Something unexpected about getting into older movies is having to wait for them. There are still some I'm waiting for Blu-ray releases to even watch for the first time. So, I'm thrilled that another Marx Brothers movie, At the Circus, is coming soon. This one's from 1939.

ANIMAL CRACKERS is still, in my opinion, a masterpiece. letterboxd.com/andrewmoxon/...

A ★★★★★ review of Animal Crackers (1930)

One of the most complete Marx flicks; what else is there to say? One thing, I guess, which is that I watched this 7,000 times as a kid but it was a taped version that ends with about 20 minutes to go,...

Chico Marx of the Marx Brothers.

Yes, he was Jewish and not Italian, that's the joke.

#MovieReview for A Night at the Opera (1935):

A fun adventure overseas with clever dialogue, fantastic slapstick, and some impressive stunts. I've also come to appreciate the musical interludes in these films.
The contract and stateroom scenes are solid gold and worth the price of admission alone!

Movie poster for the Marx Brothers' A Night at the Opera:
Cartoon renditions of the Marx Brothers, Groucho, Chico, and Harpo, sit in a golden balcony seat overlooking two actors kissing. There's a tagline literally hanging from their outlook, "Don't miss it! The funniest picture ever made!"

One morning, I shot an elephant in my pajamas...

How he got into my pajamas, I don't know.

Of course, the best thing about devoting a podcast episode to some of the Marx Brothers’ radio appearances is that you can play the clips. Which means that our guests for this episode are the Marx Brothers themselves.

A hundred years ago The Marx Brothers were having their first phenomenal success.

Before the movies, TV and radio there was The Stage.

Two months ago, I bought The Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection from 2nd & Charles since I’ve been wanting to see some of the other films that the Marx Brothers made. Next up is their second movie.
