The Bro talk resumes… and by that of course it means Zach welcomes back Tyler Maybee (Surrounded by A**holes, The Disney YBR Duology) for the continued chatter about Groucho, Chico, Harpo and….. wait… NO ZEPPO?!?!?!?
That’s right, it’s a deep dive into the Marx Brothers time under Irving Thalberg and their excursion to RKO.
Join the boys as they unravel the production triumphs and stumbles through A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (1935), A DAY AT THE RACES (1937), and ROOM SERVICE (1938).
You’ll learn such wonderful facts about film history, reckon with problematic elements of the past, and you will find the answers to the important questions in life like : Can one sleep on their stomach with such big buttons on their pajamas? Is it 2 or 12 Hard Boiled Eggs? And the All important question: IS THERE A SANITY CLAUSE?!?!
