Like-O-Rama 10 - Buster Keaton by Dan and Aaron Like-O-Rama

This episode, Dan goes on at great length about Buster Keaton, a truly phenomenal filmmaker and silent era comedy star. His comic imagination and the unbelievable punishment he'd put himself through in order to realize it are unmatched to this day. Almost all of his movies (as well as Roscoe Arbuckle's) are on YouTube, so go check those out!

NOTES / DON'T @ US:
- For the first chunk, Dan had a mean mic that ate up the ends of some words. It was eventually beaten into submission and surrendered. Alternatively, Dan was leaving the ends off of words because he’s super cool and trendsetting.
- Aaron’s mic was also acting up, switching from mono to stereo, and Dan is dumb and doesn’t know how to fix it so enjoy the sporadic bonus sound, free of charge!
- Buster and Arbuckle's boss at UA was Joseph Schenck, not Max Schenck. Schenck went on to co-found and run 20th Century Fox and also go to prison for tax evasion. Classic movie mogul.
- Roscoe Arbuckle died the night after signing the second contract of his comeback, not the first. It was his first contract for feature-length pictures.
- Dan said the animated / live action short "You Ought to Be in Pictures" starred Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, but it was Porky Pig and Daffy. His brain meant that, but his mouth was playing a cruel prank on him. Whadda maroon! Also, that wasn’t the first mixture of live action and animation. There were lots. Google it! They’re neat!
