I Can't Eat My Friends! - Week of 11/11/20

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of two films by the Marx Brothers, Animal Crackers (1930) and A Night at the Opera (1935). If you need a break from the madness that is 2020, you can't go wrong with any of their movies. We discuss the chaos that was the Marx brothers, their Vaudeville background, stealing from the best, singing in movies, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.

 

Announcements:

We found a way to do our monthly meetups - on Discord! Come hang out with us in the voice channel on the 4th Saturday of the month; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

We're super excited to announce our partnership with ComicBooks For Kids. Details on the website (and you should be listening to hear more, too 🙂)

 

What we're up to this week:

Not a great week, a cute grandbaby story, Baby Shark, Barney, the Friday song from a few years back, torturing our children (and she didn't have much to talk about...), the Food Network streaming service, mainlining Good Eats, learning to cook, Cutthroat Kitchen, good and evil of Alton Brown, the Monty Python Election Night sketch, watched our movies, we watched Schlock on Discord on Saturday, watching M*A*S*H streaming, stressful week otherwise
