44 “Double Disappointment” featuring Anthony Strand
The Marx Brothers Council Podcast - A podcast by Matthew Coniam, Noah Diamond, Bob Gassel
We are joined by self-proclaimed Muppet geek and co-host of the “Movin’ Right Along” podcast, Anthony Strand, for a look at two of Groucho’s solo efforts, “Double Dynamite” and “A Girl in Every Port. Despite the episode’s title, we think these films are just fine…where else can you see the world’s greatest comedian and the world’s greatest singer do a duet on a treadmill, or watch the dad from “Hazel” cheat on the sister of Groucho’s future wife. Along the way, we dump on Jane Russell, exalt Marie Wilson, and somehow claim Frank Sinatra is miscast as a character who’s described as looking like Frank Sinatra. So, if you want to learn who ‘Icy Knockers’ is, or the only performer besides Groucho to appear in both films, join us…you’re as sick as we are.
