What a joy to listen to Randy Skretvedt! Thank you so much for this podcast, Heath and greetings from Sweden!

I'm very glad that you made this documentary archiving the archivist Randy Skretvedt, because of his love of Laurel and Hardy he became a part of the Laurel and Hardy story so I'm glad that we can know something about him more than just his name on a book jacket.

I love L&H. My dad would sit with me and we would watch them on Channel 11 WPIX in the 1960's and he would tell me what it was like to see them in the movies when he was a little boy. He would still laugh and they would make you feel so good. They were master artists at the height of their craft. The world was blessed to have them brighten our lives.😊

THE GOLDEN AGE OF COMEDY is exactly how I had my first exposure to Laurel & Hardy as well, and also the Marx Brothers, and I believe The Big 3 as well.

"Digital is the new nitrate". Very well put.

As a young boy in 1950s NYC, I went to movie theaters a lot. But I also loved tuning into The Million Dollar Movie on channel 9. That's how I also was first exposed to Laurel and Hardy, as well as great movies from the 1930s and 1940s. Somehow, the weekly broadcasts of that channel got me more hooked than random public domain offerings I have to seek out on RU-vid. Thanks to shows like Cereal at Midnight, I get some guidance I need to decide which movies to buy. Thank you!

This is great stuff, Heath! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Laurel and Hardy are great. I picked up ‘The Definitive Collection’ a while back and have been slowly working my way through.

@OuterGalaxyLounge 11 месяцев назад

I watched these films on TV growing up in the '70s and I'd call myself a soft fan, though certainly loyal, but not a hardcore L&H fan, but I've always enjoyed and respected the love and dedication of the L&H fandom and their efforts to keep the films in the public eye and media circulation. One of the most fun times I ever had at a movie house back in the 1980s was a one-man-band musician playing his crazy musical contraption during a screening of L&H's Liberty and some other films.

@roberthealey526 11 месяцев назад

Great discussion. It’s a shame local broadcasters no longer show these classic films 😢

@CerealAtMidnight 11 месяцев назад

Right? I'd much rather see Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, The Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, or even old monster movies instead of infomercials.

@SmashupMashups 10 месяцев назад

It was pretty informative. Randy certainly knows Laurel and Hardy better than anyone, likely more than the average fan does. And it's always interesting to hear about the restoration process and how they originally did it.

@joseluisherreralepron9987 11 месяцев назад

"The Music Box" just makes me cry laughing every time I watch it...when Laurel walks that ladder into Hardy's eye...it makes me laugh just writing this. I'm very glad these shorts exist in such fine form now on disc.

@faheyplayer 11 месяцев назад

I agree, that ladder business is such a funny gag. What makes it so funny to me is how the ladder comes to a dead stop.

@thepagemaster2963 11 месяцев назад

Another home run! Great stuff heath

@CerealAtMidnight 11 месяцев назад

Thanks, sir!

@AndyTempleman-ot6lu 8 месяцев назад

I was thinking about Laurel and Hardy while I was on RU-vid and I came across this very informative interview. Thank you both. Glad to hear about Laurel and Hardy and the restorations.

@stevealdous2043 11 месяцев назад

Great interview. I love Randy's enthusiasm for his subject. I have his Magic Behind the Movies and it is the definitive book on L&H. Now awaiting my order of the Year One Blu-ray on import.

@hectormontalvo5565 11 месяцев назад

Outstandingly awesome interview bro! I remember the Laurel And Hardy movies playing on tv when I was a kid together with The Little Rascals on the government's channel in P.R. It's great that these comedians' movies have been rescued. Cool video Heath!👉😃👈

@MonkeyspankO 10 месяцев назад

Whoa, what a coup getting Randy on here. He seems like a goldmine of info. Love silent era films (and shellac, yes, so much amazing music pre 50s). Feels like a genuine treasure when another one is found/restored. I remember in the 70s and 80s there were some fans around, mostly older folks, but I remember the absolute distain people had for old films. Wouldn't surprise me one bit that people set on fire what little was left. Nuts!

@elisaintjohn9875 11 месяцев назад

Yet another fine interview, Heath. I think you definitely have a talent (and passion) in this area. And now this Blu-Ray release has rocketed into the top tier of my admittedly large wishlist. Thank you and keep up the good work.

@RaiderJoe44 11 месяцев назад

As always, some really wonderful stuff here Heath! Randy has certainly earned his reputation as one of the preeminent L&H historians, and I really enjoyed the interview! Looking forward to picking up the Flicker Alley release.

@guely55 3 месяца назад

I watched this again for the enthusiasm of Randy, and because finally I am getting some blu-rays from The Boys. Greetings from Sweden!

@satanwest2923 11 месяцев назад

Great interview!!! Always love ur interviews!

@Old_Scot 11 месяцев назад

When I was growing up, we used to see silent movie compilations on UK tv quite often. An English comedian called Bob Monkhouse used to host some of the shows. I think he actually collected the films (reels) as a hobby, and shared them. The talkies of Laurel & Hardy, the Marx Bros, etc, were shown often on tv as well. So people my age were very familiar with Keaton, Lauren & Hardy, the Keystone Cops, Harry Langdon, etc. (I'm about Randy's age). As you alluded to, there's so much now, but the algorithm tailors it to what you've seen already, so you it's harder to discover anything new in some ways, because on streaming nothing is random.

@TimW-tq2ko 11 месяцев назад

Laurel & Hardy were great! Sons of the Desert and The Music Box are classics. I haven't seen any of their silent films, though.

@kenpope5798 11 месяцев назад

Great interesting interview 👍

@hawkspeak8592 11 месяцев назад

Now look what you made me do. I love Marx Brothers and W.C.Fields, was not that crazy about Laurel and Hardy. Now. After this interview, I had to go and buy the restorations. Not ready for the silents yet. but the restorations? Now I gotta get it. Silents probably for the next Social Security check. great interview in other words. The Adamson book he mentions, stupendous, still my favorite book about the Marx Brothers.

@johnm.withersiv4352 8 месяцев назад

I love silent movies, but haven't added any to the collection since I stopped working on the PhD in American Film Genres.

@zacharyrhein5425 11 месяцев назад

Would love to ask Randy or you Heath if you’ve ever heard of Dorthy Coburn. She was an actress that worked with Laurel and Hardy and is a distant relative of mine.

@CerealAtMidnight 11 месяцев назад

That's awesome!

So there working on LAUREL & HARDY: THE DEFINITIVE RESTORATIONS 2?

@spiritualED 11 месяцев назад

9:53 This too was touched on in the brilliant Keanu Reeves doc. Side by Side. A question. Wouldn’t you have multiple back ups of all your films that are in digital format anyway? You are not going to spend all kinds of money and time only to have a few HDDs kicking around. Right? So the likelihood of these digital films being lost forever is super slim compared to film. It’s understood we have a better sense on how to store films nowadays vs way back when, but, we also (when it comes to HDDs) have a pretty good idea of how to recover digital files when an HDD gets corrupted. Let’s face it., if given a choice, most people would store film onto HDDs to begin with. I get that on the surface it is a pretty decent argument to make in favour of film vs digital, but, both formats really can co-exist. Film will never truly go away. Call me old school though, but I’ll always prefer film over video. 😁

@CerealAtMidnight 11 месяцев назад

I think the fear of any digital medium is some sort of corruption or even data loss from something like an EMP, but that's not really something I feel qualified to speak on. Digital is intangible and therefore impermanent, at least compared to the 100 year longevity of something like film, which has a physical record. But then again, everyone involved in this conversation is very pro-film and pro-physical.

Heath looks like he just got back from an Australian Safari and forgot to change his shirt. 😉
