Fun episode about a completely great movie.  Just wanted to mention a brief thing about the music.  This movie was indeed so much the driving force behind a rediscovery of ragtime that people forget that the music is not at all contemporaneous with the period of the film.  As mentioned, Scott Joplin died in 1917, and his first big ragtime hits were around the turn of the century.  In other words, that music is actually 20-30 years out of date. 

So, to refine the analogy that Mike made at the beginning of the episode, it's as if somebody now, today, made a film about the early 1970's  - say a bunch of ex-hippies dealing with "the dream is over", the failure of the summer of love, etc.  - and the music was entirely doo-wop, and that was the catalyst for a big top-40 doo-wop revival.  I think my head would explode if that happened.

God I want that version of Doctor Who so badly.

"amazing and broken", you say?  Sounds like a trip to my local public library is in order (and it's one of the last Nathan Fillion film appearances I still haven't seen).
