One Week, One Year One Week, One Year

WE HAVE RETURNED! This week: D.W. Griffith’s attempt (maybe) to convince the world he wasn’t a bigot, actually. Plus, a whole lotta’ talk about the film serial ”Les Vampires” which contains (checks notes) zero actual vampires. Take it up with Louis Feuillade, it was his call.

Just like in 2020, going to the movies was a big bummer in 1918 because of a pandemic. But let's not focus on that because the movies were (mostly) fun! We look at some classic slapstick comedy shorts, early animation, stop-motion dinosaurs, ladies refusing to be told what to do, and Scandinavian trips to Mars!

This week is a special one-off episode (vepisode) where we're taking a look at both the 1996 film and 2022 HBO series Irma Vep with guest Jack Virnich! 
Heads up, its probably a good idea to watch both (especially the show) before listening. The discussion gets a bit heady and might not make a lot of sense if you haven't seen them. But you should see them anyway because they are good!
