Zach welcomes the illustrious film critic, historian, and podcaster Leonard Maltin (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Crazy, Maltin on Movies) aboard to sift through the rubble and reap the rewards of the embattled but lastingly entertaining Jack Benny film from 1943, THE MEANEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Follow along as the two navigate the film’s rocky road to development, marvel at the stand-off between Jack and 20th Century Fox, delight in the comedic brilliance of Jack and Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, and become surprised by the fate of the film after principal photography wrapped and its re-shoots overseen by a comedy film legend.
PLUS: A Bonus Radio Show after the main presentation
“Jack’s Birthday from Toronto, Canada”
Air Date: February 14th, 1943
