Episode 56: The General (1926)

Sorry for the delay! After some slight technical issues, we’re back with another great episode. Seth Vargas of The Movie Friends Podcast is back to talk some Buster Keaton. Seth and Raf gush over trains, marvel at Keaton’s stunt work, and are perplexed by the historical backdrop of The General. Also, Raf brings back his proposal that Hollywood produce at least 3-5 silent movies per year going forward.
