The Marx Brothers Council Podcast
29 "Make That Three Hard Boiled Eggs” ("A Night at the Opera" Deep Dive featuring Andy Marx)
In our NEW longest episode yet, we welcome Groucho’s grandson, Andy Marx, for a deep dive into “A Night at the Opera”, and a whole lot more…
Andy recalls growing up with Groucho during the time he went from being a game show host to a legend. We learn about his curious connection to rock stars and speculate on his politics. We also hear about Andy’s other famous grandfather.
Finally (at 28:40), we turn our attention to what most Marx fans agree is their first film for MGM. We try and make sense out of why this reinvention of the team works so well…all while doing the unbearable nitpicking we have become famous for!
Name-checked in this episode: Elton John, Richard Nixon, Scott Alexander
