Jackie and Greg are joined by Lucé Tomlin-Brenner of Vidéothèque and the It's Always Halloween podcast in their discussion of Buster Keaton and Clyde Bruckman's THE GENERAL from 1926. Topics of discussion include the film's political views, the audacity of its storytelling, Carl Davis' rousing score, its massive influence on generations of filmmakers, and what made Buster Keaton unique among other silent comedians.
