Ep. 119: The Freshman (1925) or ‘We’re Just A Regular Podcast, Step Right Up and Call Us Speedy’

Yesteryear Ballyhoo Revue

Zach welcomes aboard journalist and blogger Annette Bochenek (Hometowns to Hollywood) as the Ballyhoo embarks on it's journey back to school as they gain admittance to Tate College to properly deep dive the 1925 Harold Lloyd classic, THE FRESHMAN. Step right up and call them talky as the two unravel the origins of Harold Lloyd, analyze how his silent comedy differentiated itself from his contemporaries, marvel all the way through the plot and how it establishes and carries on eternal tropes, become in awe over the deep humanity found amid the broad and amazing physical comedy, and finally sift through the many ways the film has influenced cinema to this day. ------------------------------- Be sure to check out Annette's amazing work on HOMETOWNS TO HOLLYWOOD Website: https://hometownstohollywood.com/ Books For Sale: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Annette-Bochenek/author/B01LYYOXB8?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true and follow her on social media: Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/home2hollywood/ Twitter- https://twitter.com/Home2Hollywood Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/home2hollywood/ Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/home2hollywood and check out Annette on NO SOAP RADIO: https://www.youtube.com/@nosoapradiorecreations5320
