Episode 31 completes our deep dive into Stan and Babe's 1929 masterpiece, Big Business. On the previous show, Episode 30, Randy Skretvedt and I discussed the film and also covered the mythology surrounding a couple of famous (or infamous) legends connected to the production - primarily Hal Roach's much-related tale that the wrong house was destroyed in error. Randy sided with Stan Laurel and thought that Hal's story was "a load of baloney". So, in this episode, I'm delighted to welcome back film historian and expert on the Hal Roach Studios, Richard W. Bann. Richard covers some little-known facts about Big Business, as well as laying out all the facts surrounding the 'wrong house' story. With both sides at our disposal, can we finally put this argument to bed once and for all?

In a bumper Episode 24, the Podcast has reached a pivotal moment in Laurel and Hardyâs cinematic history. Todayâs film in focus, Habeas Corpus was not only the boysâ first out-and-out scare-comedy, but it was also the moment Stan and Babe took their first steps toward the talkies.
Joining Patrick on this deep-dive into Habeas Corpus is first-time guest and scare-comedy expert, Paul Castiglia. Paul discusses the genesis of the comedy horror film, discusses his Laurel and Hardy backstory and answers the infamous Atoll Question.
In addition, Patrick also welcomes regular Laurel and Hardy author and expert, Randy Skretvedt to take a close look at the filmâs synchronised music and effects track.
If you like your Podcasts packed full of interesting information, enjoyable conversation, movie clips and much more besides, then youâll love Episode 24.
