The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (184)

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon (featuring Yosemite Sam,) the 1951 Ballot Box Bunny, directed by Friz Freleng.



The original cartoon finished with Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam playing a game of Russian Roulette after they find out they both lost the election. This ending has been edited out in most airing of the cartoon, but has been restored in recent broadcasts of the title.


Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to offer this moment to an ordinary American who feels the need to say something -

Much like Ida Lupino, no body fucks with Marge Simpson.


We hope you are doing well with your self quarantines - the programming department of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour have been vigorously scrubbing themselves with ACME Eagle Hand Soap - If your eagle's hands are dirty, we'll wash them clean! and sanitizing themselves for your protection. We are also engaged in social distancing - we are communicating with each other via blinking Morse code signals and embedded codes in BBC radio broadcasts.

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider for today's feature. Today choice - the 1945 poverty row classic film noir, Detour. It is the documentary film maker Errol Morris' favorite film. He said of it: "It has an unparalleled quality of despair, totally unrelieved by hope." Please join ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching noir classic, Detour.-



It is frequently reported that this film was shot only in one week. In truth, the shooting schedule was 28 days. The "one week" myth appears to be based on an off-hand remark by director Edgar G. Ulmer toward the end of his life.
