to script & the changes that ensued, wrestle with both the tragedy and triumph of Judy Garland, relive the hert and humor of the films plot and music, try to figure out how closely Tootie Smith is related to other horror film villains, and then finally settle upon the many ways the film has influenced the world of film to this day. PLUS: You better believe we found a way to connect Meet Me in St. Louis to Halloween III: Season of the Witch   Be sure to follow Erin and her journey through acting and filmmaking on social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erinmullaneofficial/ and be sure to follow and support Erin’s fabric art and craft work by visiting her at VELVET VOID CREATIONS using her Linktree https://linktr.ee/velvetvoidcreatoins
