Official description: “30 Rock, Only Murders in the Building, 2 Broke Girls, The West Wing…this is a minuscule sampling of series directed by our guest, director/actor/producer Don Scardino, a rabid Marx Brothers fan since the 1960s.
“We explore Don’s Marx backstory and how they’ve influenced his work. He talks in-depth about making comedy, with behind-the-scenes tales going back to his days as a performer in the original production of Godspell. Don gives his thoughts on what makes a good Marx Brothers director, and why he thinks their later career went the way it did.
“Don also details his latest film, the soon-to-be-released Our (Almost Completely True) Love Story, which has a Marx Brothers fanatic at its center…and what it was like to work with thousands of worms in 1976’s Squirm.”
