Taggart Houck: Alex Murdaugh's Son Has Kept Quiet During Trial

"You're talking about the horrific loss of life of two family members of the murtaugh family. I know you've covered a lot of stuff in your tenure as you worked in Myrtle Beach and now in the upstate my gosh, even to a reporter like you, this has got to be eye opening to see the details of this case. I mean, I've just got so many questions for you. If I could start with one of them, I see the surviving son buster is sitting behind his dad every day in this courtroom, does the sun support his father who has been accused of such a heinous crime of slaughtering buster's brother and mom? And Mike, first of all, thank you so much for having me on, it's great to talk to you this morning. Thank you. That is that I think a lot of us are asking ourselves in the media. We've seen buster walk into the courtroom every single day since the jury has actually been selected. So essentially, every single day of this trial, we have seen him walk into the courtroom, sit behind his father, and he is always with his uncle, John Marvin Murdoch, as well as Alex sister, and then buster's girlfriend. But I think the big question, you know, a lot of people wonder if he's supporting him. We are not able to speak with buster. We have been asking him questions as he's walked into the courthouse, but have not gotten any answers. He is, though, on the defense's list to testify, indicating that he is certainly someone who is cooperating with the defense on this side of this. So I guess if you're wanting to draw the lines, you could say potentially that he is, but public, we have not seen any comment from buster at this point. It's been very fascinating to see him in the courtroom and kind of the way he's even sitting in the courtroom with some of his expressions for the most part has not really shown much emotion during his trial.

Inflation hovers over shoppers heading into Black Friday

"Retailers are anxious to see if inflation will curb spending for Black Friday shoppers, rising prices for food, rent, gasoline, and other household costs have taken a toll on shoppers, and many are reluctant to spend unless there's a big sale. There are also more selective about what they buy. Some shoppers are also dipping into their savings and are turning increasingly to buy now pay later services, such as after pay and PayPal's 6 months no interest, some pandemic habits are sticking around, major retailers including Walmart and target again close their stores on Thanksgiving Day, and many moved away from door busters, the deeply marked down items offered for a limited time that drew crowds, instead the discounted items are available throughout the month on Black Friday or the holiday weekend.

"ABC CBS we're not really in a recession our friends at news busters point that out This is today Cut to go The thing we are looking for later today that GDP report that some economists believe could show the second straight quarter of declines in our economic activity One way that people define a recession is not the official definition of a recession We're looking at this and we're hearing about recession It's almost like a buzzword now Aren't we I mean look we don't know Typically if GDP falls for a second quarter in a row that could signal a looming recession But the Biden administration has been insisting that that is not the case this time around that the economy is simply recalibrating after a post pandemic boom And then we have Brian deese who's been everywhere because he's a moron economic adviser to Biden cut 8 mister producer go We don't want to devolve into the recession labeled debate but I do wonder do you eventually expect the NBR to declare what we're in a recession Well we're certainly at a transition and we are seeing slowing as we all would have expected But I think if you look at the full data and the type of data that NDR looks at virtually nothing signals that this period in the second quarter is recessionary Obviously in the labor market 3.6% unemployment but also 1.2 million jobs in the second quarter 2.7 million jobs over the first half of this year That's not what a typical people or what the MDR would typically think of as recessionary If you've never heard of the NBR before that's okay It's another shiny object I wonder if any women on the NBR women you know People with vaginas I'm just saying that is the typical definition of a woman I

How Do Democrats Define 'Recession?'

"Here's a Montage of Janet Yellen and Biden advisers trying to spin the definition of a recession. Not the technical definition. In terms of the technical definition, it's not a recession. That is not the actual definition of a recession. The technical definition of a recession yeah, it's technical. This is all technical. Here's another super cut that news busters put together. Showing this desperate effort to. Wait a minute. Let me play the news buster's Montage. Cut number ten. This is a flashback of prominent Democrats and recession. Thursday, that first reading of second quarter GDP, there's a possibility this is a negative number. Two consecutive quarters of negative growth, the definition of a recession is a decline in output for two consecutive quarters or about 6 months. A recession is just two consecutive quarters of economic decline. When we talk about the possibility of a recession, what is a recession, a recession is two consecutive quarters. Two consecutive quarters. Two consecutive quarters, two consecutive quarters of declining GDP. Because as you know, it's two consecutive quarters of down GDP. That signals it is actually a definition of a recession. I mean, it was common definition of a recession to consecutive quarters of negative growth. Even if we don't have two consecutive quarters of negative growth, we might have one quarter of growth so deep that it's classified as a recession.

The Unfair Attacks on Josh Hawley Have Nothing to Do With January 6

"Re opt to my. Comment on Saturday that this is unintentionally quite revealing. It's a Tim Graham of media busters clip of Stephen Colbert and Chris Hayes talking to each other. Demonstrating the ill effects of the blue bubble on people without legal or training legal training or knowledge of history. I mean, they are living in a blue bubble where they hear one thing and one thing only which is the one 6th committee is a great success. It's not. Got low viewership as national events go. And it's not changed any minds to any significant degree. And it deeply unfair and the American people know it's deeply unfair. And that deep unfairness was best demonstrated by the sideswipe of Josh hawley, who has got nothing to do with what Trump did or didn't do on January 6th, the former president's conduct allegedly the point of the hearing on Thursday night, but they began with a clip of Mitch McConnell to run him over and they ended with one of Josh hawley to shame him and my hypocrite, nonsense, by the way, for mobs coming at you on the other way did not call on people to take over the capitol. Just pure two minutes of hate, George Orwell stuff, if you've read 1984. But I genuinely don't think that Chris Hayes and Stephen Colbert have any idea what they're saying.

Stephen Colbert is very, very left wing and therefore he's very, very political and sent her right America won't watch him. And NBC hadn't figured this out yet. No one's figured out. Why does no one trust elevation 'cause everyone's overtly political and they don't tell you. But sometimes in exchange can be unintentionally revealing.

"Hi, my name's John baker and I'm running for the school board at this time for district 6. For the last four or 5 months I've been studying the budgets. I've been studying the organization. I've been talking to people inside and outside the school system. And when you describe the evil, the good and evil. I'm seeing that, but what it's like and it's like wrestling with a cobweb. How do you deal with that? It's a great analogy. Well, I'm going to use that. So how do you deal with it? So you need to try to build a majority on your school board if you win, which is easier said than done. Then you have to, before you take office, because you're not yet a school board member, is that right? Okay. You have to make a decision that you are going to put what is right above what is likeable. Or what is popular. And then you have to understand, as a school board member, they will demagogue. They will delay. They will fill a buster. They will do everything they possibly can. But you as a school board member have a lot of power. And creating an inside out access between you as a school board member and an active parent group is what's been missing. So you have to be getting information and then leaking it to parents to get angry at the school board meetings. And vice versa,

"Is a great one in cops. And it is, in addition to the one you mentioned, where at this point, he has haphazardly unwittingly tossed that bomb after lighting his cigarette, right? He uses the fuse to light his cigarette, doesn't realize what it is, just tosses it and it explodes in the midst of this policeman parade. So the rest of the short 60, a hundred policemen are chasing him. And at one point, he goes up a ladder, that's against a wall that ends. It's like, you know, ends about maybe 12 feet up. And so the ladder starts to tip and you get a teeter totter gag. So he's trying to balance it. Cops find him, grab the ladder at one end, pull it down, cops on the other end of the wall, can't see the others, so they grab the other end and it's kind of this ongoing teeter totter thing, which I think is just fantastic. But did cops strike you as kind of dark? I mean, maybe it's obvious we're talking about bombs being thrown at police and it's all played for a comic effect, but wow, the more and more Keaton circled around this city, being chased by an increasing number of uniformed policemen. Maybe I'm just looking this through looking at this through political 2022 eyes, but I wonder if there's a little commentary here about the overzealousness of law enforcement and how yes there's a guy who as far as they know is like a prime suspect that needs to be captured, but just the fact that we're getting a hundred policemen increasingly irate chasing after him did make me kind of see it that way and it kind of ends on a dark note too in terms of what actually happens to our hero who, you know, in the other features makes it out, okay, pretty much okay by the end, not so much here. Yeah, I think that sense of exploring the exploited and thumbing his nose at authority is something we see from Keaton in some of these films and we'll probably see more of throughout this marathon. I go back to one week and the scarecrow for my other favorite gag candidates. We've already seen at one point where buster has walked through a room and opened a door that if this place was constructed properly, should take him into another room. And of course, it just takes him head over heels into the grass. He falls basically down because there's nothing there to catch him. And so we've seen that, which means we know that when that door gets opened again by another character that they're going to go right out onto the grass just like buster does. And I think that there's something to that as well that that math being done by the audience when we know something's coming because it's been set up before. Even in cops, it's really close together, but you mentioned the bomb. The way that's handled where I think the order is we see someone on a rooftop holding a bomb, like they're about to throw it. And we see buster in the front of his carriage, trying to light a cigarette and have nothing to light it with. And so you know, before buster does, that what's going to happen next is that bomb's going to land there and he's going to use it to light his cigarette. So I like that moment in one week. And I also really like the moment where at the end, he's trying to drag the car, he's trying to drag the house with his car across the lot to where he should park his house. And the rope breaks. So he tries to nail it. He nails his car seat to the house, and he's going to drive and pull it like he's toeing it. And of course, we don't think this is going to work, but what we don't expect is exactly what happens, which is the top part of the car stays attached. At the bottom, rolls away. And it's actually a repeat in a way of a gag earlier in the film, right? Day one of building the house, where he's doing some sawing of a board. On top. And he puts the nail in and then he tries to cut a piece and actually, in that instance, he successfully cuts it, but goes down with the board. Can I just say one of the reasons I love one week so much, I think, is because my handyman skills are very similar to Buster Keaton's. I just assumed, I mean, a nail, you just nail something in and that's solves everything, right? And no, not quite everything is a disaster. I would never have been able to put that house together either. Yeah, who knows? He may read directions better than I do. We'll never know because the boxes got switched on him, right? That's true. The other one I was going to mention was just from the scarecrow. Where he runs around the top of the ruined house. Oh, but how about the dog? The dog chasing him. Every part of that is just insanely brilliant. Blue dog, the dog. The dog changing direction and going after him and you see the big gaps and you think, well, they'll never be able to cross those, and of course they glide right over them. That was so inspired. And what about that moment with the scarecrow? As well, where he acts like the scarecrow is being chased. It's really good. And he puts on the clothes and he poses just like a scarecrow and fools them for a little bit anyway. That kind of physicality, even though I suppose it's a little ironic that he's actually being still in that moment, but he's so perfectly replicating how a scarecrow looks that it is believable and it's no different than in some of these other films that we watched where he's acting like a horse. He's acting like an orangutan. He is acting in a very machine like way. A lot of times, that's where Keaton's physicality really comes through. So I want to give a word of encouragement to anyone who's listening and has not yet committed to watching some of these or wants to play along with the marathon. I don't know why you'd be listening now, maybe it's only those people have already bought in, but really I have found these to be incredibly stress relieving. And maybe.

"But in this case, he had mentioned Keaton himself that he only really did that because the line in the playhouse where a Keaton character says something like, well, this Keaton guy sure seems to do at all was actually a jab at another director from the time who loved to list himself as everything in the credits. And so he listed a co director just so that it wouldn't look hypocritical. Like he was giving himself all the credit for making this film. But yeah, I saw it as more of a fantasy where, oh, he now gets to play out all of these roles. And you're right, that sequence where he's the composer. And then in each part of the pit, I think there's three versions of Keaton on each side doing the playing. And then we get that trick photography of that duet dance with himself that's perfectly in sync and really fun to watch. And I was also thinking while watching this, you were thinking about the Muppets, probably this will be the last time, maybe it won't, but it could be the last time we mentioned, I don't know. Coming to America or the nutty professor movies aren't those the movies that Eddie Murphy remake, Josh, that a professor. But this is a precursor to all of that. This is Keaton playing like 20 different roles. Some of them he looks like Buster Keaton, but in other cases he's playing men, he's playing women. He's playing young characters. He's playing old characters. This really is inventive. I think a little bit more beyond the trick photography. It's more inventive in all the different ways we get to see Keaton play with character. Yeah. And probably a good point to mention that this is also an instance of Keaton in blackface or employing blackface in one of his shorts. And Dana, in her book, really delves into sort of the tradition of that. And how Keaton would have encountered it in his vaudeville days as a kid. And other stars African American stars of the time who were working on the stage and then eventually in screen. So that's another really great sort of side channel that Dana goes down in her book that I would recommend why people should pick that up. But yeah, I think this one is, there is so much going on and that adds to the anxiousness too. Just this activity and the fact that it is all emanating from this one performer. Now you mentioned Eddie Klein. I think the credits here are Edward F Klein. Actually, credited as co writer and co director on all four of these shorts, which is which is really interesting. And you know, we often think at least the first time I started thinking of Keaton, I thought of a more just as a star. And it wasn't until I started actually watching some of this stuff and realizing how much of a hand he had in it, but also at least for the shorts that we're considering today had a key collaborator incline as a co writer and co director. We have talked about all of the shorts so far except really cops and maybe a way to get in to cops would be for me to ask you if you had a favorite gag throughout these four films. One particular standout moment in terms of the comedy. And cops has a contender for me, even though it's relatively subtle, or it's relatively common in terms of this type of gag, we see in Keaton's work. We see in these four films, it's really the start of cops, where he is interacting with a rich man, and I don't remember the exact sequence, but I think it's a series of three kind of little tricks that happen with this guy where he fools him and kind of ends up with his wallet, and then he ends up giving the wallet back, but he's got his cash, and then the guy wants his cash back, and he gets in a cab, but the next thing you know, buster's the one who's actually gotten in the cab and taken his seat. In all three instances, he has managed to get the upper hand on the guy. And that repetition of the gag. The constant surprise of it just when you think you've gotten the joke and then buster adds a second part and then he adds a third part on top of it that was one of the standout ones for me. Yeah, it's really good and ties into really the first third of cops, which is mostly about the way money and possessions can be easy come, easy go, 'cause after that sequence, buster gets tricked, right? A guy tricks him into giving that money away to buy this furniture, which doesn't even belong to that guy, belongs to this family who's moving and has put it out on the sidewalk. So yeah, it's this kind of rotating gag where he is the instigator in some ways, but then becomes the victim, just a few seconds later. Maybe my favorite gag would probably go back to one week and it is the train smashing the house at the very end. I mean, again, it goes just back to the river a scale of it..

"Made. But the stuntman did every stunt. I mean, this is not the modern Hollywood star always saying I do my stunts. This is actually somebody making sure to place the camera at a far enough away angle that you can really verify that it's his body, they're doing all of those dangerous things at once. He was also his film's editor. So at this very early stage, when film was just sort of defining what it was, all of those different those divisions of labor had not calcified in the way that they do now. And I think to him made complete sense that he would be in the cutting room, putting his film together himself instead of instead of farming it out to an editor. So when you see a silent Buster Keaton film, you know, one of the ones made between 1920 and 1928 or so, you really are seeing something that came entirely out of his brain no matter who's being credited as director on screen. Dana Stevens is the film critic for slate. Her new book is cameraman. Buster Keaton, the dawn of cinema and the invention of the 20th century. She'll be back to talk more after this short break and rock critic can Tucker will review Neil Young's new album barn, which he thinks is the best Neil Young album in quite a while.

We're speaking with slate film critic Dana Stevens, who's written a new book about Buster Keaton. Keaton directed and starred in a series of silent movies in the 1920s. His physical comedy made audiences laugh, but his films are regarded by historians as influential works in American cinema and culture. Steven's book is cameraman, Buster Keaton, the dawn of cinema, and the invention of the 20th century. You know, he was an innovator in filmmaking. And there are a couple of films that reflect this. One of them is a film called Sherlock junior and in particular a scene where he plays a guy who's a projectionist in the theater who falls asleep and then dreams of entering the movie. Tell us what he does here. Oh yeah, this is wonderful. I mean, this is a great starter Buster Keaton if you've never seen any of his movies because it really is nice and short, it's about an hour long and it really shows all the things that he could do, both with his body and with the camera. So yeah, the conceit that he had, which actually his longtime cinematographer was the one who dreamed up is why don't you play a projectionist who falls asleep in dreams his way into a movie. And it was because of the technical challenge of wanting to make that happen. You know, to see someone climb into a movie and become a part of it, that he was fascinated enough to do the film. And he loved to talk about the technique of how they actually did this, what they did was they created a stage set and lid it was wonderful cinematographer, Elgin Leslie, who we worked with for many years. Lit this stage set in a sort of flat way so that it would look like the screen of a movie to trick the eye of the viewer and then we just see him climbing in from the stage. But at that moment, of course, the Keaton character finds himself inside a movie and not sort of able to adjust to the world of being in a movie, and there's an incredible editing gag where the Buster Keaton on the screen finds himself into space. The movie within a movie then cuts to a completely different space like at one point a lion's cage with a lion in it. And suddenly he's in that space, right? So he sort of trapped in this loop of editing and that's a wonderful joke in the middle of the movie. It's an amazing effect for a movie made in the 1920s. It looks like the guy actually walks into the movie and enters it, which today people will check out, you can do that. But it's a remarkable that he did it in those early years. Yeah, he loved to brag about the fact that that always tricked people later in life and interviews he would say, I've seen that with many an audience and nobody can ever figure out how it was done. And he said that all the other cinematographers at the time would go to see Sherlock junior to try to figure out how the climbing into the screen thing had been done. It's interesting he was not a man of a lot of pretense, was he? I mean, he didn't think of himself as when people would call him a genius in an artist. He didn't like that, did he? No, it's something fascinating to read when you read interviews with him is that he loved to talk about technique. Like I say how he accomplished certain effects and things like that. He liked to tell stories about his childhood. He was not resistant to speaking to interviewers, but he was not introspective or self analytical at all. And he, in fact, was resistant to the idea that his work meant anything other than trying to make people laugh. And if he was called a genius or an artist or anything like that, I think tended to really withdraw and start to mistrust the person who had said that, he went. What would you say? Yeah, you can't be a genius and slap shoes in a pork pie hat or something like that. Yeah, exactly. The silent era came to an end at with the 20s, essentially, as a lot of things in the United States were changing, including the film industry. And that was when Buster Keaton lost his independence and signed a contract with the studio MGM where, you know, it was a big corporate machine and he had roles that was all written and this production schedules were defined and he kind of had to do what he was told. This didn't suit him well did it. No, I mean, this is a very painful part of the book to research and the movies that he made at that point are painful to watch. And even more painful in a ways that they were successful. You know, every talkie that he made at MGM that he regarded as the worst turkeys he'd ever turned out and that nobody watches now really unless your researching the dark years of Buster Keaton were all moneymakers for him. And part of that was that MGM had a strong marketing arm and he had a big name and people just went to see the new Buster Keaton movie because it was there. But tastes were also changing in the early days of sound. And sound comedies very few of early sound comedies make us laugh now. But the things that made people laugh when sound was new, often had to do with just the novelty of hearing people speaking and hearing music and having sound incorporated into the film going experience in the first place. You write that to see him in talkies is to witness the extinguishing of a singular artist's creative spark and the erosion of his professional confidence. Why were these movies so bad? I mean, people went to see them and could you give us a think of an example? I mean, it's possible that the film I was talking about then was what no beer, which is maybe his very most painful film to watch at MGM because it was toward the end. It was in fact the last film he made with him as their star comedian, and by that time he really was deep into depression, alcoholism, you know, he just had a very painful divorce. He was just an absolutely chaotic and miserable time of his life and it a 100% shows up on screen and it's just awful to see him seeming so miserable, especially because this character that he'd always played, which, as you said, was a resourceful, plucky, you know, someone who was put upon by the world and always getting out of disaster situations, but who had a lot of resources to do so kind of inner resources. Spunk and gumption. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right. And during this period at MGM, somehow his passivity, the passivity of his character, that kind of essential, quiet that he always had a silent films, gets misinterpreted as masochism almost. And MGM movies really involve a lot of things that hark back to the joke Keaton, Buster Keaton, and that they're violent, but not in that they're funny. So there's a lot of scenes of him kind of being manhandled by bigger characters being thrown around, having no power. He doesn't get the girl anymore. He's kind of the outcast almost, or, you know, he's sort of the loser and some of these movies. And it doesn't suit his character at all. It doesn't suit his sense of humor. And I feel like at MGM, they just never really figured out who he was. They couldn't figure out what kind of vehicles to buy for him, what kind of material to put him in. And or the simple fact that there are some performers that if you give them their freedom, they'll do all sorts of incredible things. And if you take away their freedom, they're an animal in a cage. And that, I think, is how he felt and how he seemed in his films while he was at MGM. So his drinking, which had already been, you know, something that ran in the family, his father was an alcoholic, his mother seems to have drunk almost every day, like the sat and played cards and drank bourbon every day. And he came from that culture, but it really intensified after his marriage started to fall apart after his job satisfaction went to down to zero and during those miserable years. As a result, he was fired from MGM by Louis B Mayer in 1933 and had a couple of years really on the skids, where he had a lot of trouble finding work. He did not have his drinking under control at one point he married his sobriety nurse, the woman who had been hired to look after him and make sure he didn't get drunk, and they spent a couple of seemingly miserable years together. And that was a very dark time in his life. Although I do try to make the point in my book that that was not the end for buster and to kind of shake your head and say it's too bad that he went off the rails and then just write him off is a complete underestimation of the drive that he had to entertain and to continue to work. And the need to work because he had to support his entire family of origin as he did his whole life. So he, you know, he had after his divorce from his first wife, he had a two year marriage to mace Griffin, who was this nurse helping with his sobriety. And then in 1940, I believe he married Eleanor Norris, who was a contract, dancer at MGM. This was a more mature relationship. Made him happier, and he found found a place in the business, didn't he? What did he do? Yeah. I mean, this is what I mean about Keaton really managing to turn his life around in a way that I think often doesn't get appreciated in storytelling about his life. So over the course of the 1940s he was behind the scenes at MGM as a gag writer and had success there, but it wasn't really visible to audiences, but toward the end of the 40s and the early 50s he started to get bit parts in big movies. He's in sunset boulevard. He has a little bit part in that. He's in a musical with Judy Garland, where he has a small part. But not so much movies as TV really interested him. And just as always, he was always wanting to do the latest thing. He was in vaudeville at the height of vaudeville. He was in silent film at the height of silent the silent film era. And he really broke into television very early and found a lot of success there in all different kinds of roles. I mean, everything from having his own sort of sitcom at one point, appearing on the Donna Reed show and lots of other sitcoms. The Twilight Zone candid camera. I mean, there's just very little early TV that Keaton did not get in on in one way or another. You mentioned viewing his stuff on YouTube. It's remarkable, as I was preparing for for our conversation, how many of his films are on YouTube for free in this beautifully restored print? These beautifully restored prints. What would you recommend to somebody who wants to a beginner who wants to develop an appreciation for Buster Keaton? Oh, that's a great question. Yes, it is important to know that almost all these movies are streaming and most of them are streaming for free because they're in the public domain. So definitely just explore on your own. But I would say for the short 20 minute film, watch one week, which I think is one of his all time masterpieces and one of the great American comedies is sort of a romantic comedy let's put it that way, but with lots of slapstick from 1920 cops is another short that you just can't go wrong with it's incredibly crowd pleasing and full of just astonishing physical stunts. And then getting into the features. I mean, it really depends on your taste, but I would say that my two probably my two favorite Buster Keaton movies, maybe not the most famous, maybe not his favorites of his own, would be Sherlock junior, which is from 1924, and the key image from this one, if you've seen it, maybe in clip reels is of him climbing into a movie screen and joining what's happening on screen. Essentially inserting himself into a movie in progress. And steamboat Bill junior, which was his last independent movie, and it's just a really beautifully accomplished movie. And a sad one to watch in that you realize that he was just hitting his stride, the height of his powers, and that was when his independence was just about to be taken away. He died in 1966 of lung cancer. Was he a happy man then? You know, I think he was, actually, the last chapter of my book opens with this speculation is sort of how much professional disappointment did Keaton feel at the end of his life. We know he was personally happy. That seems really, really evident from just all of the stories of his relationship with Eleanor and what she said about him after he died when she became a big guardian of his legacy. And personally, I think there's no question that he found contentment, which is wonderful in itself. Professionally, it's another of those black boxes because he never stopped getting work, you know, after he got back to work after that dark time we talked about. He never stopped wanting to work or being curious about trying new things. But he also never got to direct a movie again. You know, he never got to be the lead of a movie again. He never got to devise comedy of the kind that only he could devise. And there must have been somewhere deep buried inside some regret about having had such a wonderful flight of creativity for so many years and then having to work in a more constrained way. But when asked about it, he always said, I couldn't have had a lucky or happier life. You know, he was not a complainer and I think he was pretty satisfied with the three score and ten that he got on earth. Well, Dana Stevens, thank you so much for speaking with us. It was an absolute delight. Thank you, Dave. Dana Stevens is the film critic for slate. Her new book is cameraman. Buster Keaton, the dawn of cinema and the invention of the 20th century.

"It's really pretty remarkable. The crew had a hard time watching, didn't they? Oh, yes, this is a part of the legend of the filming of that steamboat Bill junior House collapses that the cameraman had to look away and that the director was off praying. I think the director did actually confirm years later that he was in fact often in his tent in his office praying that the stunt would go off. That people were fainting on the sidelines because it really was the most dangerous stunt he'd ever undertaken. You know, something that if he had been a fraction of binge off, could have questioned. The silent era came to an end with the 20s, essentially, as a lot of things in the United States were changing, including the film industry.

"Kind of a rough and tumble act. Tell us about it. What do we know about this act that he did with his parents? I mean, this was a really fascinating part of the book to research, because, of course, there's no record of this act. Film existed at the time that they were doing the three keatons slapstick act, but the act was never filmed, just like most fragile acts of the time were never recorded on film. And so it's only through buster's way of telling stories about it and contemporary reviews of people who saw it at the time and really just the lore that was passed down about it that anybody knows what that act was. But as you sort of hear in his very laconic explanation of it there, what the act essentially was was this act about a child sassing his father. It was about the father son relationship, and Joe Keaton buster's dad would play the role of this loving father who was going to teach the audience about parenting, but it was all kind of an ironic joke because behind him, you would see buster doing some kind of mischief on the stage where he was preparing to attack his father in some way. And then this would all resolve in his father learning about the deception and hurling buster into the backdrop into the wings into the audience or the orchestra pit occasionally. It really was known as one of the most violent acts in vaudeville. And that was what people loved about it. That was, along with the great acrobat, the tricks that the buster could do, there was just the danger that something might happen to this small child who seemed to be indestructible. And so one of the things I wanted to trace was how you really see that exact same dynamic happening in every Buster Keaton movie. It's almost as if the sensation that he wants to evoke in his audiences. How could he do that and live? But be laughing at the same time as they're gasping over the danger. Right. The dead would be talking while buster is behind them. There'd be a basketball on a rope that he would be spinning in a circle getting closer and closer to his dad's head. And then what his dad would toss him explain the suitcase handle sewn into buster's code. That's a lovely little guy. Yes, that's nice. That was something when he was smaller. The basketball actually was something that evolved later in their act to investor was too big to throw. In the teenage buster had to figure out some way to torment his father, and that act with the basketball also gets brought up in some movies later. But yes, when he was a very small child, his mother sowed a suitcase handle into the back of his costume, his little performing jacket so that his father could more easily grasp him and hurl him into whatever solid object he felt like throwing him at. Right. Did critics take notice of the kid the young Keaton as the act developed? Absolutely..

Maybe a little bit more like seventeen million dollars a year and they compared him to michael brantley who is displaying for the astros. Two year. Thirty two million dollar deal. What do you think. I think that he can get much more than two years and thirty million dollars. And here's what yes you're somewhat limited in what he can do. He's not gonna add much value on defense. He's not going to add much value as a base runner but he is legit impact middle order bat. Bus they're playing half states san francisco. He slugging nearly six hundred. This season there or a handful of american league teams. We can think of her head that could use a left handed. Impact bat in the middle of their lineup. Perhaps the deal might be shorter but if the deal is for two or three years i think he is likely to to approach or even surpass twenty million dollars a year. He's been that good. And it's now been two plus these and as you and i talked about the giants have a ton of payroll flexibility. Going forward I never forget. How in two thousand..

But i'm going to be kicking myself out so we spent a lot of time in the last month ranking value right picking. Mvp's picking cy young awards. What how would you rank These lousy picks me picking angel to make the playoffs or you not putting the raising to play at reaches a worst pick. The the raise is the worst thick and the reason ford is because like i raise the guy. I loved the analytics. I love their process. Like i like the to me like the the beacon. Top of the hill in terms of franchises across all sports the angels would have made the playoffs. That trout didn't hurt himself. We all believe that. Until the day that i die that he would have added another six winston their legend this year and minimum. They'd be right in the middle of it. You obviously didn't see that coming. He has not missed much time throughout his career. So i mean to me like you're pick Was controlled only by that one thing. My take was just a total oversight in an area in which. I usually don't miss so i think i'm i'm in worse shape and you want that when you agree. Yes but i need you to say. I need okay now that we have thin now that we've established that neither you nor i have any i'm gonna ask you for you. What the american league wildcard. Standings will look like on monday morning. Giving prediction retired. Forget the would agree. They're pretty much out of it at this point The four teams yankees red sox mariners. And jay's i think the yankees are going to wind up at the number one spot in the american league wild-card in part because the pitching staff which has been underrated. All season continues to perform you noted on twitter over the weekend. The lead the american league in Era which is something that i totally overlooked much of the season and right now stanton. Judger has a firecracker right. There's those two guys are good enough to swing games all by themselves despite the challenging schedule this week i think they're gonna be able to maintain their lead there and i'm going to stick with the with the with the socks. The red sox finishing number two in that area because of their schedule surely lost game one to baltimore but i think over the last five games in their season. They're going to win at least four of them. I guess that the yankees buried the james winning one of the next two games and his hot as the mariners are coming on and as good of a story as that is. I just have to see it to believe it. And i know there are fans are gonna come yelling at us. If and when they wind up making the playoffs they have would've unquantifiable winning factor. You know that's very difficult for people like me who believe the numbers to be able to put their finger on but they can do it. But i'm gonna say yankees and red sox which really set up for an awesome wildcard gigs. The bronx Give me the definitive. Mvp case for bryce harper. Well i think we often overuse the saying that a hitter. Terry's his lineup and baseball. Obviously one player can only do so much. But i don't think it's a stretch to say so for. Bryce harper the phillies at least in the second half of the season. Buster here the numbers. So since the all-star break the phillies are five games over five hundred in harper owns an north of twelve hundred over that span. Twelve hundred twelve eleven to be exact collective opium of all of his teammates the rest of the phillies during that time. Buster is six ninety. Three in other words phillies diamondbacks a team. That has lost a hundred and seven games since the all break plus. Bryce harper lastly perhaps not surprisingly or pressing a lower percentage of pitches ministries have been any national league hitter. Not of your bias. During that time and when he has been challenged his own he's collected one hundred forty two total bases on one hundred..

You know the best team in the american league team that i've been singing praises towards all season long for some reason. I guess back then. I was thinking to myself. Well did lose charlie morton and you know they did lose blake snow and really hard to patch together over a full one hundred sixty eight do game season after a sixty game season well. They proved me wrong. Once again. it through everyone wrong.

"In that bullpen constructed out of nowhere paul seawall and drew second rider and looking casey sadler his ear as under one. They all pitch last night. They all did the job. They rallied from a one. Oh deficit they win. It forty two mitch. Canada homers look at their feeling that right. Now that's for sure. They've won eleven in a row against the as they still need a little help but a let's go orioles. I think i saw on the pitching niches twitter. Feed this morning. That casey sadler is twenty. Four consecutive scoreless appearances. That's pretty remarkable. Yeah yeah he's really morphed into one of the key set up guys you know. Seawall was getting a lot of attention early on. But yet casey sadler i mean guy him off waivers from the cubs last year secret weapon. That will then. He's not a big name but giancarlo stanton is a big name in. Aaron judge is a big name and watching that last night. Maybe think back to the time when the yankees got stanton. I was frothing about how much fun it'd be watched hundred be to watch those two guys hitting back to back and it feels like for one of the first times that's truly manifesting with what these two guys are doing down. The stretch judges had a great season because he stayed on. The field stands had a great season because he stayed on the field his fifth career. Thirty five home run seasons. It's tied for third most among active players. Only our pools nelson cruz have more and you can just see as these guys are playing. I mean that homerun lastly hit off the jase. Last night was absurd as it. Just kind of flicks. The ball hooks it and it reminded me and goes in well over the fence and leftfielder reminded me of a conversation. That i had with aaron boone over the weekend and we tease said he and marcus thames. At least once a night they see stat. Do something like nobody else can do that with that kind of strength. Yeah what a weird swing. I reminded me of like the big beefy weightlifters who play softball who've never played baseball. And they usually hit pop flies to third base but every now and then be connected goes five hundred fee. That was kind of that. Stanton swing last night. Yeah yankees. they're now nine and one this year. When stanton judge homer the only loss was that field of dreams aid that we remember so well judge. He's been consistent and terrific all season stanton. This is the most locked in. He's look since he joined the yankees so they got a little breathing room now. That wildcard grace still got to against toronto and three against tampa not shirt thing just yet but they look good yeah the last yankees player according to the stats and info package. We got overnight with thirteen. Rbi in a four game span like stanton has was alfonso soriano in two thousand and thirteen and and part of the fun of this time of year is how much it feels like momentum swings from game to game if the yankees went today and they've got They've got garrett cole on the mound against jose burritos. They win today. Dave is just about over like after all the talk of disaster that we had in less than a week's time they will have essentially put themselves into the postseason. Yeah has any team had more of a roller coaster than the yankees this year. Like the cardinals were just flat. And that boom you know. that's you know. Most teams are pretty evenly. The playoff teams but the yankees. They've got up and down so much all season. I watched them a lot living here in connecticut. It's felt like a roller coaster. That's for sure. But they're hitting their stride at the right time and i'm with you. They win tonight. That really puts toronto and a in a big big hole and sets the keys up. Plus you gotta remember. They wanna avoid having to use gear coal and either tiebreaker game..

"Dave you ready to go. Let's do a buster. Alright shame shame lot. Shame for me day am saying that the angels. We're going to win. The american league west actually contended for that for about twelve hours. I think i think they had a chance. They may have been eliminated some time. Back in april They were effectively dismissed a longtime ago without a doubt. That was my worst prediction. What about you. I think mine might be a little worse. I was proud of myself last year when i predicted. Dodgers raise world series. But this year i had dodgers versus the twins. Yeah sitting there. With how many games under five hundred. I don't even wanna look so they're worse than the angels. I know that that did not work out. I'm not going to disagree with you. Oh man i if it was if it was easy to predict things what would be the fun of the regular season. So yeah you gotta give me fifty hail marys for that one. Okay all right let's Let's get to the races that are going on so much fun now to turn on baseball at night because it just feels like every inning every plate appearances potentially consequential but it's amazing that with five days of a regular season scheduled to go. The national league is just about close down right. Yeah i think the phillies needed the sweet this series against the braves because the braves finish up against the mets. I can't imagine the mets are gonna be. You know to hyped up for that season and need series so must win game for the phillies zack. Wheeler pits grade again. But charlie morton men. He looked like playoff. Charlie morton last night seven shutout needs so. Yeah three and a half now for the braves that syria that that race. Just about over and the cardinals absurd. It's absurd how well they're playing down the stretch. They just every night they keep on winning. But i remember when the indians had their long Winning streak in september but was two thousand seventeen and having conversations with people in the organization who are kinda like whispering yet. Let let's get this over with. Because of the energy expended on the winning streak versus preparing for the postseason and i gotta believe that there people within the cardinals clubhouse who while they loved the winning streak they kinda like to start to focus on the postseason now. Did they clinched. Yeah that's a really good point. I looked this up the other day. The our our stance crew that did this the four longest winning streaks since expansion so going back to nineteen sixty one. All four of these leaked into september. Who got the cardinals. The indians started at the end of august. The two thousand two moneyball as we saw this streak in the movie that was august in september. And then the seventy seven royals was in september all sixteen or longer i think and none of them made the world series so it small sample size four teams but yeah the momentum erade it doesn't mean a whole lot but it can drain a team and it reminds me a little bit of the old one mariners who there wasn't a winning streak but when they were pushing with one sixteen they extended so much energy trying to tie that record for most wins that they were a little spent by the time. The postseason came around. So yeah the cardinals right now you know they clinched so maybe they'll arrest them there. Relievers rests of their position players. Now that they know they're in for sure speaking of the mariners. You look at the standings in the american league today and they are breathing. Down the necks of the red sox. They have passed. The blue jays The mariners like your special project. So i'm gonna let you talk about that team because they look to read the great now. Yeah i know you talked a little bit about they mr day but obviously i've been watching them a lot lately and no blue jays fans must be tearing their hair out looking at the fact that toronto plus one sixty seven of the season run differential mariners minus fifty buster. I know all the same attrition c- clutch does not exist right but this team at least for one year that has been their defining characteristic clutch whether it's hitting they don't score lot runs but they score when they have opportunities.

"To the cogs. We can't take our eyes off the cubs because they have four potential free agents after the season who could be difference makers for other genes when you look at bryant rizzo by as an craig kimbrel. How many of them go. What's your best gas on. How much of a player. The cubs are especially for those four guys at the trade debt. I don't know if you if i were running the team or you running the team. I don't know how you would approach it. I would approach. I fight looking looking in my own clubhouse and saying if we're going to be competitive and and again i don't know what lawyers plan is. I don't know what the ricketts plan is as far as being a championship caliber team and win. Matt is on their clock. But the first question i would ask about ownership and to myself is. When do we want to be a great team again. And if it's in twenty twenty three or twenty four will who is going to be a part of that and to me. It feels like any one of them could be but i would probably list buyers and bryant as the first two guys that i'd like to be a part of that because of where they're at in their careers and their ages And then if anthony rizzo we can we can trade. We have the ability because the operative two words are free agent. We have the ability if we decide research number three on that list and we're able to be signed by says and bryant before the trade deadline then great then we'll bring anthony rizzo back so i would look at my own organization. How important is it for us to have off the air bias. Or chris bryan or any of them and try to resign them but if not i could trade all of them and then bring them back as free agents after the year again. I'm a little confused by teams that that go with two things that confuse me tim With regards to baseball as you know. I get confused by a lot of things out but the two things you can seize. the about. Baseball are one where sellers. But we're not really going to sell players. Even though they're free agents we can always resign them that that confuses me so to limit yourself or does just cut it off at we'll trade we'll trade little trade bryant and resolve. We're gonna keep by as when you could trade by as and you could think about it. You could trade those three guys and get. I don't know let's just say you hit on four of the six guys you get back and deals and then you bring tool them if not all three of them back. How much better are you in. Twenty twenty three or twenty twenty two. So you're better. So i don't get that the other thing i don't quite get is when we talk about teams protecting prospects. It always suggested to me that if we if were unwilling to trade our our prospects it kind of tells everybody else that we don't have a great deal of faith in our ability to go get more of them and the one thing that's always available our prospects. There are drafts. If you're willing to take a few steps back you have a chance to hit on a prospect again. I never quite understood a team saying we're not gonna we're not gonna part with our top prospects. You didn't have them three or four years ago. You do now. You can do that again. That's what makes your front office you're scouting department your analytics department really good. Have faith in your own system to find those those players again as opposed to holding onto them and either they never develop or you're stuck with one or two of them and your franchise never gets better so those two things confused hell out of me and now my day is going to be ruined because i'm going to be thinking about that problem. I last grabbing the red sox. We did their game against the blue jays. The other night they won another comeback. Victory was so impressive. I really liked the look at team. Are pal buster. Only who runs this podcast at on monday. He thinks results going to the red sox. What do you think the red sox will do to improve that club and not only try to win the division but be a real real player in october. Yeah i go. I go back and forth on it. Although i i think i'm landing in the place of they will do something and they will do something significant because i just feel like high in bloom has been in a sense like andrew friedman of course you come from the organization in tampa which doesn't unbelievable job of maximizing players abilities and you find guys that sped in a sense. Fill out the jigsaw puzzle. And when i look at the raise. I look at look at look at a team. That has all good players. Like there's just there's very few holes on it. At least the way they play and win and you realize like they are. They're all really good. They don't have those holes that other teams even good ones seemed to have you get the eight nine spot batting order. You you look around the infield can say yes not so good like they're just solid everywhere but you come from an organization that you're accustomed to to filling in with really good versus great and look what happened in los angeles with some of the folks. They went out to get high and has the money to play with. I think the team has exceeded what he thought they. Were going to be. This season and whether it is a rizzo or a bryant or even a max scherzer I do think that they are going to be in those conversations with these other teams because it is easy to sit there. And think you know if they add. Let's just say max scherzer. I haven't seen him come out and say like it has other teams. I'm not interested in going there. But let's say they add him. And you're getting chris sale back and you have you have native all the you have eduardo. Rodriguez you have matt barnes and it really good bullpen. Don't you right away. Think that they are a team to beat in the american league with dramatic moves like that swimming. You're not giving up on of your core players It's easy given where they are to think that if you go out and get anthony rizzo you are now able to really compete with the astros and the white sox in the american league likes you put yourself in the position to be one big acquisition away from being a favourite if not co in the american league so i kind of am leaning towards them doing something significant and that also has to do with the rays who are in that class having done something very significant than getting nelson cruz. So i i i've moved to. I don't think this is a stand pat. I don't think it's hey we're we're out kicking our coverage here but we're gonna. We're gonna stay on plan. I think they can stay on plan. Make a big move and then if they chose to sign that player for the next year they do it if not they let him go and they they carry on but i i moved towards. I think they're gonna make a big move all right. Well thanks for joining us today. Ravi we ruined your day..

"Host in the business and a great play by play guy. Raviol- eduardo perez. And i will be doing. The yankees raised game tonight from the tribe. Can't wait revenues. Just jump right into the trade. From the overnight between the astros and the mariners. I am still. I must say a little confused. Seattle had won four games in a row ten atta fourteen. They were charging look like they had a shot at least to make the playoffs for the first time since two thousand one and they traded their closer kendall grave men who has zero point. Eight two era to houston. Did it confused you at all or do you understand exactly what this may. I think anytime somebody of that quality gets traded especially for teams in the race. It's a little bit confusing. But i think that would also suggest that we have the ability to get inside the mind of jerry dipoto which. I don't think anybody as the ability to do and You know after he then went out and traded for anderson. He kinda tried to explain it and thinks that this is a fifth starter that we needed and we can deal with bullpen. And again i think a lot of these situations especially pre-trade deadline beats lead to other things that they already are either aware of or have in their own mind as the ability to do With that said with regards to closures as unique as they are and as good a season as he was having. I personally have always thought that. Barring somebody named mariano rivera. John wetland in his heyday that you can find people to do that. It's not easy and clearly. There are some who are better than others at it but he may have the idea or. Es got service that we have somebody who can fill that role and maybe there was a for as great as he was. Maybe there's a hesitancy in them to believe that britain was the guy in a race. I just think there's more moves for jerry and the mariners that before we just look at that one. We have to kind of wait for the whole picture instead of just the piece of the puzzle. You've been all over the astros for the last month telling us they're going to be a top three team in the big leagues before you know it and they're pretty darn close. I mean the the one issue that dusty baker is told us about several times in the game we do their bullpen their bullpen. Better correct without question that no doubt about it and dusty has been around baseball and it manager role at play a role to know in his mind. There may not be more valuable asset. Ben somebody in when elite going into the ninth inning. We're going to win the game. And he has the best. That's still think about it. That's a terrible feeling. That's that's tight rope walking without a net underneath when you go into the ninth inning and you have a guy you believe. Who's going to win all the time. You feel a lot more confident. Think about last night. In the yankee game The you know. There's there's a little concern about aroldis. Chapman being able to close game so far. Aaron boone and yankee fans you go into that ninth inning. He comes out and all of a sudden you got first and third nelson bruises coming up the here. We go again feeling. It's the worst feeling that you can have as a team and as a manager. And i'm sure in as you said speaking to dusty. He's tired of that feeling now. We'll see if graven can close games for them consistently and not feeling begins to dissipate. It'd be a wonderful thing not to have to worry about that because as you said. And they've had the best record in the american league here now for a few weeks or at least right there with the red sox that we don't have to worry so much about that anymore. You know we did the red sox the other night you know this. That's one of the biggest changes for boston this year. Beyond the obvious. Alex cora return and and bogart's and jd and others having much better seasons than they did. Matt barnes has become as good a closed or is there is in the american league and it was i. I remember a couple years ago. When george springer was on the astros in matt barnes was pitching for the red sox. You worried a lot. More about matt barnes than you did the other night and you could see in his approach and the team's approach games over right now right now when matt barnes comes in. That's a huge huge deal for that team. That's i think. What dusty and the astros are looking for. Right serambi onto the yankees. They traded to relievers yesterday. Justin wilson lewis sessa. Chewed the reds. But i think this is a sign that they're they're gearing up to make a major trade or some sort of trae to improve their bullpen and make their team better. 'cause they're only two and a half games out of the wild card. Where are you on the yankees and what they should do at the trading deadline. It's very easy to to watch them. and put yourself in the shoes of brian cashman and thanked. We have no other choice. I mean to me if they concede which i know. They're not doing but if they did. I wouldn't be sure what. The future is of brian. cashman or aaron boone. This is a team. Obviously that was built to win and spite of being underneath the tax threshold. That's the expectation. And after not winning a world series since two thousand nine you gave garrett cole all that money that's what we are expected to do You know the ceferino injury has really hurt them. I know we've been we've been fixed in stars and when he's coming back But i i would assume and understand from people in the organization. That's exactly what they expect to do is to compete and again as we'll discuss moving into september. The goal is to get into the tournament and the tournament is the playoffs. Get us into the tournament. And let's see what happens. And the yankees are certainly in a position with gerry cole. At the top and a lineup. That when they're right is formidable as any in the league then they're gonna go for it. I don't think they have a choice. So i do think this sets them up. They have about three four billion dollars on On the tax threshold in a decision to get rid of those two guys in a one point. Justin wilson was a was a really good reliever and exchange of scenery for him. Might help. but i don't think there's any question for aaron boone and brian cashman and the rest of those people. They really believe in themselves. Look last night. Dj lemay who came up with a second base and actually went the other way and it was a single and a you felt like you were right back to two thousand. Nineteen again okay. That's that's what he does. He just hasn't done it a lot this year..

Two to one and if anyone asks one more time are the giants for real. Of course they are. They're going to the playoffs. And now you have to give them every chance in the world to win that division because of the way they pitch and the way they hit the ball out of the ballpark. Okay there were some great important games last night. Let's get rate to the highlights. The giants beat the dodgers two-to-one buster posey's scored the go ahead run on an error. By cody bellinger.
