Wednesday is upon us once again. Which of course means it’s time for another episode of The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist. This week is all about The Gold Rush. Another great episode for your listening pleasure. Hope you enjoy, screenagers!
Episode 42: The Gold Rush (1925)
Welcome to The Canon, little tramp! We finally celebrate the genius of Charlie Chaplin with one of his best works. The Gold Rush is a titan of the silent film era and still one of the crowning achievements of cinema. ScreenAge Wasteland’s resident authority on all things silent film related, Sailor Monsoon, joins Raf to talk about some of Chaplin’s most memorable set pieces and his place within film history. Also in this episode: Sailor auditions to be a motivational speaker.
