Film critic, podcaster, PHD candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and former guest Tim Brayton joins us to discuss THE EYES OF THE MUMMY MA, Lubitsch’s oldest surviving drama. In this episode, we discuss the momentous arrival of Emil Jannings and Pola Negri to the stock company, the rather troubling orientalist aspects of the film, and the ethics and economics of film preservation.

Jose Arroyo joins us to discuss CARMEN. For details on where to find this film, check out our resources page.
