Make Yourself Listen to Make Him Watch It!
Our pal Cinco Paul — screenwriter, songwriter, Marx Brothers Council Podcast guest — has an excellent podcast of his own. To provide a contrast with that excellence, he invited us on!
Episode 35: This Magnificent Chest

Bonus Minicast: Adamson in Casablanca
For our recent Night in Casablanca episode, we'd intended to include a segment with Joe Adamson. But the conversation with Joe was rich enough to be an episode all its own.
Episode 33: The Boys Are Back in Town
Our Night in Casablanca deep dive is a packed episode, featuring not only the second appearance of Scott Alexander, but Les Marsden himself lending his voice to some deleted scene recreations.
Episode 32: I Don't Think This Damn Thing is Safe
The last significant work by Groucho Marx as a performer was An Evening With Groucho -- which is the title of his 1972 concert, and the resulting LP.
Episode 31: Our BRAIN DONORS Special
Our first episode of 2021 is our best episode of the year thus far! In addition to your faithful co-hosts, it features a couple of genuine comedy legends, and a discussion of the film the Marx Brothers would have made if they had made this film.
Episode 30: K&R vs K&R
Actor/writer Nick Santa Maria returns for an examination of the Marxes’ two principal writing teams, George S. Kaufman & Morrie Ryskind, and Bert Kalmar & Harry Ruby.
Episode 29: Make That Three Hard Boiled Eggs
Episode 29 is a big one, folks, in which we discuss one of the Marx Brothers' greatest films with a gifted photographer and designer, an accomplished novelist, a fine musician, Groucho's grandson for cryin' out loud, and Gus Kahn's grandson at the same time -- with only one guest!
Episode 28: Flywheel, Shyster, and Tefteller
It's always a treat to speak with someone who knew Groucho Marx in real life -- even more so if that person is a good storyteller. And if that person has also dedicated a lifetime to the preservation of rare Marx Brothers performances, then you must be speaking with John Tefteller.
