Classic Comedy Conversations #2- Hellzapoppin' (1941) starring Ole Olsen & Chic Johnson

In our second episode, we are joined by the host of the "TV Guidance Counselor" podcast, Ken Reid, for a lively conversation about the zany 1941 film "Hellzapoppin'", starring the team of Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson. We discuss the many ways in which the film breaks the fourth wall, the film's behind-the-scenes production problems, the legal issues that have prevented it from being commercially released, Olsen & Johnson's lack of a traditional "comedy team" dynamic, Martha Raye being more attractive than her screen image would suggest, Ken discusses the differences between the Broadway show and the movie, and Brian reveals his one big criticism of a film he otherwise likes. I'm sure you'll really enjoy this one!
