Episode description
In 1940, Charlie Chaplin determined that the only way he had to stop the fascists march around the world was to use his voice, literally, and produce his first true sound film with The Great Dictator. Inarguably, this film did not stop the war, but it did give us one of the most enduring calls to humanism ever put to celluloid.
Returning guest Adam S. joins us to talk about this marvelous movie that mocks fascists, which is always a worthwhile cause.
