Episode 506: Song of the South (1946) and Coonskin (1975)

February 18, 2020 01:39 - 2 hours - 90.2 MB

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm continuing on my series of Patreon Picks with an episode courtesy of TWoRP Elite Patron Hutch. Now Hutch decided he wanted to talk about the controversial 1946 Disney film Song of the South. I figured if we were going to awkwardly discuss one Uncle Remus film we may as well go all-in by including Ralph Bakshi's 1975 no hold barred response to minstrelry and corruption - Coonskin.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm kicking off 2020 with a science fiction double-feature of subconscious shrieks courtesy of a Patreon Pick from TWoRP Legionnaire Tom B. Tom requested I take a look at 1956's Forbidden Planet and I opted to pair it with 1981's Galaxy of Terror. One is a bonafide classic in the genre. The other is a sleazy Alien rip-off best known for a scene involving a nekkid lady and a giant maggot. This should be interesting. [00:00] INTRO [02:02] ...
