Today’s episode is my conversation about the 1931 film Skippy. I’m joined Jonathan Hammond, film director and previous guest on the podcast and we talk about the deep trauma that resulted from watching this film, some major issues with the film’s production when you look at it from today’s perspective, and a long-standing legal battle over a simply name.
You can watch Skippy online and be sure to check out Jonathan’s films at a festival near you and give him a follow on Instagram @jonohamm.
