Speedy Gonzales has been beloved by Mexican American's for years, but recently there are have been discussions around his problematic nature and origin resulting in a column written by LA Times contributing writer Gustavo Arellano, so I asked him to join me in discussing this complex history. He agreed!

This Episode was originally recorded in December of 2020 and I held it off until new Space Jam: A New Legacy promotion started as we discuss the history of the Space Jam Franchise!
Dan Romanelli is the man behind Warner Brothers Consumer Products and who allowed Bugs Bunny and Batman into Six Flags Theme Parks across the world! He brings a lot of stories to the show and I'm so thankful for the one regarding a Warner Brothers Store that was located in one of the Twin Towers during 9/11 that stood tall after the attacks.
Come along as we explore his legacy as well as examine a true Chuck Jones classic in Frigid Hare which introduced the Playboy Penguin.
Shorts Discussed: Frigid Hare (1949)
Characters introduced into The World of Mayhem: Snow Bunny
Bugs Bunny in drag!
Louis De Guzman has created an incredible piece of art that went on sale in December and sold out immediately! Check out his site for more info on how to get your hands on one of these fabulous scuptures!

We finally have some new detail on Space Jam: A New Legacy thanks to Entertainment Weekly and their April Issue! In part to new images being released, Lola Bunny has caught some controversy which set Twitter ablaze and on those heels, Pepe Le Pew was a hot topic across the internet after Deadline reported a scene with him was cut out of the new film. In this week's episode, I'm joined once again by the talented singer/songwriter Reina Mora (see LOLA IN SPAAAAAAACE!) and John Carmack, a friend from college and the CEO of VEGIFY also stops by for some much needed insight to discuss these topics and more!
Congratulations to the Warner Brother's Animation Team on their Annie Awards! Especially, Jim Soper (character design) and Andrew Dickman (Storyboard Artist) for Looney Tunes Cartoons!
