Silent film is on its way out but we still got a few good years left!

1928 saw the introduction of a very famous rodent, two of Buster Keaton's best features, Chaplin joining the circus, the movie that inspired a Batman villain, the template for spy films, and we are joined by Cody Jackson to discuss one of the final great silent dramas! Also, this is our first episode covering films that are still under copyright, so no playlist sadly!
