Is it the last hurrah or the last straw? We sift through comments on everything from Tootsie-Frootsie to the excised “Dr. Hackenbush” song, while confronting the water carnival sequence that turns watching the movie into a hostage situation. We also take on the film’s most uncomfortable sequence, doing our best to put it in perspective...

And as always, enough nitpicking to put any fan under observation at the Standish Sanitarium.","meta_description":"Listeners share their thoughts on the most divisive Marx film.
