Get ready for a jam packed episode on the origin of action cinema as Pod Hard panelists Jonas Högberg & Anders Hultqvist tear into the 1910s.

People are now truly getting the hang of things like editing, pacing, set building and camera placements - and are doing crazy ass stunts. Especially women!

The trains are out of control but pioneering stunt bad asses Helen Holmes, Pearl White, Anna Q Nilsson and Gene Gauntier know how to quickly adapt to dangerous situations.

Comedian legends Roscoe Arbuckle, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd throw people out of frame, fall on their asses and runs around in a Bugs Bunny-instilled frenzy.

And charmer/parkour-king/heavy hitter-brawler Douglas Fairbanks is setting a bar that will undoubtedly inflict action heroes of today with altitude sickness.

Learn about the beginnings of animation and green screen, "cinema jockeys" and pie in the face-shtick, breaking the fourth wall-shenanigans and parallell editing-mastery and much much more.

Oh, and there's talk about a movie that is essentialy "Jackie Chan meets Luis Buñuel". You need this episode of Pod Hard in your life. Get in!
