It’s our 150th episode, our seventh anniversary, and someone’s birthday! Charlotte and Beth rewatch one of their favourite episodes, The Rebel Set, with the short, Johnny at the Fair. They reminisce about visiting Chicago, Toronto, Winnipeg, the Canadian National Exhibition, and Hellzapoppin’.
The Rebel Set (Gene Fowler Jr, 1959): MST3K Wiki. IMDb. Trailer.
Johnny at the Fair (Jack Olsen, 1947): IMDb.
Edward Platt might look familiar. (And of course, the other actor is Don Adams.)
The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919.
Crow’s itinerary (without Evanston). If he left off the ballpark, he could almost make it.
The Art Institute of Chicago is worth spending well more than four hours in.
Gurnee vs. Gurney.
The Ren Faire in Kenosha.
New baseball rules.
The CNE is the Canadian National Exhibition, which is usually called The Ex.
David Foster: Flight of the Snowbirds.
Weirdly, we haven’t done Earth vs. the Spider, Tormented, or Attack of the Giant Leeches, so stay tuned for our Summer of Gene Roth!
You can hear Charlotte and Chris and friends talk about The Greatest Story Ever Told if you support us on Patreon.
Carey Loftin, stunt driver.
Charles Pachter, artist.
The Journals of Susanna Moodie.
The secret life of William Lyon Mackenzie King.
(Beth’s plot summary of Hellzapoppin’ is slightly inaccurate, but not in any imporant way.)
Duck Amuck.
The Lindy Hop scene from Hellzapoppin’. Heck, if you search YouTube hard enough, you might find even more…
Martha Raye for Polident.
Our episode on I Was A Teenage Werewolf.
Portland Exposé (Harold D. Schuster, 1957).
Phil Stanford: Portland Confidential.
