EP 8 - Make Mine Music (1946): Jazz, Americana, and the Unnecessary Death of a Hyper-Talented Whale

In this episode, we discuss:
-how this film fulfills our dream of a jazz Fantasia,
-the roots of America's gun violence problem in a short with a high body count,
-censoring boobs, slimming butts, and the rules that govern the relentless pursuit of pleasure in the 1940s,
-the fragile masculinity of a showboating, All-American proto-Gaston baseball player,
-being emotionally invested in a clandestine love story between two resilient hats, and
-the tragedy of a The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met singing his only sold out show in Heaven.
