Description

A holiday extravaganza because we say it is!

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. We compare their styles and strengths, and go off on numerous unrelated tangents. But first, we detour to Kalmar & Ruby’s original vision for the finale of “A Night at the Opera”, featuring another performance by The Not Ready For Online Players...augmented by Kathy Biehl and Pete Lutz.

Name-checked in this episode: Parkyakarkus, Carroll O’Connor (twice), Paul Harvey

WARNING: Due to Matthew’s overly-festive mood, this episode contains a moment of adult language.

An insightful but not too serious look at the Marx Brothers films, careers, and lives from some guys who need to get out more. Hosted by Matthew Coniam ("The Annotated Marx Brothers", "That's Me, Groucho!"), Noah Diamond ("Gimme a Thrill: The Story of I'll Say She Is") and Bob Gassel (he'll write a book someday...or perhaps read one).
