Our return guest is the amazing Stooges guru Brent Seguine who is a true scholar of the Three Stooges. Today in his return visit, Brent talks all about Curly and his joining the team, at Columbia for the start of the shorts, his being a Mamyboy, his fun immaturity and his sad declining years and death at 48 after struggling for years after a stroke at 43 on set. Brent who writes for the Three Stooges Journal and has helped with the wonderful museum in Philadelphia dedicated to the team called the Stoogeum. (Gary Lassin). Brent sets the record straight and breaks many popular myths about the creation of the stooges. Brent’s research has provided us with this fascinating historical look at the creation of our favorite comedy team. Read Brent’s stories and research at TheThreeStooges.net. For all things Stooge-related, this is an impressive one-stop resource, and a lot of fun to browse. There’s a detailed filmography and chronology, as well as lists of TV guest appearances, film & TV tributes (citing, for instance, every vintage cartoon in which the Stooges were caricatured), a bibliography, comicography, and videography (identifying the contents of many video compilations). Every entry is illustrated with— —stills, posters, comic book covers, and more, like a film-by-film rundown of memorable Stooge quotes (“If this was my place, I’d throw you outta it!”). The site not only deals with The Three Stooges as a team but solo work by Ted Healy, Shemp Howard, Joe DeRita, and Joe Besser. THE HOME PAGE spotlights a film of the day, a comic book of the day, and a video link. Rob Davidson is the webmaster, and data administrator Brent Seguine said their next challenge is a rundown of all the Stooges’ radio appearances, so stay tuned for even more knucklehead information --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/RickLertzman/support
