Ben & Rob shut their mouths and open their eyes to silent movies, with the first movie in their three part series on Charlie Chaplin, his films and his legacy. 1921’s ‘The Kid’ was a film of hundreds of movie firsts - the first ever film to mix comedy and drama, starring the first ever child star and featuring Chaplin’s first wife; what better place for Rob to start his guided tour of the man the British Film Institute called “a towering figure in world culture”?

With Ben watching all of these films for the very first time, can Rob sway his co-host over to the joy that can be found in film before sound? Classic Hollywood is the foundation of so much that the podcast loves, and yet can Ben find anything to love in movies that involve any level of slapstick? What is this film's link to classic goth family comedy series ‘The Addams Family’? And what would YOU do if you found a baby in a bin?!

CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!
