This episode we're talking about reefer (madness), so you don't want no part of this shit! No shorts this time so we get right into it with the aforementioned anti-drug "movie", Humphrey Bogart making a big splash, Fritz Lang turning his critical eye towards the USA, Frank Capra's feel-goodery, a nightmarish look into the future, and Charlie Chaplin's final film as The Tramp! All of that and more!

Silent film is on its way out but we still got a few good years left!
1928 saw the introduction of a very famous rodent, two of Buster Keaton's best features, Chaplin joining the circus, the movie that inspired a Batman villain, the template for spy films, and we are joined by Cody Jackson to discuss one of the final great silent dramas! Also, this is our first episode covering films that are still under copyright, so no playlist sadly!

Back in the "studio" for another episode! As we close in on the last 5 years of silent film, we're getting some true bangers. The hits keep coming! We've got the movie that was Cris's introduction to loving silent film, Sherlock Jr., and the action adventure masterpiece The Thief of Bagdad, a movie that seems chemically engineered to be a Glen favorite. Plus Lon Chaney has a stunning turn as cinema's OG sad clown. Check it out!

The first episode recorded in person! We went to Kansas to see a jam packed lineup of 1923 films, all with live score! In this episode we get to Harold Lloyd's magnum opus, Charlie Chaplin directing high drama, and Cecil B. DeMille building Egypt on the beach! Just a heads up, the audio for this one is a bit lower quality, since we recorded most of it in a car.

1921 was short on big movies, but we get into the ones which stood out. Avant Garde animation that's good to put on in the background at a party, Charlie Chaplin weaponizing cuteness, and European ruminations on death! Fun times!

This week is a special one-off episode (vepisode) where we're taking a look at both the 1996 film and 2022 HBO series Irma Vep with guest Jack Virnich!
Heads up, its probably a good idea to watch both (especially the show) before listening. The discussion gets a bit heady and might not make a lot of sense if you haven't seen them. But you should see them anyway because they are good!
