Split Picks: Buster Keaton's 'The Cook' vs. 'Cops' feat. Joshua Burge

Actor Joshua Burge joins Craig and Bennett for a talk about Buster Keaton's career and legacy, 'Cops' and 'The Cook.' Following their recent interview together, Split Toother Bennett Glace and actor/musician Joshua Burge join Craig Wright to discuss a mutual favorite actor and director, Buster Keaton. One of the all-time great comedians, Keaton redefined what it means to construct a visual gag. Here they compare The Cook (1918), an early Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle collaboration, with Cops (1920), a classic Keaton-directed short film. They contrast Buster's work as Arbuckle's sidekick with his game-changing style in front of and behind the camera, and put his films in conversation with his rival Charlie Chaplin's. They also venture into Buster's life, career, and evolving legacy and, of course, why spaghetti is such a compelling film prop.
