The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (90)

A new page from the ACME Catalog -

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with first half of the 1991 premiere of Ren & Stimpy series, directed by John Kricfalusi, Stimpy's Big Day:



Originally at the end of the cartoon, the microphone was planned to go into Stimpy's mouth. However, it seemed to remind Nick executives of a certain sexual method, so the scene was animated with the microphone going into his nose. The microphone in the mouth was never animated.


The crew at the ACME have been touring the country, looking for a new broadcast facilities for The Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour. We think we found our new home, high atop the famous Jonnet Building in downtown Monroeville, PA.

With all of our travels, we nearly forgot to program today's show. We haven't watched a movie together in a while, and with Halloween just a few weeks away we thought we'd watch a Godzilla double feature, both directed by legendary director Ishirō Honda: Invasion of Astro-Monster and Destroy All Monsters. So pop an extra bag or two of popcorn, get on your PJs and get comfortable, while The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour get ready to present Nick Adams, king of the Japanese monster movies, in Invasion of Astro-Monsters.



Nick Adams is speaking English throughout the Film, despite the fact he seems to be conversing with the other actors, who are clearly speaking Japanese. Adams was simply dubbed over into Japanese for the Japanese release. Conversely, when the film was finally released in the US, Nick Adams voice is the only voice not dubbed over. The Japanese speaking actors are dubbed over into English.



Wow, if that wasn't enough Godzilla for one night, get ready for the second action-packed feature, Destroy All Monsters. So hit the bathroom, get yourself another drink and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour on the couch, won't you?



The intent of Toho Studios was that this was going to be the final Godzilla movie as the popularity of Kaiju films was losing steam. However, it was very successful and Toho changed their mind and went on to create more Godzilla films into the 70's.
