  Aug 14, 202659 min

  Harold Lloyd biographer Annette D'Agostino Lloyd is helping us celebrate the 100th birthday of "For Heaven's Sake"! (released April 6, 1926) In the fall of 1925, "The Freshman" is breaking records for Lloyd at the box office while Harold his writers are prepping their first film for Paramount, a concept which takes a surprising evolution into a future classic. When the have to jettison the project, they're left wondering what kind of story to tell. The evolution of that story and its echoes in a lifelong dedication which begins for Lloyd in 1926. As the regular crew and cast assemble, Jobyna Ralston elevates the film in a rich role as "Hope," and Noah Young delivers a star turn as antagonist-turned-sidekick "Bull." The difference between two-camera and multi-take shooting for the international releases. How Harold shot differently from Roach and others, and the differences in the final versions. Plus: Constantine Romanoff, Arthur Houseman, and Foster Brooks.

  Episode 19 - The Writer's Room with Joe Furey

  Jul 24, 20261h 10m

  The business of comedy has shifted, but some things haven't changed since Harold and his gag team were first making "Lonesome Luke." From "Late Night with David Letterman," "Newsradio" and "What We Do In The Shadows," we're exploring the art of the writers' room with Emmy-nominated comedy veteran Joe Furey! Why Lloyd films and other classic comedians still hold up better than others. How making comedy has evolved over time, and how much it's stayed the same since the days. And allowing for the flexibility and the discipline to try new ideas and hone them into an art. Joe's feature film "Love and Support" is available on Amazon Prime.

  Bonus - Harold & Hal & Stan & Ollie: The Laurel and Hardy Silents with Patrick Vasey

  Jul 14, 202657 min

  Hal Roach Studios was built on the comedy of Harold Lloyd and sustained by Our Gang and Laurel & Hardy. And Harold and Stan stayed friends throughout their lives. As Bruce Goldstein launches a massive Laurel & Hardy retrospective at Film Forum this week, we take a few minutes to talk about the most famous duo to come out of Hal Roach Studios with Patrick Vasey, host of The Laurel & Hardy Podcast and author of the upcoming two-volume limited edition book, "Laurel & Hardy: Silents" available now through the end of July. Patrick and I talk about his Harold Lloyd fandom, the culture around Hal Roach Studios, how the company known by its employees as the “Lot of Fun” evolved over the 1920s through Harold's departure and Stan and Ollie's growing partnership, and why the story of Lloyd's career is where Patrick's new book begins. The book written by Patrick and designed by Russell Babbage, tells their history chronologically day to day from 1920 through 1929 with over a thousand rare photos from Hal Roach Studios scanned by Russell. It's available through Kickstarter, and it surpassed its fundraising goal. So the print run is guaranteed but only up to a thousand copies. Reserve your copy here by July 31 st 2026.

From "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (1921) to "Saving Private Ryan," (1998) the artistic and medical reasons why modern filmmakers who embrace the visual language of silent film are more emotionally successful with audiences. Introducing silent movies in theaters, and the Harold Lloyd films that resonate best with Academy members and mainstream audiences. The trajectory of the big three comedians and their transitions to sound. The Biograph Project and the surprises of rediscovering the early films of D.W. Griffith. The importance of preservation and curation for a new generation. Douglas Fairbanks' enduring appeal as the first action movie star, and Mary Pickford's underappreciated influence creating a new acting technique for film.
