97. The Great Rupert (1950)

Hello Excellent Carnie Folk!


Like finding one last present under the tree, we’re here with the final HWGW of 2022! Hunter is joined by guest co-host Tina Dillon and returning friend of the show Bryan Bierman to discuss a Christmas movie you may never have heard of - starring Jimmy Durante and a trained squirrel named Rupert as himself, it’s 1950’s The Great Rupert (a.k.a. A Christmas Wish)! We discuss Durante’s cartoon legacy, list other famous The Greats, and Bierman eats candy! Plus - haven’t we invited Michael Winslow on the podcast before?
