Once again, ACME would like to wishes all of their friends and family a happy and healthy Lunar New Year!

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1941 Tex Avery directed, All This and Rabbit Stew, one of the infamous 'Censored Eleven' cartoons (due to its caricature of a blackface African-American hunter) :



One of the "Censored 11" banned from T.V. syndication by United Artists in 1968 (then the owners of the Looney Tunes film library) for alleged racism. Ted Turner continued the ban when he purchased the library and stated that these films will not be re-issued and will not be put on Home Video. These cartoons will probably never air on television again, and only non-Warner Bros. licensed public domain video tapes will probably ever have these cartoons on them. Although Tex Avery directed this cartoon, by the time of its release, he had left the studio and Leon Schlesinger was not his biggest fan. So his credit was removed.


In celebration of the Lunar New Year, today's episode of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is sponsored by Mars Chocolate Company:



Remember, Dove Chocolate: eat your way through the guilt.


The Lunar New Year celebrations are finally behind us and we're sure you need a break. Here at ACME, we can think of no better way to relax than watch a movie filled with sex, love and madness. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching Wong Kar-wai's visual sumptuous 2004 hit, 2046. Once again, if you can't watch this today, please put it on a list of films you much watch. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film

The title of the film is supposed to be said as, "Two Oh Four Six." The title of the film refers to the last year before the 50-year period the Chinese Government promised to let Hong Kong remain as it is. Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997.


Continuing our celebration of the Lunar New Year, the second feature on The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is sponsored by Watsons Personal Care Stores:



Remember, Hey, shop at Watsons! People don't break out into a musical number after shopping at Walgreen's - do they?


Welcome back my friends. Our next feature is the 2016 Chinese documentary film, A Bite of China: Celebrating the Chinese New Year. So hopefully you took your bathroom break during our brief intermission. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour's second feature today



I bet after watching that your a little hungry. There's probably something in the kitchen.



Demand Euphoria!
