1931: Yancey and the Tramp
Academy vs Audience reaches 1931, where we encounter the bonkers, ridiculous, near-plotless majesty that is Cimarron, first western to win Best Picture, and the glory of its almost cartoonishly righteous lead, Yancey Cravat. Erin and Claire experience Yancey for the first time, while Dan explains how Frontier Journalist and Vigilante Preacher Yancey Cravat, Attorney at Law, became his new icon.
And he can be yours as well. Embrace Yancey Cravat.
And then Charlie Chaplin's here for our Last Stand of the Silent Era! What a good year, thanks 1931!
