About this Episode
100 years makes a world of difference, especially when it comes to film. But the more things change, the more they stay the same, and even in the century since its release you can still see and feel the macabre influence of Robert Wiene's 1920 classic of the silent era, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. When people talk about German Expressionism in film, this is the movie they're talking about. Its DNA appears in everything - from Citizen Kane to Edward Scissorhands, from Dr. Seuss to Rob Zombie - and after years of hearing and reading about its impact on so many artists, Matt and Tony are happy to finally cross this one off their lists.
