Hollywood’s humble beginnings gave way to the Silent Film Era - a time when the world became obsessed with movie stars without ever hearing their voices. Natalya shares with Kelsey why feature films became the norm, how they influenced the birth of the studio system, how growing scandal in Hollywood led to censoring in films, and why many films of this era are still relevant today. *A portion of this episode involves the topic of sexual assault. A content warning will be announced before the discussion so that listeners may skip this section if they wish.
