1. Japanese monster movies and the Marx Brothers?

Can’t beat that!

[freesqueeze]

3. Both are strange creatures behaving bizarrely

Both have the majority of the cast overshadowed by dominant characters.

Smoke is coming out of someone's mouth.

Both have questionable make-up and costume decisions.

Both go down easy with a hangover.

2. WGN tv in Chicago always used to play Marx Bros Movies on NYE.

4. What a great collection ... :)

Love 'em both.
