On this week?s Culture Gabfest, our critics discuss Singin? in the Rain and ponder the vision of its star and co-director Gene Kelly. They then consider the short-lived ABC show Time Machine Chefs and wonder why food reality TV has become a cultural force. Finally, the Gabfesters discuss the current state of literary criticism. Has social media made online book culture ?too nice??

Here are some links to the things we discussed this week:
