The Laurel & Hardy Blogcast

Join us on a chronological journey through the films of the world’s best loved comedy team, Laurel & Hardy. We’ll have a special guest on each episode to help us to discuss every film the duo appeared in together, as well as giving some behind the scenes information too.

Episode 26 has very lofty ambitions, as Patrick and his guests discuss Laurel & Hardy’s 1929 short, Liberty. In the footsteps of Harold Lloyd, Liberty is the one and only time Stan and Babe made an out-and-out ‘thrill’ picture and what a hilarious short it is! To help him to discuss the locations used for the filming of Liberty, Patrick welcomes a new guest to the Blogcast, the “great detective of silent film locations”, John Bengtson. As well as hearing John’s Laurel and Hardy back-story, we also have the welcome return of the Atoll Question!

In the second half of the show, Patrick also welcomes regular Laurel and Hardy author and expert and friend of the Blogcast, Randy Skretvedt, who takes a close look at the film’s productions history.

If you like your Blogcasts packed full of interesting information, enjoyable conversation, movie clips and much more besides, then you’ll love Episode 26.
