Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1944 Bob Clampett directed, The Old Grey Hare:
When Elmer Fudd reads a newspaper from the year 2000, there is an article with the headline "Bing Crosby's Horse Hasn't Come in Yet". Crosby was well known as a horse breeder whose horses seldom finished in the money, and the line "Crosby's horse finally came in" was a popular gag line. Also Musical Director Carl W. Stalling's name appears in a newspaper article Elmer reads. The headline reads, "Smellevision Replaces Television" followed by the byline, "Carl Stalling sez, 'It Will Never Work!'"
The staff at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour are all tuckered out. Yesterday was your old friend, the Doctor’s birthday and while I had to work a 16 hour shift, they all went out and enjoyed themselves on my dime (American Express card, to be precise. So I thought I would make things easy and celebrate the date July 13, 1972. (Bunkies try to follow along, this is all very confusing.) The Japanese sci-fi film The X from Outer Space (Uchū Daikaijū Girara or Giant Space Monster Guilala,) directed by Eiji Okada, released on March 25, 1967 in Japan (and 1968 in the US) for some reason was finally released to in Europe on this date. So rather than strain any brain cells, please join us in watching this classic Kaiju. So we would like you to sit back (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching The X from Outer Space.
This was the movie studio Shochiku's first monster movie. In case this comes up in conversation - Guliala can:
- run at over 80 miles per hour.
- can absorb a variety of different forms of energy, which help him power his attacks.
- can reduce himself into a spore to allow himself to be undetected.
By all means, please impress your friends with this information.
Demand Euphoria!
