Summary

Andy Marx — who Phil and David both first met on the WGA picket lines — is an award-winning writer, photographer and musician and a wonderful storyteller with an amazing story to tell. For one thing, he’s Hollywood royalty in film, comedy and music as a “nepo grandbaby.” Just for starters, Andy’s two grandfathers were the legendary Groucho Marx of The Marx Brothers and the legendary songwriter Gus Kahn whose classic songs you will hear about here, as well as lots of stories for all the comedy Marxists, too.
