Ep. 158: Laurel & Hardy Vol. 2- Another Fine Fest

Zach welcomes back Pod Pal Robert Stroude for another round of Laurel & Hardy shorts with their on going film festival, ANOTHER FINE FEST.

Tune in for more production stories surrounding the making of these comedy classics, exploration into the sub-topic of Laurel & Hardy remaking silent efforts for the dawn of sound, and where all of these films rank for ourselves and the fandom at large.
