Groucho Marx Intervewed by David Steinberg

Rare American TV show (posted by a German fan).   The musical appearances were removed and cut down to all Groucho.   Worth a watch.  Pre-stroke Groucho was still quickwitted.

MasterClass Full Pass!

Re-posting this to update.  Last year, I became an affiliate for MasterClass.   The "Full Pass" allows access to a dozen classes on screenwriting, novel writing, filmmaking, film scoring, etc. etc.

Now's the time to sign up and learn as you stay home in the weeks ahead.   Stay safe!

About a month or so ago I purchased an all-access pass to MasterClass. I'd taken the James Paterson (best-selling thriller novelist) course last year. It was $90 and informative.

When I found out I could take a dozen classes on my wish list for one fee, I signed up.

Steve Martin's course on comedy discusses creating a stand-up act ... Ron Howard discusses filmmaking and breaks down shooting a scene ... Marin Scorsese discusses filmmaking with stories from his great films ... Werner Herzog (filmmaking) ... Hans Zimmer (film scoring) ... Oh, Oscar-winner Aaron Sorkin has a series on screenwriting. Emmy-winning Shonda Rhimes discusses creating a TV series, breaking down a TV episode, show running.

Judd Apatow has an upcoming course on comedy writing. Spike Lee has one coming soon on filmmaking.

The annual pass is the way to go.

You get EVERYTHING (even series on cooking, chess, tennis, and basketball) from top pros in each field. Great way to learn.

DISCLOSURE: I liked it so much I became a paid affiliate for MasterClass and I can support this blog if a few sales result from the following link. Thanks for looking:
