I had a lot of fun talking to the Marx Brothers Council podcasters about getting kissed by Groucho Marx, having dinner with Gummo, and literally falling out of my chair with astonished laughter the first time I saw “A Night at the Opera.”

All fans of classic films and film comedy will appreciate The Marx Brothers Council, an outstanding podcast devoted to Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and sometimes Zeppo Marx. A great episode to begin with is this one, including a fascinating interview with Hanna Mira, who shows Marx Brothers and other classic films to her students at a juvenile detention facility. The old black and white films from the era of these boys’ great-grandfathers could hardly be more distant from their experience, and yet they love them. She tells their stories with such empathy, humanity, and enthusiasm we almost wish we could be in her classroom.

Hurray for TCM for a full day of Marx Brothers! Tune in to put 2011 in context with the riotous anarchy of Groucho, Chico, and Harpo in “Duck Soup,” “Night at the Opera,” “Day at the Races,” “At the Circus,” “Animal Crackers,” “Horse Feathers,” “Monkey Business,” and more!
