In part one of a two-part episode, Frank is joined by filmmaker ALAN BERNSTEIN ("When We Went MAD!") and longtime Senior Editor JOE RAIOLA for a loving look at the subversive humor magazine's 73-year history, its eccentric co-founders, its transition from comic book to "slick" magazine, and its influence on future generations of comedians and comedy writers. Also in this episode: William M. Gaines takes on Congress, Al Feldstein gives Alfred E. Neuman an identity, Hugh Hefner gives Harvey Kurtzman "an unlimited budget" and the boys praise several members of the "Usual Gang of Idiots," including Max Brandel, Dick DeBartolo, Frank Jacobs, Arnie Kogen (and others). PLUS: "A Hard Day's Night"! Gilbert commandeers a limo! Irving Berlin goes to court! Joe goes to Oktoberfest! And Frank recalls the "glory days" of Mad competitors Sick, Cracked, Crazy and Help!

Awesome Q&A after the Midwest premiere of ‘When We Went MAD - The Unauthorized Story of MAD Magazine’ with some great stories from Sam Viviano - fine illustration and caricatures for over four decades as well as the art director with MAD Magazine for 19 years. What a rich life! taken in Redford Theatre by @capnpeebo

Out with the #RoyalStarrFilmFestival crew and Straight from the red carpet of When We Went MAD! The Unauthorized Story of MAD Magazine Premiere at the Redford Theatre, here’s me flanked by none other than Spy vs. Spy! 🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️ (Yes, I somehow survived without becoming their latest victim… barely.)

This MAD masterpiece of a film celebrates the chaotic brilliance of MAD Magazine, and it’s already got me asking, What, Me Worry? Catch the premiere, meet the spies, and experience the unauthorized story of the magazine that made us all snort milk out of our noses.
