Derek gives Alec a crash course in W.C. Fields and the silent movie era stars. They also tackle Criterion's release of "W.C. Fields 6 Short Films"

Episode twenty-one begins over a hundred years ago. The chaps go way back and talk the 2000 Criterion Collection release of, "W.C. Fields: 6 short Films". This DVD is out of print, but luckily the six short films that make up this collection, (Pool Sharks, The Golf Specialist, The Pharmacist, The Fatal glass of Beer, The Barber Shop, and The Dentist) are fairly easy to find elsewhere as they are  part of the public domain. With the short "Pool Sharks" being filmed in 1915, its safe to say this is the furthest the whippersnappers at PsychotroniCast are going back in their ongoing series to bring you the goods.
