Another week. Another essential movie. The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist is back with more movie magic. This week, we’re talking City Lights.
Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 75: City Lights (1931)
We can see now, ScreenAgers! Charlie Chaplin chatter is back. This time around, Raf is bringing in the big guns. Chaplin aficionado, writer, film historian, culture critic, and “movie buff”, Paul Klein joins to talk about one of the best films of the silent era. Slapstick humor, societal critiques, boxing, and so much more fill up this Chaplin classic. Check out Paul’s writing at www.howtoreadmovies.com.
