Where to find Buster: A Life in Pictures
Returning to NoN is Ryan Barnett, the host of the podcast "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North". Ryan has also written a graphic novel about silent film star Buster Keaton. One of Keaton's final films was a project with the Canadian National Film Board called, "The Railrodder" (1965), so Ryan was the perfect guest to have on to discuss. In this episode, host of NoN Andrew Hunter Scholey and Ryan Barnett discuss his graphic novel with artist Matthew Tavares, "Buster: A Life in Pictures". What got him into silent film and Buster in the first place? His research and ultimately interviewing the director of the film Gerald Potterton. All in all a great chat about not just Canadian cinema, but also the golden age of Hollywood and one of its biggest stars.
