Elephant in My Pajamas: The Marx Brothers on Film, Part I (with Josh Cohen)


Listen Later

This week, we're dialing back the clock to the original masters of controlled cinematic anarchy with a three-part deep dive into the Marx Brothers!

So we must start at the very beginning with their first four films including "The Cocoanuts", "Animal Crackers" and "Monkey Business". It’s a tale that involves a thumb in the eye of high society, the brilliance of Margaret Dumont, direct translations of Broadway revues, and a how-to manual for spurning authority.

Plus, Josh Cohen from "Daleks Aren't Robots?!" joins your wonky yet affable host for a discussion of an early Marx masterpiece, "Horse Feathers".

This Week's Recommendation(s): “Model Shop" (1969)
