Minting New Marxists

I wasn't the only dad bringing a kid to the Marx Bros double feature on New Year's Day at Santa Monica's wonderful Aero Theater.

They do show up on TCM, but there's no substitute for the communal experience that improves the comedic experience. Go if you ever get the chance, classic scene samples below:
