The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (177)

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1951 Hare We Go, directed by Robert McKimson.



Shortly after King Ferdinand kicks Christopher Columbus out of his palace, Bugs Bunny's first scene occurs and looks at Christopher Columbus's globe. Then, when he voices his frustration, as if cursing in Italian, Bugs asks why. Columbus tells Bugs that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella do not believe that the Earth is round. Bugs then gets a baseball (before the sport was created) and tosses it. Ten seconds later, it arrives with marks and the names of world famous cities: Paris, France; Cairo, Egypt; Shanghai, China; London, England; Lima, Peru; Mumbai, India; Brooklyn, New York; and Hollywood, California.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to bring you this important PSA - So, don't put strange things in your mouth.

June 15, 1979 -
Jeff Stein's documentary about The Who, The Kids Are Alright, premiered in New York City, on this date. The Kids Are Alright highlights the Who’s fifteen-year career, from silent footage at London’s Scene Club in 1965 to the final concert with Keith Moon at Shepperton Film Studios in 1978. So why not sit back and relax (find the most comfortable seat) get a snack (smoke 'em if you got 'em,) and a lager or two and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching and listening to this documentary, The Kids Are Alright -



Director Jeff Stein had to talk The Who into performing live again for the new footage shot for the film in 1977 and '78 (The '77 footage ended up not being used except for very brief excerpts). The band conceded, but after turning in an unsatisfactory performance of their show closer Won't Get Fooled Again at the second filming, Stein had to coax a very reluctant Pete Townshend into going back out to perform a more "definitive" version of the song so they'd have a better end to the film.
