S5E4: The General (1927)

from Measuring Flicks · host Max Peterson

We’re getting our feet under us again and wrapping up our look at the black and white era with Buster Keaton’s most famous film, The General (1927). Is it a masterpiece? We’re not sure. The stunts are pretty incredible, but all the stuff in between the stunts…well, you’ll have to tune in and find out. The episode is a blast, at least. Stay tuned for the dubstep and the battlefield amputations, because nothing says comedy like sad fiddle and screaming. Also old-time foot fetishists. We’re back, baby.
