ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour Today (366)

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 Daffy Duck Merrie Melodie cartoon, the 1957 Ali Baba Bunny, (co-starring Bugs Bunny,) and directed by Chuck Jones.



Several lines spoken by Daffy—among them "Mine mine mine!", "I can't help it, I'm a greedy slob—it's my hobby" and "I'm rich—I'm a happy miser!"—have become popular catch phrases amongst fans and students of Chuck Jones' style of animation and fans of Daffy Duck as well; the line "HASSAAAN CHOP!" has also become a favorite quote.


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



Hopefully we can all find the eternal spring in our everyday lives, as obviously Michelle Yeoh has.


Tonight is the Lunar New Year Eve and you may already need a break from your family. Here at ACME, we can think of no better way to relax than watching a classic thriller. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching 1986 influential crime drama, A Better Tomorrow, starring STi Lung, Leslie Cheung, and Chow Yun-fat. (The film was Chow Yun-fat's breakout role and launched him as one of the top superstars in the Hong Kong film industry.) So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.



The character of Mark Gor proved to be so popular that many young HKers adopted his style (black trenchcoat, sunglasses, match in mouth). Stores around HK were sold out of the distinctive Ray-Ban sunglasses in less than a week after the movie premiered. All this led to a blasting of John Woo by critics and government officials that he was glamorizing the Triad lifestyle.



Demand Euphoria!
