    Oct 23 2026
    Hot off the presses, THE UNCUT MARX BROTHERS explores comedy bits, scenes, and storylines that, for one reason or another, never made it to the screen. Author David Koenig joins us to detail his discoveries, and how he uncovered these rare materials. Noah delivers a rundown of discarded Groucho character names, while Matthew unveils something you never imagined you'd ever hear… Without question, one of our most important episodes.

    97 “Ten Thrilling Years” featuring Noah Diamond
    Sep 28 2026
    A decade after publication, we celebrate Noah’s "Gimme a Thrill", his acclaimed book about the Marx Brothers’ lost Broadway debut, "I’ll Say She Is", and the remarkable effort to bring it back to life. With Noah temporarily promoted to guest, we look back at the book’s creation, the research and discoveries behind it, and what may in store for ISSI’s second hundred years.

    96 Room Service Reordered
    Aug 31 2026
    We check back into Room Service, this time putting the spotlight on listener comments about the much-debated 1938 Marx adaptation of the Broadway hit. We rethink the film’s restrained version of the team, missed opportunities, and which brother surprisingly fares best. It’s a lively back-and-forth featuring defenses, complaints, fresh observations and some wonderfully specific nitpicking. By the end, Room Service may not have won everyone over, but it certainly gives us plenty to argue about.
