Everyone’s a comedian…or are they? In the latest episode of Derailed Trains of Thought (your one and only (please?) storytelling podcast), Tim and Nick tackle the hard work of dissecting what makes the audience laugh. (It’s a function of the lungs and\/or stomach in 86.15% of cases.)<\/p>\n
In the second half, we examine the science fiction German silent film “Metropolis” in Cinema Selections, proving that 80-year-old movies are still cool.<\/p>\n
So take a listen and learn that the mediator between the head and the hands is the funny bone!*<\/p>\n
*Obtuse joke to be found funny only after listening to the entire podcast. Maybe.<\/p>\n
