We didn't have a plan in mind, but somehow we ended up giving each other cartoons directed by Tex Avery and Chuck Jones. That sounds like a theme! For the Tex part of our program, we'll watch the great baritone Poochini get harassed by Mysto the magician as he tries to sing an opera song, and we'll see what people in 1949 thought their house would be like in 2050, when humanity has finally figured out how to deal with the mother-in-law. Then we shift to the Chuck part of the show, where Bugs Bunny tangles with knights, dragons and sorcerers, and where a depressed Martian figures that 1960's Earth must be the happiest place in the universe, if only it wasn't beset by monsters. Plus, Matsy will eulogize Squidbillies, and Micah will review numerous movies. And as a special bonus, we look at the climax of Hilda, namely the movie Hilda and the Mountain King. Put on your headphones and listen in. Just be aware that the headphones might be a noose if you're anyone's mother-in law.
