Join us for a captivating journey as we commemorate the 100th anniversary of Warner Brothers with authors and Hollywood historians, Chris Yogerst and Alan K. Rode. In this special episode, we bring to light the tumultuous, yet triumphant saga of the Warner Brothers, pulled straight from the pages of Chris’s recent book, " The Warner Brothers."
Our conversation zeros in on the impact the Warner Brothers had on the film industry, the Wall Street influence Harry Warner introduced, and their unrelenting determination to keep their company amidst fierce corporate competition. We delve into their belief in using film as an instrument for education and change, and how this ethos was embedded in their productions. From exploring their approach to realism in films to the Warner Brothers' revolutionary advancements in sound technology, we take you behind the scenes of some of Hollywood's most impactful moments.
As we reach the grand finale of our episode, we reflect on the legacy of the Warner Brothers, the tragic story of Sam Warner, and the significant role he played in the evolution of cinematic sound technology. We also touch upon the family dynamics that shaped their legacy, including the heartbreaking relationship between Jack Warner and his son, and the internal politics within the studio. We invite you to experience the captivating history of Warner Brothers on a personal level, a narrative that is intrinsically woven into the fabric of America's 20th century.
