As the great Count Floyd might say, "Oooh, this is a SCARY one, folks!" Yes, it's our Halloween special featuring our pal, Paul Castiglia (author of the upcoming book, SCARED SILLY). In this episode, inspired by the work of Bud and Lou, we take a close look at a collection of horror comedies. We discuss Laurel and Hardy, Schilling and Lane, Hugh Herbert and Dudley Dickerson, Brown and Carney, The Bowery Boys, and more! So, turn out the lights, watch for moving candles, and get ready for a Boo-tiful time.
Join Nick and Jerry as they take a deep dive look at all things Sammy Petrillo. We discuss BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA, and the great new book about Sammy by Dave Abramson. We go into Duke Mitchell, too. It's fake Jerry Lewis for everybody! Enjoy!
We've had a lot of requests to do a deep dive into the wild and crazy Ritz Brothers. You'll meet Harry, Jimmy, and Al as Jerry and Nick discuss their career, their films, and their amazing talent. Some people love them and others don't, and we are in the former group and we hope this helps put you into that category, as well. And please DON'T HOLLER!!!
Join Jerry and Nick as they do a deep dish dive into THE BOWERY BOYS, and all their incarnations. You'll meet the Dead End Kids, The East Side Kids, and even The Little Tough Guys. You'll hear the whole story. Were Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall a great comedy team? You be the judge...and have FUN!
In this episode Jerry and Nick explore the 2nd most popular comedy duo of the 1930s. Wheeler and Woolsey seem to be an acquired taste, even though they used many of the same writers/composers as the Marx Brothers. The results? Judge for yourself. Warning: There are some strong opinions in this episode, but why should this one be any different. ENJOY EVERYBODY!
Join Nick and Jerry as they discuss some of the less comedy remembered teams, the ones we didn't cover in episode #53. Here we take a look at Clark and McCullough, The Ritz Brothers, Olsen and Johnson, Brown and Carney, and even a few obscure ones! It's real egghead stuff, man, so put on your Leonard Maltin tee shirt, your MAKING AMERICA FUNNY AGAIN hat, and your rip-away pants and join in on the fun!
Get ready, because Jerry and Nick meet here in person for the very first time, and the laughs are flying wild! In episode #53 we discuss Bud and Lou's reputation as a couple that just didn't get along. We also discuss the other great comedy teams and take a close-up look at how THEY all got along. Luckily Jerry and Nick get along just fine. ENJOY!
Join us as Jerry and Nick finally take a hard look at The Abbott and Costello Show. Syndicated in the early 1950s, it's considered one of the most influential TV comedy shows of all time, and it is still airing today. Here we take a look at 3 episodes from the first (superior) season, and 3 from the second (inferior) season. Either way it's lots of fun, and there is even a visit to the Bud Abbott Variety Show, featuring a special guest. Enjoy!
