Summary
This week we dive into Duck Soup (1933), the Marx Brothers’ chaotic masterpiece of political satire, slapstick, and pure nonsense. From peanut stands to mirror gags, we’re unpacking the madness of Freedonia, laughing at the absurdity of war, and wondering if Groucho should really be trusted to run a country. Spoiler: probably not.
Whether you’re a Marx Brothers superfan or just ducking in for the first time, this one is a quack-up you won’t want to miss.
