More than a century ago, dinosaurs roamed the Earth and cinema began! So that's why we're starting the new year where things started for cinema: Silent Films! In this episode, me and my friend Brian Skutle talk about silent films; from the birth of cinema to its evolution, slapstick and horror, and the transition to sound films. As usual, we close the episode sharing our five favorite silent films. Check it out!
