MBCP episode 86 features listeners' commentary on Duck Soup, which most fans agree was released in 1933. As usual, the thoughtful insights of our listeners have prompted discussions of this very familiar film from new and intriguing angles.

Of course, the best thing about devoting a podcast episode to some of the Marx Brothers’ radio appearances is that you can play the clips. Which means that our guests for this episode are the Marx Brothers themselves.
