The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (193)

Sorry for the delay in posting


Thank you for joining us today.



Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1952 Hare Lift (featuring Yosemite Sam), directed by Friz Freleng.



The animation of the robot pilot and Yosemite Sam opening the parachute is reused animation from the 1940 Merrie Melodies short Ceiling Hero.



Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap has an exciting travel suggestion for your family, once the pandemic quarantining is over:


Imagine witnessing all that power, from a safe distance for only $3.00!


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 yodelling and Bellaso ciphers.

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 is another masterpiece from the creative team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the 1948 technicolor dream - The Red Shoes. Many believe this is the team's greatest achievement, even comparing it to their other magnificent films, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, A Matter of Life and Death and Black Narcissus, among them. Film critics often note that The Red Shoes "launched a thousand dance careers." So why not sit back and relax (find the most comfortable seat) get a snack and a glass of champagne (or two) and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching The Red Shoes. -





This is one of director Martin Scorsese's favorite films and he owns a large collection of memorabilia related to it, including a pair of the red slippers signed by Moira Shearer, a copy of the screenplay signed by directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, an original set of storyboards (which were a gift from Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts), and several movie posters from around the world.



Demand Euphoria!
