episode 0092 - s is for... sherlock jr. (1924) with aaron lowe

  • Summary

  • A-Z continues and we are  on the letter S!  It was supposed to be Shaolin Master Killer, but as you can see it is not. Aaron Lowe from Incredible Two-headed Podcast joins me in talking about the silent classic, celebrating its 99th birthday, Sherlock Jr. (1924), directed by Buster Keaton. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you check it out on Tubi with ads or on YouTube, link provided. It's an early example of stunt work on film. It's really crazy stuff... reckless really. Nevertheless, at just 44 minutes, the film delivers with its dream setting, lending to a unique American cinematic surrealism that works really well with the film's gags. Watch the film, we spend time talking about the various tricks and stunts and it's much better if you've seen what we're talking about. 

    Towards the end of the show we trail off and talk about Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and the now defunct block of late-night programming that included mostly cult and b-movies, TCM Underground.

    Dial F for Film is a podcast about the love of movies and host's -- J. Carlos Menjivar -- attempt to watch 1001 movies before he dies. A lover of lists and film, Carlos is a firm believer that all film lists should be tackled with one goal in mind: completion. Steven Jay Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" is the subject of this podcast. Each episode features one guest and five movies from the massive list, compiled into themed lists by the host. Guests each week will select one category without any prior knowledge as to what films are included. Once a category is chosen, Carlos reveals the five films and the viewing begins. The guests then come on Dial F for Film via Zoom and the discussion begins.
