14. Safety Last! (1923): Back Then They Didn't Have Uber Eats


Listen Later

The time has finally come—we're covering a silent film! This week we take a look at the early life and career of Harold Lloyd, culminating in the production of his first masterpiece Safety Last! (1923). Topics include child scammers, prop bombs that aren't prop bombs, towel delivery vans, and our impassioned arguments for why the so-called "third genius" of silent comedy deserves a greater legacy than he has been allotted.
