Renée Colvert & Allegra Ringo (hosts of Can I Pet Your Dog?) join us for a slog through 1972's Snoopy Come Home, an ardously strained metaphor for divorce that tanked at the box office & traumatized thousands of children in the home video market. Talking points: putting a regular special through a taffy pull; 1972's hot new "tear animating" technology; Thurl Ravenscroft, human leitmotif; the big Sherman Brothers conspiracy; an unbroken 5 minutes of Snoopy beating up children; Ali MacGraw disease, Munchausen By Proxy, & the Allegra Ringo effect; laughing & crying at the same time, while cutting one's own hair; anxiety-drenched zen perfection.
