ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (415)

Merry Christmas to us all

Before our holiday feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1952 Looney Tunes cartoon Gift Wrapped, co-starring Sylvester, Tweety, and Granny, directed by Friz Freleng.



This short, along with the Bugs Bunny/Yosemite Sam cartoon Ballot Box Bunny and the Pepé Le Pew cartoon Little Beau Pepé, were submitted for an Academy Award in 1952 but were not nominated.


In case you are still overwhelmed by the holidays (or haven't finished wrapping,) - ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to share with you a few shorts that we didn't get around to post for you this holiday season.

First up - Dick Van Dyke just celebrated his 99th birthday and his neighbor helped him celebrate -



All My Love is a heartfelt song that explores themes of enduring love, commitment, and resilience in relationships. The track uses weather metaphors to convey the ups and downs of a lasting union. The rain clouds might roll in, sure, but eventually, the sun breaks through. The video was co-directed by Mary Wigmore and Spike Jonze and filmed at Van Dyke's beachside home in Malibu, the clip is a heartwarming tribute to the iconic actor.


Next up, holiday greetings from the original cast of Star Trek -



So live long and prosper!

And finally, a rather rude song from a rather elderly British gentleman:



Oh Mr. Idle, what are we going to do with you?


As always, ACME wants you to join them in celebrating the holidays with your friends at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour - the official soap of our nation's bald eagles. Remember if your bald eagle's talons are filthy, do we have a soap for you! It's nearly here - after all the shopping and planning. Why join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching another Frank Capra classic holiday movies, the 1961 film - Pocket Full of Miracles, (a remake of his 1933 film, A Lady for a Day,) starring Glenn Ford, Bette Davis, Hope Lange, Ann-Margaret, Arthur O'Connell, Peter Falk, Thomas Mitchell, Edward Everett Horton, and Mickey Shaughnessy. This was the final feature film Frank Capra directed. It was not a happy set as Glenn Ford and Bette Davis did not get along and bickered throughout the filming. Nevertheless, people find the film a charming holiday classic The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching this fun movie, so push away from pile of gifts you are wrapping, if you can, get comfortable and enjoy the film.



The animosity that sprang up between Glenn Ford and Bette Davis gave Frank Capra constant blinding headaches, even though he refused to physically intervene in their altercations. Capra wrote in his autobiography that the production was "shaped in the fires of discord and filmed in an atmosphere of pain, strain, and loathing."


The staff and management of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to wish you and yours the happiest and warmest of holiday seasons.

Remember, the best holidays are those spend with the ones we love. We hope we've been able to a part of yours.
