About this episode

GGACP celebrates the 50th anniversary of a Frank favorite, the western-comedy "Hearts of the West," (released October 8, 1975) co-starring GGACP guest Alan Arkin. In this interview from 2020, Alan (joined by Emmy-winning actor Adam Arkin) talks about portraying villains, directing dark comedies, the precision of the Coen brothers and the Cold War politics of “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming.” Also, Pat McCormick hits the hard stuff, Groucho drops in on Second City, Stephen King praises “Wait Until Dark” and Alan (almost) directs “Blazing Saddles.” PLUS: Captain Kangaroo! The brilliance of “The In-Laws”! Adam “reps” Chuck McCann! Alan records “The Banana Boat Song”! And Adam and Alan choose their favorite Arkin performances! Learn more about your ad choices.
