This season Buster Keaton and Hollywood are creating iconic films which will define the art form even in the 21st century. Despite the modern technology of film however, the world is still very much that of the early 20th century, as exhibited by the massive exhibition of the British Empire. Mostly off of the world's radar for now is one Adolf Hitler, who is currently locked behind bars writing a self indulgent and hateful manifesto. Should the book and the man be released, their trajectory in German politics would be ominous. 

Thank you all for your support, enjoy the show!

You should watch his film The General. It's hilarious. Probably the oldest movie I keep revisiting after a few years.
