The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (190)

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon (featuring Marvin the Martian), the 1952 The Hasty Hare, directed by Chuck Jones.



This is the first short where Marvin the Martian has its familiar nasal voice which would continue to be used permanently in subsequent appearances (his familiar nasal voice is actually based on the voice from the unseen emcee who says this one line "Shall we give it to him, folks?" from What's Cookin' Doc?).


Before the start of our feature presentation, after an exhaustive investigation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap can finally tell you why so many are not wearing masks:

Space aliens are taking over our minds. Join the resistance - say NO to space aliens!


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 Docker containers and messages in a bottle.

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's choice - the 1948 film, Force of Evil from the blacklisted director Abraham Polonsky. Another in the list of seemly almost forgotten film noir movies, starring John Garfield (Jacob Julius Garfinkle). The film is an amazing and subversive critique of the American Capitalism system. So why not sit back and relax (find the most comfortable seat) get a snack (bar nuts anyone,) and a slug of scotch or two and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching Force of Evil -





During Congressional hearings in Hollywood in 1951 Polonsky was called the 'most dangerous man in America' by Rep. Harold Velde. During the time he was blacklisted, Polonsky often wrote screenplays using a 'front'. He finally began writing again under his own name with Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, a pro-American Indian film made in 1969.
