The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (210)

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




Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Merrie Melodies Bugs Bunny cartoon, the 1954 Baby Buggy Bunny, directed by Chuck Jones.



Ant Hill Harry's tattoo reads "Maisie Singapore 1932". If we assume the cartoon's release date of 1954 to also be the date in which the story occurs, and since Ant Hill Harry's age in the TV alert is given as 35, this means he would have been 13 years old when the tattoo was inked. On the same assumption, if not paroled before then, he will be released in 2053, at the age of 134.


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



As the world eagerly waits for his next feature, Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-Wai created this visually stunning and almost meaningless commercial for the German auto giant.


Here is a surveillance photo of some of our staff braving the cold to work on the progamming of this week's film:

(Don't ask which midtown bar they stumbled out of.)


We are just starting the Lunar New Year celebrations and we're sure you may already need a break from your family. Here at ACME, we can think of no better way to relax than watching a comedy about trying to get home. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching comedy actor Xu Zheng as a disgruntled businessman in this timely lunar new year movie. A road movie much like the Steven Martin and John Candy film Planes, Trains and Automobiles, two unlikely accomplices find themselves making their way home during the busiest time of the year in China, Chunyun. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.



Director Yip Waiman delves deep into the Spring Festival phenomenon, and actors Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang shine as comic geniuses.The story is typically heartwarming, as Xu Zheng’s character Li finds himself getting drawn into zany adventures with Wang Baoqiang’s first time flyer Niu Geng, which eventually help to draw out his own ideas of what is important to him in his life.
