Description: Episode Notes
This week, we take on the oldest movie Amity has ever seen – 1923’s classic Safety Last! Known for it’s iconic images of Harold Lloyd hanging from a clock several stories above the ground, we dissect how this man – Harold Lloyd the character – got himself into this mess. But it’s pretty clear this may be a parable how lying only brings trouble – unless you are superhumanly skilled at pratfalls and climbing. It’s a thrilling watch for sure!
