The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (69)

Another page from the ACME Catalog -

Happy Memorial Day Bunkies!

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Road Runner/ Wile E. Coyote Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1956 Chuck Jones directed, Gee Whiz-z-z:



The scene with the canvas of a broken bridge reverses the series' usual gag - this time, the Road Runner cannot "jump into the painting", but Wile E. Coyote can.


Hopefully, you're out enjoying your Memorial Day weekend, doing something fun. In case your plans fell through (or have been rained out), we want to give you something to do. So join us in an old fashion creature feature double-feature today.



For your viewing entertainment today, the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is proud to present - the 1953 3D classic, It Came From Outer Space (shown here in spectacular 2D classic ACMEVISION,) and the equally spine tingling 1954 thriller, Them!. So grab a bowl of popcorn, claim a spot on the sofa, and join us in watching this blast from the 50s.



Pretty scary boys and girls! This film was somewhat of a rarity among science-fiction films in that its alien visitors are neither benevolent nor malevolent but instead seem indifferent to anything with our level of intelligence. You guys probably need a potty break before our next feature, Them! (ACME does not encourage soiling the furniture, even if it has been treated with ACME Guard.) So go ahead and run out, we'll wait.



Welcome back this special Memorial Day episode of the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour. Tonight's second feature is the terrifying 1954 classic 'giant insect flick' Them!



So run into the kitchen and get yourself another snack, SAME SEATS PLEASE and enjoy the rest of the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour presentation.



The film was originally scheduled to be filmed in color. Two days before shooting began, a nervous studio cut the budget, and the film had to be made in black and white. However, in the opening credits, the title is shown in bright red against a black and white background. It was also supposed to be in shot in 3-D. Some elements of the 3-D effects, such as the ants having extreme close-ups and the flame throwers shooting straight into the camera, were used in the film.
