PATRICK VASEY
About this episode

Episode 21, sees Patrick offer a Laurel and Hardy handshake to returning guest and Hal Roach Studios expert, Richard W. Bann. This episode continues the discussion that Patrick had with Randy Skretvedt in Episode 20 about Stan and Babe’s 1928 silent short ‘Early to Bed’.

As Randy didn’t much care for this classic yet divisive short, Patrick invites ‘Early to Bed’ fan, Richard Bann to join him on the Podcast to explain just what he likes about the film.

As usual, listeners can expect another episode bursting with information and once again Richard draws on his wealth of first-hand accounts from Hal Roach Studios alumni.
