Episode Details

The Jack Benny/Mark Sandrich trilogy is now complete as Zach calls upon fellow Benny podcasters Buck Benny (Buck Benny OTR Podcast), Hope Sears (All of the Classics), and John Henderson (This Day in Jack Benny) to assemble (Like some sort of Benny Avenger squad) and take a good long look at the 1940 feud driven comedy brawl, LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. With the ring of the bell, our analysts gather around the ring and witness the epic battle of Jack Benny and Fred Allen unfold in all its glory. Along the way they will dive deep into the films production, learn where each performer was in their careers from potential to eventuality, ponder Fred Allen's involvement and his film career at large, unravel a scrambled plot, marvel and shudder at the strange yet amazing sight gag's throughout the film, contemplate Jack's overall film career, and try to suss out the ways Love Thy Neighbor, and radio to film adaptations at large, have a thing or two to say about the difference between art and commerce as it relates to today. PLUS: Thanos Snaps many people out throughout the show. ---------- For John Henderson: Be sure to subscribe and tune in to This Day in Jack Benny Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-day-in-jack-benny/id1080168436 Website: https://thisdaybenny.com/ For Buck Benny OTR: Be sure to check out Darrel's work by subscribing to and enjoying Buck Benny OTR Website: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/jack-benny Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jack-benny-show-otr-podcast/id291367201 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BuckBennyOTR/featured?app=desktop And look out on Bucks YouTube Page for the Video Version of this episode! and be sure to support him on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4279967 For Hope Sears: Be sure to look for Hope's show 'All of the Classics' on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-of-the-classics/id1398191571 Also available on Spotify and Anchor.FM and check out the 'All of the Classics' YouTube page here : https://youtube.com/channel/UCqH5ATLS8bLsFgp1JmF1GIw
