On today’s episode, Summer of 70s comes to a close with one of the most-classic comedies of all-time.  The Jerk was the ninth-highest grossing movie in the US in 1979.   It was also the first starring role and producing debut of Steve Martin.  Per the Gerret Layoff Confused Breakfast actor database, it is the fifth Steve Martin appearance on this podcast.   Apparently it was Stanley Kubrick’s favorite comedy.  Join us as we break it down- scene by scene!
