Mark and Aaron welcome Ben Model, silent film historian, accompanist, distributor, and enthusiast. He gave a presentation about "undercranking" on Criterion's release of Chaplin's The Kid. We discuss the idea of undercranking, scoring silent music, and the state of silent media today theatrically and in the home video market.
