The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (65)

Another page from the ACME Catalog -

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Tweety/ Sylvester Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1960 Friz Freleng directed, Trip For Tat:



The cartoon is mostly made up of footage from previous cartoons: Tweety's S.O.S., Tree Cornered Tweety, Tweet Tweet Tweety, and A Pizza Tweety Pie.


As we're sure you know, April is National Poetry Month. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour wanted to close out the month with an acknowledgement of the celebrations. So get yourself comfortable on your couch (or comfy chair, of bed; ACME doesn't judge where you tune in to join us) and watch this 2010 dramatic and deeply moving film from Korea, Poetry. (Don't forget to grab your ACME brand tissues.)



The director, Chang-dong Lee wrote the lead character specifically for Jeong-hie Yun, a major star of Korean cinema from the 1960s and 1970s. Yun later expressed satisfaction with how the role differed from what she typically played in the past: "I've always had the desire to show people different aspects of my acting and (Lee) provided me with every opportunity to do just that." Prior to Poetry, the last film Yun appeared in was Manmubang (Two Flags) from 1994.
