  • Thank you

    I’m a 35 year old guy that lives in Scotland, I loved The Marx brothers because my grandad loved them, they are like a drug addiction of pure nostalgia & love for me.

    I never thought I would find people that loved them like me, not only have I found that, in the Facebook & this awesome podcast.

    The knowledge they have of the Marx brothers is stunning, I wish my grandad was still here.

    Much love

  • Essential listening and also a lot of fun

    It’s definitely a podcast for true Marx Brothers fans. When they do a deep dive, it is a DEEP dive. But always with a great sense of fun. They are scholars, yes, to one degree or another, but at heart they are fans. Tonight I am going to light a candle to St. Jude, patron saint of lost causes, in hopes they will finally discover who the manicurist was.
