The Hollywood Studios, Year-by-Year – Universal, 1930 – King of Jazz & Hell’s Heroes – w/ bonus Chantal Akerman and Martin Scorsese discussion
Our first Universal 1930 episode veers from racial insanity, courtesy of John Murray Anderson's two-strip Technicolor musical KING OF JAZZ (spoiler: the King is a White Man), to grisly Christian sentimentality, via William Wyler's HELL'S HEROES (aka Several Corpses and a Baby), which also makes this an accidental Christmas episode. If that's not enough, we also bring Big Discussion of Scorsese and Akerman!
