ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (430)
Thank you for joining us today
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Porky Pig Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1936 Porky's Pet, directed by Jack King.
This cartoon may have inspired Walt Disney Studios to create the 1937 Donald Duck short Donald's Ostrich, also directed by Jack King, and the 1940 Mickey Mouse cartoon Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip.
Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to watch our favorite panelist of talk shows, Nathan Lane, America's favorite internet boyfriend:
I've said it before, I'll say it again, Nathan Lane is one of the funniest people in America. And who wouldn't want to spend the end days of democracy with him.
We've cracked open another cinematic gem from the ultimate movie bucket list - 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today’s pick: the 1974 crime drama Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (AKA Tráiganme la cabeza de Alfredo García), directed by Sam Peckinpah, and starring Warren Oates (rocking one of the greatest pairs of sunglasses in film history), Isela Vega, Robert Webber, Gig Young, Helmut Dantine, Emilio Fernández, and Kris Kristofferson. When it was first released, this film belly-flopped at the box office and got absolutely roasted by critics—so much so that it earned a spot in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time. But like a fine tequila or that weird uncle with great stories, it got better with age. These days, it’s seen as one of Peckinpah’s rawest, most personal works an, it’s the only film in his career where the studio didn’t mess with his cut. So, slide that plate of tacos to the side, pop open a cold Tecate, and join us in watching, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.
Production on Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia started in late September 1973. Not long after, director Sam Peckinpah, never one to mince words (or avoid controversy), declared in an October issue of Variety: “For me, Hollywood no longer exists. It’s past history. I’ve decided to stay in Mexico because I believe I can make my pictures with greater freedom from here.” As you might imagine, this bold mic-drop moment didn’t go over too well with the Motion Picture and Television Unions. At their National Conference in Detroit, they issued a public censure against Peckinpah, essentially wagging a very official finger in his direction. They even threatened to boycott the film upon release, branding it a “runaway” production - Hollywood code for “you didn’t shoot it in our backyard, and we’re salty about it.” Peckinpah later insisted he’d been misquoted—though given his flair for provocation, it’s anyone’s guess whether that’s damage control or just part of the show. Either way, the unions eventually cooled down and backed off their boycott threat before the film hit theaters.
