A Star is Born

We're back and it's a quadruple feature!

You might know this one best as the 2018 film starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper (who also directed), but "A Star is Born" has been born again and again since its first incarnation in 1937. Janet Gaynor originated the role of Esther Blodgett and, in 1954, Judy Garland made it the singing role we've come to know. We cover some of our favorites from Judy's version before moving on to the darker, edgier, sultrier 1976 film starring Barbra Streisand as the renamed Esther Hoffman. After some time with big ballads and outlaw country we get to the grand finale with Gaga's character, Ally and her big energetic pop tunes.

PLUS: Ryan Lichten from Culture Dumps calls in to tell us which version is truly the best!
