Shake off that food coma and escape the in-laws with our Black Friday double-bill featuring the Marx Brothers! Amid the typical Marxist zaniness, Horse Feathers finds Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff (Groucho) as the newly installed president of Huxley College. His attempts to recruit two ringers for the big football game against Darwin U. land him Chico and Harpo instead. Swordfish! (68 mins., 4K DCP)

In Monkey Business, the boys star as stowaways caught between two feuding gangsters aboard a ship bound for the United States. This was the first Marx Brothers film based on an original screenplay instead of a stage play and their first to be shot in Hollywood instead of New York. (79 mins., 4K DCP)
