1915 - Birth of Nation and Other, Less Horrible...

One Week, One Year ·

2021/05/06

CW for this episode: Rape, suicide, and racial violence Well if that content warning doesn’t tell you what you need to know, it’s time for the not all it’s cracked up to be and as racist and more than it’s cracked up to be, The Birth of a Nation. We’re excited to have done all the first hand research and leg work to tell you that it is not the revelation in filmic style and form that its reputation has it be. Regardless, there’s a lot to talk about with it, from the specifics of its heinous racial

1914 - War Were Declared (With Marco Rummo)

One Week, One Year ·

2021/04/24

It’s the beginning of Charlie Chaplin and the end of the world! (not related). That’s right, World War I is breaking out and everything is falling apart in Europe. As we hear in the news segment, the Italian Socialist Party thinks this is a bourgeois war and I would tend to agree. What exactly was the point of all this?? On the other hand Charlie Chaplin is just killing it right out of the gate, he’s a screen presence like nothing we’ve seen before. Something we have seen before in our film classes

One Week, One Year ·

2021/03/25

Well folks, it's finally time to say goodbye to our boi, our main man, and the legend himself, Papa Georges Méliès. This year Pathé angles him out of house and home and soon he burns all his films he owns in a rebellious rage. :( Meanwhile, feature films are getting started, including the earliest surviving American one, filmed in Westchestah! We also have the first narrative film with an all-Black cast, a fun one too! Listen along, folks! Also I hope you all appreciate my Joe's Apartment

1911 - Cucks of the Old West

One Week, One Year ·

2021/03/19

Lots of movies this time! Also what do you think of the alternate title A Morally Bankrupt Giving Tree? D.W. Griffith creates a lot of fodder for shady episode titles. We've got our introduction of Winsor McCay, some grand scale Italian and Russian historicals and mythologicals, and some steampunk that can take the place of the lost Aerial Anarchists! Listen along!

1910 - Decrepit Old Simps

One Week, One Year ·

2021/02/19

Well now DW Griffith is beginning to "show his power level" as modern day people of his ilk call it, beginning his fascination with the Civil War. We also have some startlingly mature camera work in the Max Linder films and confident, emotionally complex, and deep storytelling in the Danish debut of Asta Nielsen, The Abyss! (unrelated to James Cameron). You can watch along with our video version of the episode here on Youtube! You can check out our Instagram, Twitter and other social media crap

1909 - Oops, They Died!

One Week, One Year ·

2021/02/04

Legacies begin and end! D.W. Griffith commences his second whirlwind year in filmmaking and begins developing his style. After a weak 1908 Georges Méliès has a paltry 1909, and he only has a handful of films left before his last. Segundo de Chomón continues producing amazing work, cementing his spot as a worthy successor to Méliès. Thanks for listening all the way though the first decade of the 20th Century!

One Week, One Year ·

2021/01/28

This time: Advances in animation, strange, dreamlike color projection, Méliès has a bum year, Segundo de Chomón makes Undead Fury Road, and the racist father of American Cinema D.W. Griffith gets his first role. So in order: cool, cool, aw sad, rad AF, booooooo.

Ooh a long-un. But for good reason because the innovation this year is stunning! Cutting enters the scene in a big way and we begin to see the shape of real storytelling forming.
