Jackie and Greg take on Erich von Stroheim's partly-lost silent epic GREED from 1924. Topics of discussion include the film's grim subject material, von Stroheim as a liar and mythmaker, the episodic structure, and whether the 4-hour reconstructed version should be considered the definitive version of the film or not.
