His films are incredible. I also have always had a fascination with the Marx Brothers and their films. Trivia Question: Name all 5 of the brothers. I grew up in a town and time of only 10 channels and no remote control. Lots of late Friday and Saturday night, classic Sci-Fi and horror films. Plus on Sunday a Tarzan and then a classic comedy movie, Marx Bros, Ma and Pa Kettle, etc. Stephen Balderson is a new filmmaker to keep your eye out for. He is from and still lives in Wamego, the same small Kansas town we grew up in. His movie Pep Squad was filmed in the high school I went to. For you people in Cal that ain't no big deal, but to us Kansas folk ... well we take what excitement we can get. heh. I could go on and on about all of the great "hidden" movies out there, indy films, foreign, classic, anime, etc. Thank the gods for Netflix.
