#862: Buster Keaton #1 - The Shorts / Filmspotting Madness
Silent film star Buster Keaton has and probably always will exist in the shadow of his contemporary Charlie Chaplin. And because of that underdog status, Keaton has had his share of passionate advocates. The latest is Slate critic and friend of the show Dana Stevens, whose new book “Camera Man” puts Keaton at the center of her study of "The Dawn of Cinema and the Invention of the 20th Century." With four classic Keaton shorts selected by Stevens, Adam and Josh embark on their Buster Keaton Marathon. Plus, Filmspotting Madness - Best of the 1970s kicks off with the Play-In Round.
