Episode specific description:
Animation historians Jerry Beck and George Feltenstein talk about restoring the Tex Avery Screwball Classics, Vol. 1-3

Ready to dive headfirst into the world of animation? We've got you covered! Get ready to be enchanted as animation historians Jerry Beck and George Feltonstein unfurl the illustrious career of legendary animator Tex Avery. Travel back in time to Avery's beginnings in the 1920s, explore his work at Walter Lantz Productions, and marvel at his non-conformist shift from the Disney style of animation in the 1940s. His bold humor and distinctive gags not only made him a legend but also revolutionized the animation industry.

Restoring and preserving these masterpieces wasn't a walk in the park. Jerry and George share their painstaking journey of piecing together Avery's work in the mid-90s, dealing with censored cartoons, and their relentless search for the best materials available for the restoration process. They've worked tirelessly to restore and preserve these classic animations and have succeeded in bringing them back to life on these three Blu-ray releases.

Join us for a captivating  discussion of classic horror auteur Tod Browning with George Feltenstein of the Warner Archive, and esteemed film historians, Steve Haberman and Constantine Nasr. Their 20-year-long collaboration started with the DVD release of Mel Brooks’ "Dracula: Dead and Loving It," and has now extended to creating an audio commentary for the upcoming horror/sci-fi film, "The Devil Doll" (1936).  That's the jumping-off point for our discussion and appreciation of four of Tod Browning's films released for the first time on Blu-ray in October. 

This episode is also a testament to the importance of preserving and cherishing physical media, highlighted through the restoration of Browning's classic horror masterpiece, "Freaks" (1932), undertaken by the Criterion Collection in partnership with Warner Bros. You don't want to miss George Feltenstein's engaging story about the film master that was used in this restoration, and the fifty-year journey to return it to its rightful owner.  We also dissect the artistry behind Browning's 'The Mystic' (1925) and 'The Unknown' (1927), and the wonderful work Criterion did in restoring and presenting these silent films.

Lastly, we revisit the profound themes present in Browning's films, showcasing the darker aspects of human nature and crime. This episode is a celebration of classic horror cinema and a tribute to the artistry of director Tod Browning.
