Couple of tricky spots (though I'm admittedly a novice), certainly had to mull over a couple suffixes and dated vocabulary. I enjoy that, though - like hitting a muscle at the gym that hasn't gotten a workout in a while - ha. Thanks for the puzzle!
Absolutely! In each of the starred clues, the entry clued before the arrow loses the letters RAIN, resulting in the grid entries clued by the second halves: RESTRAINING ➜ RESTING; TRAINED ➜ TED; FEATHER-BRAINED ➜ FEATHERBED; RAINBOW CHASERS ➜ BOW CHASERS; RAIN MAN ➜ MAN. The title is also affected: Rainout ➜ Out. Hope that helps!
I solved the whole thing and I don't fully get it either! The entry that gave me some insight was 33A: "Rain Man" is the film, and with the water removed (here, RAIN) it becomes just MAN, which fits the second half of the clue. But I couldn't figure out the other theme entries, so I'd appreciate the explainer too!

Thanks for making it but a lot of the hints are wrong or don't make sense.
