Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Porky Pig Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1936 Boom Boom (co-starring Beans), directed by Jack King.



This cartoon entered the public domain in 1964 as Seven Arts Productions forgot to renew the copyright when it was due.


Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to watch another episode of The Puddles Pity Party Show -

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1973 martial arts classic Enter The Dragon, directed by Robert Clouse, and starring Bruce Lee, John Saxon, Ahna Capri, Bob Wall, Shih Kien and Jim Kelly. This was Bruce Lee's final completed film appearance before his death. It is the most successful martial arts film ever and is widely regarded as one of the greatest martial arts films of all time. In 2004, this movie was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in the United States and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching Enter The Dragon.



By Hollywood standards, the film was a B-movie, yet every aspect of it from the acting to the direction was way above average for an action thriller. And, of course, the fight scenes are mesmerizing and unlike anything previously seen in American films.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Porky Pig Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1936 Alpine Antics (co-starring Beans), directed by Jack King.



The villain resembles Pete from Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse cartoons. He is voiced by the same actor, Billy Bletcher.

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1973 horror classic The Wicker Man, directed by Robin Hardy, and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt and Christopher Lee. The Wicker Man is well regarded by critics. Film magazine Cinefantastique described it as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies". Christopher Lee said that he considers this to be one of his greatest ever roles. This film is subtle in its thrills and chills, with an ending that is both shocking and truly memorable. So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching The Wicker Man.



The "evil eye" rowing boat, which takes Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) to and from his plane, was not constructed for this movie. It belonged to a resident of Plockton. Upon seeing it, the producers decided it would suit the movie. The boat survived until 2004 when it was destroyed in a storm.

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1973 comedy drama American Graffiti, directed by George Lucas, (pre Star Wars), and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips, Cindy Williams and Wolfman Jack. The film received almost universal praise when released. Produced for a little more than 3/4 of a million dollars, American Graffiti has become one of the most profitable films ever. Since its initial release, the movie has earned an well over $200 million in box-office gross and home video sales The film is often referred to as a coming of age film but it is rather a farewell movie, for the gang at Mel’s Drive-In and the era (Camelot). So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching American Graffiti.



One of the main reasons why so many studios initially turned down the script was because George Lucas wanted at least 40 songs on the soundtrack, which would obviously lead to a large bill over the rights to these songs. Universal finally agreed to fund the picture when Lucas' friend Francis Ford Coppola (fresh from the success of The Godfather the year before) came on board as producer.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Looney Tunes Porky Pig cartoon, the 1935 Gold Diggers of '49, (featuring Beans,) directed by Tex Avery.



This is the first cartoon directed by Tex Avery for Warner Bros. Cartoons.


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



Set against the backdrop of the beautiful rural area of Kuala Selangor, the film vividly brings to life the natural beauty and warmth of the people during that era.


Another facet of the Lunar New Year celebration, is about traditions. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to start a tradition with your family by watching Ang Lee's comedy-drama 1994 Eat Drink Man Woman, starring Sihung Lung, Wang Yu-wen, Wu Chien-lien, and Yang Kuei-mei. It is Lee's only film, to date, to be shot entirely in his native Taiwan. So why not sit back and relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack or even a meal (perhaps order in some take out,) and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching Eat Drink Man Woman.



The opening sequence - in which a Sunday lunch is lovingly prepared - took over a week to film.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the first Porky Pig Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1935 I Haven't Got a Hat, directed by Friz Freleng.



This short marks the debut appearances of Little Kitty, Beans, Ham and Ex, Oliver Owl, and most famously Porky Pig. Many of the characters in this short were given their own shorts, to see if they were good recurring characters. WB particularly focused on Beans, to no avail, as Porky's stuttering successfully stole the show.


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



Throughout the film, viewers see two families glimpsing each other through a shared window over the years. It’s a nod to the subtle traditions and rituals that remain over time.


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, Lost On Journey. 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.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1968 See Ya Later Gladiator, {co-starring Speedy Gonzales,) directed by Alex Lovy.

Before the start of our feature presentation, the staff of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to remember the iconoclastic film maker - David Lynch:



His filmmaking is the a clear example of what vivid dreaming is like


We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1973 crime drama Badlands, directed by Terrence Malick, in his directorial debut, and starring Martin Sheen, and Sissy Spacek. The film is loosely based on the real-life murder spree of Charles Starkweather and his girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, in 1958. A very bizarre piece of trivia, Warner Bros. initially previewed the film on a double bill with the Mel Brooks comedy Blazing Saddles, resulting in very negative audience response. So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching Badlands.



The actor originally cast as the architect who rings at the rich man's door did not show up, so Terrence Malick played the part himself. Malick later wanted to re-shoot the scene with another actor, but Martin Sheen refused to re-do the sequence with anyone else. Sissy Spacek later said that working with Terrence Malick completely changed her whole attitude to film-making. She believes she would have had a much different career if she and Malick hadn't crossed paths.

We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1972 murder mystery Slueth, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and written by Anthony Shaffer, starring Laurence Olivier, and Michael Caine. The film was Joseph L. Mankiewicz's final film. The oil portrait of “Marguerite,” Andrew’s wife, who is never seen in the film, was based on a photograph of actress Joanne Woodward, a close friend of Mankiewicz. So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching Sleuth.



Michael Caine was so very much beside himself to be working with Laurence Olivier that he didn't even know how to address him. Eventually, he broke down and just asked. Olivier replied "Well, I am the Lord Olivier and you are Mr. Michael Caine. Of course, that's only for the first time you address me. After that I am Larry, and you are Mike."

It was the anniversary of the passing of David Bowie yesterday, so I thought this would be a good choice.


We've picked another entry from the excellent reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider. Today's film is the 1972 comedy The Heartbreak Kid, directed by Elaine May and written by Neil Simon, starring Charles Grodin, Cybill Shepherd, Jeannie Berlin, Audra Lindley, Eddie Albert, and Doris Roberts. The film is rare in the Neil Simon canon in that it is not based on one of his plays, nor is it from an original screenplay by him. It's an adaptation of another writer's work, Bruce Jay Friedman. So push away from the table, get settled in and join us in watching The Heartbreak Kid.



Neil Simon's contract stated that none of his dialogue could be changed without his permission. The improvisational Elaine May came to an agreement whereby they would film 2 versions, his original script and then her version, and then decide which was better. After a week or so, Charles Grodin recalls that Neil Simon stopped coming to the set, and Elaine May was in control.
