EPISODE 148 - “CATCH A WAVE: HOLLYWOOD'S BEACH MOVIE CRAZE” - 7/13/2026 This week on From Beneath The Hollywood Sign, we dive into the sun-soaked beach movie craze that swept America in the late 1950s and 1960s. From the wholesome charm of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello to the cultural phenomenon of Gidget and the romantic drama of A Summer Place, we're exploring the films that made surf, sand, sunshine, slapstick comedy, and catchy music the ultimate recipe for fun.

Mit "Unsere kleine Farm" (4:33) bringt Netflix einen Megaerfolg aus den 1970er Jahren zurück. Die Autobiografie von Laura Ingalls Wilder, die ihren Familienumzug von Wisconsin in den Wilden Westen Kansas' niedergeschrieben hat, sorgten einst mit Michael Landon in der Hauptrolle für pures Wohlfühlfernsehen. Kann sie das auch 50 Jahre später erreichen? Oder viel wichtiger: Sollte sie das auch 50 Jahre später erreichen wollen? Über diese Frage werden sich Michael, Holger und Rüdiger in dieser Woche nicht ganz einig. Allerdings ist ihre Diskussion geradezu erbaulich verglichen mit den Diskussionen, die die Arte-Serie "After the Party" (31:23) auslöst. Die neuseeländische Miniserie über eine Lehrerin, die ihren Ex-Mann für einen Pädophilen hält und dies gegen alle Widerstände beweisen will, ist harter Tobak zu schauen, aber ein Sechsteiler, der zumindest für extrem viel Gesprächsstoff sorgt. Um nach diesem bedrückenden Stoff auf einer heiteren Note zu enden, besprechen wir schließlich noch die Experimental-Comedy "Das Manko" (53:42) in der ZDFmediathek, die die fast vergessene Physical-Comedy-Tradition von Jacques Tati, Buster Keaton, Jim Carrey und, ja, Holger, "Jackass" zurückbringt.Cold-Open-Frage: "Welche Serien-Entscheidung hätte Donald Trump per Telefonanruf rückgängig machen sollen?"

In this episode of ADK Talks, we head to Schroon Lake for a night at the movies with Liz McNamara of The Strand Theater and silent film accompanist Ben Model.The Strand has been bringing people together for more than 100 years, and each summer its Classic Movie Mondays series turns a night out into something special: vintage films, guest speakers, community conversation, and the kind of shared big-screen experience you just can't get at home.Liz shares how she and her husband Larry became part of The Strand's story, why small-town movie theaters still matter, and how Classic Movie Mondays grew from a few special programs into a full summer series.Ben takes us behind the scenes of silent film accompaniment, from improvising live scores to reading the room while the movie plays. He also explains why films like Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush and Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill, Jr. still feel fresh, funny, and surprisingly alive when shown in a historic theater with live music.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy The Strand Theater remains a Schroon Lake gathering place after more than a century.How Classic Movie Mondays combines beloved films with guest speakers and inside stories.What it's like for Ben Model to accompany silent films live on piano and theater organ.Why restored silent films can look better today than many people expect.Highlights from this summer's lineup, including The Gold Rush, You've Got Mail, Dead Man Walking, Fatal Attraction, The Quiet Man, 1776, and On the Beach.Favorite nearby stops, including 9 Mile Coffee, Pitkin's Restaurant, and Natural Stone Bridge and Caves.Resources:Ben Model, Silent Film MusicThe Strand Movie Theater in Schroon Lake Natural Stone Bridge and Caves 9 Mile Coffee Co.The State Theater Tupper Lake Indian Lake Theater Palace Theater in Lake Placid The Strand Theatre of Old Forge Produced by NOVA

Stacy is back in her happy place at Veranda Beach enjoying sunburn, social time, and solo watch parties tackling her Cultural Blind Spots. Eric rocked out with his band Battersea at The Valley in Tacoma last week; looking cool with his blue tint shades (is it less distracting or does he just enjoy the vibe?). Apparently, his missing tooth saga did not deter his singing although his Sonicare toothbrush DID deter his sleeping – the ghost of cavities past?! Should Stacy get a Waterpik flosser? Should she cover the bathroom (and herself) in plastic when using it? Eric has a simple solution. Also, is there a worse sound than a chirping low battery fire alarm? Summer has started to open its' front door in Tacoma and is enjoying lazy days on Zero Gravity chairs not afraid of pitching over at all. As for her CBS, Stacy dove headfirst into the world of mahjong. Having only ever played with her mother-in-law, Stacy finds herself knee-deep in the rules, drama, and accessories that are American Mahjong. She also finally watched Napolean Dynamite and found it utterly delightful and would also like Pedro for President. For his CBS, Eric tried (and failed) to watch The General with Buster Keaton. While Buster may be a legendary silent film star known for his physical comedy, the movie goes South quickly. To cleanse the palate, Eric watched, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Classic Tarantino with great music and lots of violence; plan for snacks and bathroom breaks given its' four plus hour run time. Stacy comes out swinging on their top topic this week boldly declaring her disdain for breakfast. Eric walks her back from the ledge pointing out it's not the meal, it's the foods she dislikes. Meanwhile, Eric tucks into a full Irish Breakfast enjoying every morsel of the blood sausage.

Night of the Living Podcast: Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Discussion
Join hosts Freddy Morris and Joe Juvland as they dive into The Twilight Zone classic episode "Once Upon a Time." In this memorable story, comedy legend Buster Keaton stars as Woodrow Mulligan, a janitor living in the year 1890 who is fed up with the noise and chaos of modern life—or at least what he considers modern. When he discovers a time helmet that transports him to 1962, Mulligan is overwhelmed by the bustling world of the future and quickly finds himself in a series of comic misadventures. Freddy and Joe discuss the episode's unique blend of silent film-style comedy and sci-fi storytelling, Rod Serling's clever commentary on nostalgia for the past, and the lasting charm that makes "Once Upon a Time" a standout in The Twilight Zone series.
They're celebrating the 100th anniversary of Buster Keaton's *The General*, a film who stood the test of time but on the other hand left us a bit nervous about getting on a train. Hosted by Audion. Visit https://www.audion.fm/privacy-policy for more information.
Can the past be changed, or are we forever prisoners of the moments that shaped us? Today we're diving into two classic Twilight Zone tales that wrestle with the tantalizing, terrifying idea of time itself, exploring what we might do with a second chance and whether tampering with history carries a price we can never fully calculate. "Back There" follows a man mysteriously transported to 1865, desperately trying to prevent Lincoln's assassination. "Once Upon a Time" sends Buster Keaton's bumbling 1890s janitor hurtling into the chaotic present. Both episodes ask the same haunting question: if you could rewrite history, would the universe even let you?

Today on part one of another brand new encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Suzanne Lloyd, the granddaughter who was raised like a daughter of iconic silent film star & business mogul Harold Lloyd. Suzanne is the steward of the Harold Lloyd estate and runs the archive of her grandfather's groundbreaking early Hollywood silent films which the creative genius and shrewd businessman almost single handedly owned throughout his career. Ah a preservationist in the mold of Edie Adams, host Josh Mills' mother who did the very same thing for the career of television's original genius, her first husband, Ernie Kovacs. Be still our hearts. Suzanne was incredibly gracious with her time when we talked to her and it was evident early on that she had so much to say about her years growing up, her grandfather's career, her parent's lives, the preservation of Lloyd's films as well as his opulent and ridiculously large house and grounds in Beverly Hills, we knew this conversation was a two parter. Suzanne was an eager guest who wanted to talk about her grandfather's work which ranks right up there with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Perhaps to the causal film fan, Harold Lloyd's name isn't as well-known some 90 years after the apex of his career simply because he owned his own films, not a film studio. So showings on television and screenings at film festivals were more sporadic through the years. But no doubt, with Suzanne's help, more fans than ever are able to see Harold Lloyd's comedy in 2026. This episode is a film lover's dream as we talk about early Hollywood icons like Mary Pickford, Daryl Zanuck, Hal Roach and many more – including her grandmother, Harold's wife, Mildred Davis. Davis gave up her own career once she married her comedic genius husband. Why? You'll hear about that shortly. Suzanne's ability to talk about the legacy of Harold Lloyd is only matched by her recall of facts, dates, productions, screenings, studios and more that it's almost uncanny how anyone could have total recall like that. So buckle up, this is only part one. Part two has stories about the famed Christmas tree that lived year round in the living room, the estate they lived on and the Paul McCartney party she attended after the estate was donated to the city. This episode spans decades. Take a listen.
As a young boy growing up in Queens, New York, Chuck McCann worshipped stars like Stan Laurel, Buster Keaton and Groucho Marx, and within a few years, he would find himself befriending (or working with) all of them.

On this episode, we discuss the work of legendary comedy duo Laurel and Hardy, whose careers straddled both the silent and sound eras.They were active between the 1920s and the 1950s, making more than a hundred films together and their unmistakeable big man-little man dynamic would go on to influence many a comedy double-act, from Abbott and Costello to Morecambe and Wise.This year marks the centenary of Laurel and Hardy's first appearance in a film together and to mark the occasion Neil Brand has been touring a show celebrating Stan and Ollie's extraordinary artistry. Neil is a writer, broadcaster, composer and peerless silent cinema pianist. His show arrives in Scotland this month and he joined host Dr Pasquale Iannone to discuss the Boys.In their conversation, Neil and Pasquale place them in the context of other giants of American screen comedy such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. They also explore Neil's previous work on Stan and Ollie, such as his brilliant radio play starring British acting royalty Tom Courtenay. Neil tells Pasquale about the structure of his centenary show, what audiences can expect as well as the joys and challenges of improvising silent film scores.Neil will be appearing at The Gaiety Theatre in Ayr, The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh, Airdrie's Town Hall, Eden Court in Inverness and the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy.

Recapitulating Life Through Limelight and KeatonChaplin's film Limelight served as an atmospheric memoir of his Edwardian theater roots and a creative attempt to process his inability to save his mentally ill mother. The story features an aging music hall comic who rescues a young woman, played by Claire Bloom, who bore a striking resemblance to Chaplin's wife, Oona. A legendary highlight of the film is Chaplin's collaboration with his former silent-era rival, Buster Keaton. Despite Chaplin's usual need for total control, he and Keaton worked as equals to improvise a brilliant comedic routine, marking a rare moment of professional synergy between two cinematic superheroes. Guest: Scott Eyman. (6/8)1900 FIRST AVENUE AT BROADWAY LA
Was im Leben so oft gesagt wird, gilt beim Thema Kurzfilm definitiv: Es kommt nicht auf die Länge an, sondern auf die Technik… oder auf die Idee, die Schauspielenden, das Drehbuch oder einfach nur den Mut. Neu erschienene Kurzfilme sind so leicht zugänglich wie nie zuvor in der Filmgeschichte. Doch wie lassen sich in der Flut aus Muscheln die Perlen finden? Wir versuchen euch in dieser Folge weiter zu helfen und besprechen insgesamt zwölf Kurzfilme, decken dabei über 100 Jahre Filmgeschichte ab und haben von Ari Aster bis Charles Chaplin jede Alliteration im Gepäck. Freut euch auf Er im Paradies (1921), ZVP (2017), Laurel & Hardy - Der zermürbende Klaviertransport (1932), The Strange Thing About The Johnsons (2011), Steamboat Willie (1928), The Amazing Screw-On Head (2006), Buster Keaton bekämpft die blutige Hand (1921), The Robbery (2017), Im Schallplattenladen (1934), Too Many Cooks (2014), Ein Hundeleben (1918) und Super (2023).
Chapter 9 sees Lucille and Desi get married. Yep, again! Lucille will re-sign with Columbia, reuniting her with dear friends Ed Sedgwick and Buster Keaton. And she and Desi will both make more movies (this on top of Desi's nightclub touring and serving as Bob Hope's musical director). Well, why not make a movie together? If Hollywood wouldn't bank on them, they'll bank on themselves, and form their own company. But what to name it? Seems like using the same as their Chatsworth ranch oughta work! But how to prove Lucille and Desi work as a showbiz team? Why not go straight to audiences? Live! Which is just what they do. And that's when a lot happens at the same time. CBS is interested in turning her hit radio show ‘My Favorite Husband' into a TV show. Which leads to making a pilot. Which leads to Lucille and Desi having to decide if they're willing to give up everything they have -- her film and radio careers, his radio and nightclub careers -- for the thing ALL the studios are adamantly against: television. And the icing on the gamble cake? Lucille Ball was pregnant. Please chime in here and/or on Instagram @fromoutofthepastpodcast with your questions & comments, or just sharing your love of Lucille Ball and her road to ‘I Love Lucy!' Thanks for listening ...
Veteran character actor James Karen appeared in over 80 movies, more than 100 television shows and a staggering 5,000 TV commercials. In a career spanning nearly 7 decades (!), he's worked with Frederic March, Lauren Bacall, Gene Hackman, Steven Spielberg, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Will Smith, to name a few. Gilbert and Frank phoned James to cover a wide range of topics, including his film debut in the immortal “Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster,” his years-long friendship with the legendary Buster Keaton and his experience sharing a townhouse with Marlon Brando, Wally Cox and Maureen Stapleton.

Forget the runaway train thrillingly shot in Buster Keaton's 1926 film “The General,” and never mind the charging locomotive rescued by actors Denzel Washington and Chris Pine in the 2010 film “Unstoppable,” as there's a far more frequent (and far less heart-pounding) railcar drama happening across California's Bay Area: The repeated breakdown of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, all because of a few networking errors.Opened in 1972, BART today carries about 175,000 people every weekday on five separate lines to 50 different stations placed across dozens of cities in the Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, Fremont, Richmond, and more. Its tracks and railcars travel both above ground and below, and it is one of the only public transit systems in the US that goes underwater—traveling through what is called the TransBay tube. It is likely the region's largest public project, spanning 131 miles of track, with a fleet of more than 700 cars, proving vital to workers and residents everywhere, and on May 9, 2025, it all came grinding to a halt, due to what BART officials called a “computer networking problem.”At the Glen Park station in San Francisco, would-be travelers found yellow caution tape at the entry gates. At the El Cerrito Plaza station, BART staff and police informed visitors that the system was down. And at the Rockridge station in Oakland, a reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle witnessed a small group of people sprinting up the stairs to try and catch a train that never came.It was the kind of meltdown for public infrastructure that puts an entire system in peril.And it happened again just months later.In September, a network crash brought BART to a halt, repeating almost the exact same frustrations and delays for travelers left without transportation to work.That's the end of it, right? Wrong. In February 2026, another computer failure caused another outage.So, in one of the wealthiest regions in America, the subway doesn't always run, its network is prone to crash, and any money for technology often goes elsewhere. Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with San Francisco Chronicle transportation report Rachel Swan about what the BART outages revealed about the state of the system's aging technology, why public infrastructure so often struggles to modernize, and what exactly went wrong in the three prior outages.“One piece of equipment—and again, this is old equipment—one piece breaks down and they completely lose visibility, so they don't know where any of the trains are.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.

In the premiere of Season 12: On the Road, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with screenwriter Katy Baldwin to discuss the heroic stoicism and occasionally problematic historical revisionism of Buster Keaton's silent spectacle epic The General (1926), which translated Southern apologia into a character driven search for validated identity.
Back in the 70s and 80s, the television broadcast of The Wizard of Oz was a hugely anticipated annual event. The kids had their Wizard of Oz dolls from Mego, and their Wizard of Oz comic book from Marvel and DC, just to get them through the long year between viewings. But that was the classic movie from 1939. Have you ever seen the 1925 version? Kevin and the Mayor just did, so we're here to file our report for you. This is a bizarre little silent slapstick comedy, and it features a Buster Keaton-type Scarecrow, a Dorothy played by a lady actually named Dorothy, Oliver Hardy (pre-Laurel) as the Tin Man, an unhealthy dose of blatant racism, and a vomiting duck. It's not great, but it is a curiosity. And since it's silent, you don't have to worry about the duck breaking into "Over the Rainbow." The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook!

The Interviews returns this week, folks, with a bumper-sized edition of chatty goodness. First, Chris talks to David Jonsson and Tom Blyth, the stars of hard-hitting prison drama, Wasteman, about the impact of their movie, and wild auditions. Then, Chris has a right giggle with Asim Chaudhry, who is one of the potential saviours of the world recruited by Sam Rockwell in Gore Verbinski's Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die. And, finally, Chris has an audience with a genuinely legendary film critic, the great Leonard Maltin, who tells Chris all about his new book, Every Movie Is A Miracle, meeting Buster Keaton, and starring in Gremlins 2. Three cracking interviews about three wildly different subjects. Every movie podcast is a miracle. Enjoy.

Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are now often universally viewed as the two great silent film movie comedians. And their personal biographies, even their physical characteristics (they were both 5'5), rhyme in a fascinating way. They both made some of the towering comedies-The Kid, The Gold Rush, The Great Dictator, Seven Chances, Sherlock Jr., The General. Most intriguingly, Chaplin can be viewed as the grandfather of the art film tradition and Keaton the grandpappy of the action film. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill offers an initial overview of these two movie giants' biographies, body of work, and legacies.
In Hollywood Haunts the World: An Investigation into the Cinema of Occulted Taboos (Headpress, 2026), Robert Guffey deconstructs the most powerful taboos of the twentieth century (and the initial decades of the twenty-first century) by analyzing how disturbing and transgressive ideas involving Theosophy, Gnosticism, Freemasonry, Darwinian Evolution, Surrealism, Freudian and Jungian psychology, race relations, paranoia, UFOs, xenophobia, political conspiracies, the JFK assassination, virtual reality, and alternate dimensions have been reflected in films — both American and foreign — throughout the past one hundred years. Popular films and TV shows that fall under cutting-edge scrutiny include Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley, Larry Wade Carell's Girl Next, Matt Shakman's WandaVision, Anthony and Joe Russo's Avengers: Infinity War, Scott Derrickson's Dr. Strange, Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One, Jennifer Kent's The Babadook, Christopher Nolan's Inception, Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad, Oliver Stone's JFK, Mark Frost and David Lynch's Twin Peaks, John Carpenter's They Live, Alan Pakula's The Parallax View, John Frankenheimer's The Manchurian Candidate, Jack Arnold's It Came from Outer Space, Edgar G.

For the Paris-born, New York–based artist Camille Henrot, time practically never stands still. Across her work in film, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation—and soon, live performance—Henrot has developed ways of stretching and distorting time, seamlessly shifting from moments of potent, rapid-fire intensity to quiet reflection. While her work carries a theory-driven ferocity and intelligence, it's also incredibly playful. Hers is serious art that manages—often with a knowing, subtle wink—to not take itself too seriously.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Henrot considers the subjectivity of speed and slowness; previews her upcoming first-ever performance-art piece, slated to premiere in 2026 and a collaboration with the nonprofit Performa; and reflects on why, for her, a work is technically never finished. She also shares her fraught fascination with animals, childhood, and the climate crisis—the intersection of which she examines in-depth in her soon-to-debut film “In the Veins.”Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Camille Henrot[4:30] RoseLee Goldberg[4:30] Performa Biennial[6:37] Buster Keaton[6:37] Tex Avery[7:03] Estelle Hoy[7:19] Adam Charlap Hyman of Charlap Hyman & Herrero[16:10] “In the Veins” (2026)[17:45] "Grosse Fatigue"[17:45] Massimiliano Gioni[38:51] Roland Barthes[45:36] Pierre Huyghe[47:51] Ikebana Sogetsu[51:46] Okwui Enwezor[55:03] Hypernormalisation by Adam Curtis (2016)[59:51] Jacob Bromberg[59:51] Akwetey Orraca-Tetteh[1:08:50] Adrienne Rich[1:08:50] Ursula K.

6. Limelight and Keaton Collaboration Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin based Limelight on an atmospheric novel about Edwardian theater. The film reflected his own life, allowing him to process grief over his inability to save his mother by repeatedly featuring the narrative of an older adult rescuing a helpless young woman. After a difficult search, he cast Claire Bloom in the lead role. A significant unscripted addition during production was a routine featuring Buster Keaton. The two comedy legends collaborated improvisationally, resulting in a sequence that Keaton was honored to perform. 1928
David Blaine (Do Not Attempt, Buried Alive, Above the Below) is a magician, mentalist, and endurance performer. David joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the deck of cards his mom gave him as a kid in Brooklyn, keeping his magic secret when he was young because other children are a brutal audience, and why his unique ability for breath holding was the beginning of his love of endurance. David and Dax talk about the reason he decided to do the buried alive endurance performance, how Buster Keaton informed him doing stunts in one take for Street Magic, and learning that he could change the course of his mother's day with a simple trick. David explains the physical sensations of spending 44 days in a plexiglass box, why he doesn't recommend eating glass, and how the most meaningful part of making his new show was the people he met.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
