Today we're reviewing two films from a brutal, primitive time in humanity's past, when both politics and romance were conducted through violence: the early 20th Century! His Prehistoric Past (1914) and Clubs are Trump (1917) follow suspiciously similar plots in which Silent Era stars Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Snub Pollard dream of a simpler time when they could commit violent assaults unimpeded and sexually harass women.

To Neither Have Nor Hold - Tod Browning's The Unknown On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Mr. Chavez & I look back to 1927 for one of the great Actor/Director collaborations - Lon Chaney & Tod Browning. With The Unknown, Chaney & Browning would create one of the most disturbing and beautifully realized films of The Silent Era. Browning's years spent as a youth in circuses and carnivals would inform two of his most famous films (The Unknown and Freaks [1932]). Chaney's dedication to portraying a carnival performer without arms who falls in love with a young Joan Crawford, is a marvel of early cinema. It's a thrill to sit down and discuss this classic and dive into it's strange and troubling elements. It's a fun discussion. We hope you'll enjoy it.

For Chris Marker, writing came before filmmaking. A decade after Marker's death, critics continue to rediscover his remarkable oeuvre, which comprised writing, photography, film, video, radio, and digital media. Associated with the Left Bank subset of the French New Wave, Marker is perhaps best recognized for directing La Jetée (1962). To celebrate the publication of the first English translation of Marker's early writings (published between 1948 and 1955), Steven Ungar, the editor of Chris Marker: Early Film Writings, with translator Sally Shafto, have joined Jean-Michel Frodo and Sam Di Iorio in conversation.“The French Cinema has its dramatists and its poets, its technicians, and its autobiographers, but only has one true essayist: Chris Marker.”—film theorist Roy ArmesChris Marker (born Christian Hippolyte François Georges Bouche-Villeneuve, 1921–2012) was a French writer, artist, and director. His time-travel film La Jetée (1962) is one of the most celebrated shorts ever made. A true polymath, his later creations ranged from videos and the interactive CD-ROM Immemory to the multimedia digital platform Second Life.Steven Ungar is professor emeritus of cinematic arts, French, and comparative literature at the University of Iowa. He is author of several books including Critical Mass: Social Documentary in France from the Silent Era to the New Wave.Sally Shafto is a French film scholar and translator and assistant professor of English at Framingham State University. She is author of The Zanzibar Films and the Dandies of May 1968, and her translations include Jean-Marie Staub and Danièle Huillet's Writings. She teaches at Framingham State University.Jean-Michel Frodon is a journalist and one of the most influential film critics and film historians in the world. He is author or contributor of several books including The World of Jia Zhangke and Le Cinéma Français de la Nouvelle Vague a Nos Jours, and wrote the foreword to “Night and Fog”: A Film in History by Sylvie Lindeperg. Frodon blogs at Projection Publique.Sam Di Iorio is Associate Professor of French at Hunter College and Deputy Executive Officer of the Ph.D. Program in French at the CUNY Graduate Center. He has written about postwar films and filmmakers, political theory, and cultural history for Screen, Trafic, Film Comment and the Criterion Collection.

Listen to us go through an unsettling overview of Neverland disappointments as we circle PJ Hogan's critically celebrated but financially underwhelming PETER PAN.

Not everyone is aware that Hitchcock actually started making movies all the way back in Britain's 1920s silent era. Now that we've watched all of those films (that are available, anyway), we take a look back and think about what we've learned. What takeaways can we glean, not just about Hitchcock, but about the film industry in general, and–dare we say–ourselves? We discuss! Also, Josh recommends Peaky Blinders on Netflix, and Ira recommends Andor on Disney+. (note: for anyone listening along as we publish these, this CRF was actually recorded back in August of 2023, last year--so, some of the personal updates are a little outdated at this point)

How Would Lubitsch Do It returns for a fourth season! It's an exciting time for Ernst Lubitsch and, therefore, the podcast: this season, we'll be covering the years between the introduction of synchronized sound in Hollywood and the establishment of the Production Code Administration in 1934. Ahead of us lie the years of Lubitsch's greatest influence in Hollywood: by the end of this season, he'll have gone from a prominent silent film director to being the first (and only!) director to have ever been given the reins of a major Hollywood studio. In between lie many of his greatest and most celebrated works. Aside from our film-by-film coverage of Lubitsch's work in this period, this season will feature a number of experts in the field of early sound cinema who have lent their time and knowledge so as to help paint a clearer picture of the evolving state of both technology and artistry in Hollywood cinema throughout this era. The first of these guests is Patrick Keating, professor of Communication at Trinity University and author of Hollywood Lighting from the Silent Era to Film Noir as well as The Dynamic Frame: Camera Movement in Classical Hollywood, among others. In this episode, Patrick and I discuss the history and ideology of early camera movement: why do directors choose to move, and how do they theorize the motivations behind this movement? We also discuss the dimensions of visible labor behind camera operation, the many differences between dollies, cranes, gimbals, and steadicams, aspect ratio shifts, and the many misconceptions floating around regarding early film camera movement. Edited by Griffin Sheel. NEXT WEEK: Ursinus College professor Jennifer Fleeger joins us to discuss THE LOVE PARADE. For details as to where to find this film, check out our resources page.

Some of the most enduring images of film ever conjured—not just of the Silent Era, but of all time— appear as a result of the vivid expressionism manifested in the oeuvre of Weimar Germany's leading director, F.W. Murnau. The man who's name is now associated some of the most important restoration efforts ever undertaken, had both an incalculable impact upon the filmmaking world in his time, as well as into today. Even if you've never seen a Murnau film before, it's almost impossible to not have come across some of the iconic imagery sprung from his brief yet unrivaled time working in the industry. His name is associated with some of the most acknowledged greatest films of all time, working in both Germany and America in the 1920s, and pioneering the medium with every new film. This episode marks our foray into the important directors of Weimar Cinema, the individuals with an even greater prestige than the actors with whom they worked so consistently. Murnau may have been the most influential of them all, despite an untimely end to his life and career in tandem with the foreclosure of Silent Film as a whole.The Life and Career of F.W. Murnau: 00:00-45:58Der brennende Acker/The Burning Soil (1922): 45:59-1:06:43Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

To kick off a new series of episodes that will give an overview of the history of the western genre, Alex and Jonathan start off by talking about three early western films from the pre-sound era: The Testing Block (1920), Sky High (1922), and The Iron Horse (1924). We discuss the development of both the themes and the action of the western genre, how the early westerns lacked many of the common tropes we expect in westerns today, and how John Ford set himself apart early as one of the great western directors.

Hollywood - Spectacle & Sacrifice: Damien Chazelle's Babylon This week, Mr. Chavez & I continue our close out of 2022 (going into this third week of 2023), with a look at one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year (and one of its most polarizing films and biggest box-office disappointments), Damien Chazelle's Babylon. This is certainly a film that defines cinematic ambition, but also thematic and visual excess; A film of grotesque imagery and questionable plot points, Chazelle's love and fascination for the Hollywood's Silent Era and the slow emergence into "Talkies" is divisive at the very least. Rarely does a film emrege that is as beautiful, overblown, and misguided as this three-hour opus. Featuring Hollywood Stars interpreting the lives of early screen stars John Gilbert (Brad Pitt) and Clara Bow (Margot Robbie), and newcomers Diego Calva, Li Jun Li, and Jovan Adepo, as well as Jean Smart, Flea, Lukas Haas, Eric Roberts, Jeff Garlin, and Tobey McGuire. Incredibly problematic, but definitely worth seeing on the big screen, Chazelle's "Love Letter to Cinema and Hate Letter to Los Angeles/Hollywood" is one of the more fascinating spectacles in recent cinema. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we. dive into all aspects of this film. It is best to have seen the film before listening. You've been warned.

Our inaugural journey into the vault of early film history sees Stephen and David taking a general survey of Silent Movies as a whole and the way in which their legacy is told and preserved. We go over the early record of how film came to be, our own personal exposure to and discovery of Silent Film, and the many ways films become lost in the first place. Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.
MOVIE DISCUSSION: Stephen and Melvin are joined by Shirleon to discuss the highly revered classic vampire film Nosferatu, a film with a 100-year legacy! Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 30-minutes talking about our October/Halloween plans, from movies to habits! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) Nosferatu is a very simple movie about a vampire, a man, and his wife.This was Shirleon's second time watching Nosferatu. The first time was great. The second time... not so much.Stephen observed how Nosferatu can feel slow and boring for a modern audience, yet also feels Nosferatu is an effective film overall.Melvin had a unique experience in which he was confronted with his mortality. Why? Because everyone involved in Nosferatu, from its conception, plagiarism, and preservation is dead.Nosferatu is shot during a time when movies were "plays on film", and thus didn't contain the same freedoms and creativities we are now accustomed to movies that separate themselves from the stage.Count Orlock is grotesquely charismatic, parading the film with a transfixing nature.Discussing the hardship of film preservation and audience engagement for a film that is both pre-talkie and had a court case resulting in the destruction of all original film negatives.Back in the days of yore, black and white films could be colored by painting on the film itself, and musicians could perform original music for the film based upon their talents and interpretations. With this in mind, the concept of preserving the "original experience" of older films becomes far more complicated, as it cuts down as deep as regional and local creativity.Nosferatu seems to present a message around the overbearing presence of predator vs prey, from not only a man vs man angle (Hutter vs Orlock) but also man vs nature (the town vs the plague). Primarily, it seems Nosferatu is expressing a horror unique to nature.Despite Count Orlock's diabolical design, there is still an expressionistic depiction of sensuality throughout Nosferatu.Recommendations:Frankenstein (1931) (Movie), or any other classic Universal Monsters movie.Absentia (2011) (Movie)And I Darken by Kiersten White (Book)Support on Patreon for Unique Perks!

We are in the Silent Era of the Bible. That's right, that odd space between the Old and New Testament. But don't worry, we have a lot to say about it. Watch or listen as we describe what it means to have a famine of God's Word. How long is 400 years, really? We'll cover some of the more significant historical events during this time period, including the rise of Rome and the empire of Alexander the Great. Lastly, we'll describe the cultural and political shifts that occur in Israel during this time. What is hellenization? How did the pharisees rise to political power? What's the deal with Hanukkah? All of these will be answered and more in this 14 era overview of the big story, the meta-narrative, of the Bible. And remember: The Story of the Bible Works, so, CBTtalks!

The fellas finally circle back to wrap up their discussion on one of the last great masterpieces of the Silent Era, and catch up after a couple hard months apart. Not to break the fourth wall or anything, but it was really good to hear Karl's voice and see his face again (albeit back to being on the other side of a screen for a little while). Stay tuned—we're back, wrapping up one more silent film, and then face-first into NICOLAS CAGE!Patreon.com/QuillAndFilmMeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.com
Academy vs Audience reaches 1931, where we encounter the bonkers, ridiculous, near-plotless majesty that is Cimarron, first western to win Best Picture, and the glory of its almost cartoonishly righteous lead, Yancey Cravat.

And he can be yours as well. Embrace Yancey Cravat.And then Charlie Chaplin's here for our Last Stand of the Silent Era!

Hey there film buds, Though people often associate silent film with the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo, it encompassed as wide a range of genres and styles as film today. That includes the Horror genre. Horror, like much of the Silent Era, often relied on established ideas from literature and the stage. Since we recently dove deeper into film history with episodes covering horror and drama in the 30s and 40s and teenagers in movies of the 50s, we decided to present you with Silent Horror Film. Specifically chose films as a part of the German Expressionist movement, including FW Murnau's Nosferatu from 1922 and Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari from 1920. The style became synonymous with the Horror genre and was later used in other films, like the Universal Studios monster films and more. You can read more about the Expressionist movement here. Joining us in our discussion this week is friend of the show Sky Tilley and first time guest Madelaine Davis. Madelaine is a published writer, editor, marketing expert, and semi-professional athlete. They're both horror fans.

This week, Steve takes a look at a trio of unsolved murders. First is a serial killer who stalked the mean streets of… Texarcana? Then the stalker-murderer whose phone etiquette was just the worst. We finish with the killing of a Hollywood icon that hit (or started) just about every cliché in the murder-a-famous-person book. Content Warning: Obviously this week's episode discusses violent crimes. Some of these crimes occur against women, and one specifically includes a stalking-kidnap-murder.

A discussion about and look into the stories, the history and personalities that came together to advertise in the silent film era.
sent $$$ this week to the Indian Residential School Survivor Society.irsss.ca“The Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS) is a provincial organization with a twenty-year history of providing services to Indian Residential School Survivors.The Indian Residential School Survivors Society began in 1994 as a working committee of the First Nations Summit. We were known as the Residential School Project, housed out of and as a part of the BC First Nations Summit. Our work was primarily to assist Survivors with the litigation process pertaining to Residential School abuses. In more recent years our work has expanded to include assisting the descendants of Survivors and implementing Community education measures (Indigenous & Non-Indigenous).As of March 2002, we formally became the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS). The IRSSS is governed by an elected Board of Directors from six regions of BC; the Board of Directors are also Survivors or Intergenerational Survivors of Residential Schools. The Board of Directors is responsible for the funding of the organization and delegates its day-to-day duties to our Executive Director. The Executive Director is hired by the Board of Directors and hold full responsibility for the implementation of Board initiatives and policies and hiring staff. The board is supported by a staff of 20 professionals and 16 Elders who provide Cultural Support, most of whom are either Indian Residential School Survivors or Intergenerational Survivors.IRSSS provides essential services to Residential School Survivors, their families, and those dealing with Intergenerational traumas. These impacts affect every family and every community across B.C. and Canada. This fact is most evident in the Corrections Canada Services-the numbers of First Nations people incarcerated, Child and Family Services child apprehensions, the high number of people on social assistance, unemployment and underemployed, lower levels of education, the lowest number within an ethnic minority of “determinants of healthâ€, the list of impacts is extremely high while the services available to effectively assist impacts of Residential Schools remain quite low.One of our Society’s goals is to continually expand our support to partner organizations and maximize access to culturally sensitive, emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual care.”DOWNLOAD RECORDINGsubscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun(intro by omar)Operator Music Band “Realistic Saturation” CoordinationHungry Cloud Darkening “I Am Seen” Glossy RecallThe Carols “10 FEET DEEP” Honestly, It’s the CarolsJoey Nebulous “cupid clutter” high on daddy’s dayYogurt Brain “LEMON TREE” The Lemon Tree EPMala Fides “Stressor” Dull but ConstantCloser “Hardly Art” All This Will BeBill Baird “Walking in a Straight Line” Straight TimeGreg Jamie “Everything Here” Crazy TimeCat 500 “My Foot” The CompRachel Kiel “Charged” Shot From a CannonCAMP COPE “How to Socialise & Make Friends” How to Socialise & Make FriendsAnna McClellan “Heart of Hearts” Yes and NoSILENT ERA “Ours Now” O HorizonHola beach “Positiv” The Big GameSnow Roller “Bury The Lede” XXLSalad Boys “Psych Slasher” This Is GlueDuzz “Flesh Costume” Flesh CostumeThe Stroppies “The Truth” it’s A Hit!MOANING “Does This Work for You” MoaningLong Neck “Ashes” Will This Do?Melissa Weikart “Coffee” CoffeeLittle star “providence” Even In DreamsNICHOLAS KRGOVICH “My Riverboat” IN AN OPEN FIELD
One of the major goals of The Movie Breakdown is to show love to film history and analyze major movies from the past. While we have discussed a few Silent Era movies, we haven't reviewed a picture starring who may be the biggest movie star during the Silent Era and was the first true box office powerhouse, Charlie Chaplin. We finally review one of his significant movies and the one that has the final appearance of his iconic Tramp character in Modern Times.We also have two new releases coming from Netflix. We have the Joe Wright directed and Amy Adams starring psychological thriller in The Woman in the Window. Then it is Zack Snyder's return to the zombie picture in the action-thriller Army of the Dead.After the reviews, we discuss the long-term implications of Amazon Prime buying MGM. We also pay tribute to the great comedic actor Charles Grodin and the iconic voice of Sebastian the crab, Samuel E.

Buster Keaton's favorite film he made, The General (1927) is a masterpiece of the Silent Era. As per usual with Mr. Keaton, it's full of impressive stunts. And we ask, "why can't movies be more like this these days?" There are reasons.

William Desmond Taylor was arguably the most famous director in Hollywood in the early 1920s, working behind the camera for Paramount Pictures on around 60 movies and acting in 27 more. He worked with some of the greatest actors and actresses of the Silent Era, but it was the fame of Taylor’s shocking, unsolved murder that would ultimately overshadow his cinematic career. Who killed William Desmond Taylor? Join us as we explore this perplexing unsolved murder on Straight-Up Enigmas.

We're off to Hollywoodland for a look at the puzzling murder of a man whose name was on everyone's lips, but who few people seemed to truly know. Whodunnit, you ask?

Considered by many the greatest film of the Silent Era, Sunrise is a German Expressionist poem of a marriage on the rocks. It brings the visuals, helter-skelter sets, melodramatic performances, a sweeping score, and symbolism galore. It's the first silent film on the AFI's top 100, and it's this week on Film School!

Calen and Tom smash out the Charlie Chaplin 1936 classic 'Modern Times' whilst once-again highlighting Tom's particular fondness for depressing cinema, Calen's ignorance of the Silent Era and their joint forgetfullness of the existence of 1952's 'Limelight'.

In this episode, we focus on research from a special themed edition of the Participations journal of audience research looking at the notion of unsocial audiences and non-traditional, extended and disruptive forms of spectatorship. Dario's contribution to the journal was an article on a project examining the potential of second screening as a tool for film analysis and this podcast features his interviews with three of the other contributors. He speaks to the editors of the edition Steve Gaunson and Tessa Dwyer about the background and development of the issue and their own articles on disruptive cinema in Silent Era and the phenomenon of Japanese bullet screenings. Dario then discusses the phenomena of Second Screening directly with James Blake how outlines its uses for new forms of transmedia storytelling. Finally, Dario talks to Helen Kennedy who has researched extensively on extended, live, and theatrical possibility of the cinematic specifically here in terms of Secret Cinema. Show Notes Dwyer, Tessa & Steve Gaunson: 'Un/social cinema – audience decorum revisited Blake, James: 'Second Screen interaction in the cinema: Experimenting with transmedia narratives and commercialising user participation' Llinares, Dario: '"Please turn your phone on": Analysing outcomes of second-screen spectatorship using Social Media in the cinema space' Dwyer, Tessa: 'Hecklevision, Barrage Cinema and Bullet Screens: An intercultural analysis' Gaunson, Steve: 'The 'Picture' habit: Bad decorum and delinquents at the Silent Cinema' Kennedy, Helen: '"Join a cast of 1000s, to sing and dance in the Revolution": the Secret Cinema "Activist" brand and the commodification of affect within "experience communities"' The rest of the articles from this themed section can be found here: http://www.participations.org/Volume%2014/Issue%202/contents.htm
It reads like a classic murder mystery. At the height of the Silent Era, a group of Hollywood's elite gathered for a dinner party aboard a capricious millionaire's yacht. When a famous movie producer turns up dead, suddenly no one aboard the ship wants to talk about what really happened. Carter and Wenndy investigate the mysterious death of producer and studio head Thomas Ince, Father of the Western and arguably the most influential founder of the Hollywood studio system.
This week, we go way back in history, almost 100 years ago to 1919 and a silent film called The Dragon Painter, starring Sessue Hayakawa and his wife Tsuru Aoki. Hayakawa was a star rivaling Charlie Chaplin in the Silent Era, and after being tired of the villainous Japanese roles that were written for him in Hollywood, he created his own production company to make his own movies. The Dragon Painter was restored in 1988 and added to the National Film Registry in 2014. Ada and Brian talk about their quest to find an old school Asian American romance, which led them on a detour through an Anna May Wong and Philip Ahn crime film -- and how Sessue Hayakawa, the biggest Asian American star of all time, is kind of like Randall Park. Saturday School is a podcast where we teach your unwilling children about Asian American pop culture history. Season 2 explores Asian American romance in film.
Near the very end of the SIlent Era, just a month before Warner Bros. turned the film world upside down with The Jazz Singer, F. W. Murnau’s lyrical cinematic tone-poem Sunrise was released. It is appropriate that this film ushered out the era of purely visual film language, for they just couldn’t get much better or purer than this. For the uninitiated, we also discuss the world of the Silent Cinema in the first part of this broadcast. Besides being the first silent film we’ve discussed, this was also our first pre-recorded program.
Bobby Harron was a young star of the Silent Era. He was in over 200 pictures, including many by D.W. Griffith. Did he shoot himself in the chest or did it fall and go off? You make the call...

The voice of the Star Wars films has always been more than dialogue. John Williams’ inescapable score set the emotional tone and resonance which transcended the words and direction, transporting modern audiences back to the feeling of the Silent Era when music was the only soundtrack provided. His work indelibly marked film culture in a way that grounded future works of fantasy. In this episode of Aggressive Negotiations, Jedi Masters Matthew Rushing and John Mills look at the fourth work of Williams’ Star Wars oeuvre, accompanying the retroactively-first film in story order, The Phantom Menace. They discuss its impact and reception at the time, the ties it had to the scores which came before and how it set the expectation for what was to come.HostsJohn Mills and Matthew RushingSend us your feedback!Twitter: @TheJediMasters Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheNerdParty/ Email: an@thenerdparty.comSubscribe in iTunes!

Barry is also the author of Music on Film: West Side Story, Encyclopedia of Hollywood Film Actors: From the Silent Era to 1965,Everybody’s Talkin’: The Top Films of 1965-1969and co-author of Lucille Ball FAQ. He recently updated Stanley Green’s Hollywood Musicals: Year by Year. Barry, who does research for the Paley Center for the Media, admits that he usually can’t stop talking about the Academy Award nominations after they’re announced, so he will be “in rare form” again for this show. It’s no surprise that Barry lists his major interests as “Movies, Motion Pictures, and Film – in that order.” However, he can also be counted on for trivia pertaining to television, theater and musicals. He confesses “only being qualified to do jobs that require watching television during working hours.”
