The General (24:34)
Part 4 in The Top 100 Project takes us into Buster Keaton’s orbit with this silent comedy classic. Come hear mull over the ramifications of rooting for a Southerner in the Civil War, how uncool it is to throttle your lady, and how this is really just a Die Hard movie. Oh, and it’s purty funny too. We enjoyed the picture, now you should make some time to enjoy (or vilify, it’s a free country) our podcast!

Ha! Yeah, I heard about how Buster broke his damn neck doing a stunt off a water tower, but couldn’t remember the movie. Good link, sir.
