09 “A Good Buy From MGM” ("The Big Store" Deep Dive)

Actor, writer, and singer Nick Santa Maria joins us to defend “The Big Store”…not the funniest of the latter-MGM films, but (in our opinion) the most likable. We speculate on the secret life of Hiram Phelps and love life of Mr. Grover, plus hear a rare audio clip of Tony Martin and his version of reality. We’re also treated to the death stories of a couple of cast-members! Finally, everyone is rewarded by us not playing “The Tenement Symphony”.

Note that your enjoyment of this episode will be greatly enhanced by watching the film first, as we get into detail that you might not remember...
