Bader (author of Four of the Three Musketeers: The Marx Brothers on Stage), Robert Weide (producer of Marx Brothers in a Nutshell) and Joseph Adamson (author of Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo: A History of the Marx Brothers and a Satire on the Rest of the World).Rob St. Mary and Jon Cross join Mike to discuss Duck Soup and the Marx Brothers. Learn more about your ad choices.
