66 “The Little We Know About Leonard”

A deep dive into Maxine Marx’s 1980 biography of her father, “Growing Up With Chico”. Matthew and Noah discuss the book’s honesty in taking on Chico’s self-centered lifestyle, while also portraying him in a sympathetic and loving manner. They point out discrepancies in anecdotes told by Maxine as compared to other sources, and are surprised by her willingness to express raw feelings about the rest of the family. Mostly though, the guys enjoy the details that help fill in the cracks of the story of the most interesting, yet elusive brother.
