Ep. 77: Noah’s Ark (1928) or ‘The Director and The Deluge’

Zach welcomes stand-up comedian and writer Andrew Bueno onto the program to suss through the mysteries and lessons from the aftermath of a great deluge as they take a long look at Michael Curtiz’s 1928 biblical epic, NOAH’S ARK.

After you sat amidst the sound of partial silence, stick around as the boys unfold the stories of development and Curtiz’s ambitions when coming to America, curdle at the many stories of his directorial methods, ponder the transition from silent to sound and it’s affect on the film, become bewildered by the mash up of Biblical story and World War I Melodrama, recount and reflect upon the infamous flood scene and the many injuries it caused, and finally take a good long moment to discuss the films legacy and impact on both filmmaking and set safety.

Plus: Borat, what are you doing here?
