To celebrate Viv's Birthday she could pick a film to celebrate so she decided on the 1965 western comedy musical ‘Cat Ballou' starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin in an Oscar winning duel role. The story, narrated by Stubby Kaye and Nat King Cole, shows a woman who along with an inebriated gunman is determined to avenge the wrongs that have been done to her family. Tune in and join in the ballad!

An L.A. private eye investigating the murder of a local businessman uncovers a corrupt world of sex, money, and violence. Also, every major American cartoon character from the 20th century shows up at some point. Heavily influenced by films like Chinatown and The Big Sleep and featuring special effects that fully realize the potential of earlier films like Anchors Away and Mary Poppins that mix live acting and animation, this might be the greatest film of the 1980s. (This episode is a little bit of a cheat--we've both seen this film many, many times, but we needed a fill-in episode, and as this was playing in a theater near us this summer, we jumped at the chance to cover it.) Starring Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloydd, Charles Fleischer, Kathleen Turner, Joanna Cassidy, and Stubby Kaye. Directed by Robet Zemeckis. Written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman.

Steve and Alejandro grab their banjos, strap on their chaps and ride off to Wolf City to experience this famous 1965 American Western Comedy starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin. With a supporting cast that includes Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye. Outlaws, gunslingers and a man with a metal nose await our hosts but will this Western charm them or prickle like a cactus? We'll find out. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rememberthatmovie/message

Anniversary Month continues with the 35th anniversary of Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Ben, Sam, and Vaz discuss Robert Zemeckis' blockbuster animation and live action mashup. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Stubby Kaye, and Joanna Cassidy, with the voices of Charles Fleischer and Kathleen Turner.

This is a fun one… (but, they've all been fun for me).  It's  being performed by the immortal Stubby Kaye, or “Unkie” as he's known around our house because he's the great uncle of my daughter-in-law. Her brother is the spitting image of the musical comedy great, which demonstrates the endurance of Stubby's DNA. The other performer on the recording is Mr. Jonny Silver. This jaunty track, composed by one of Broadway's brightest bards, Frank Loesser, is served up with gravity-defying lyrics that are sensuously juicy, surprising, and ever-joyfilled: (“Call is hell, call it heaven, it's a probable 12 to 7, that the guy's only doin' it for some doll!”) Of course, the raw material from Damon Runyon ain't bad, either - a good time was guaranteed to Broadway theatergoers during the season of 1950. Stubby had a bright, clarion voice  - like a cornet - a necessary quality for yesterday's unamplified thespians wanting to hit the back row - and the man performs lustily with his megaphone of mirth. He was a staple of the Great White Way, and this one of a kind performance was captured on film as well. Funny story: I auditioned for a dinner theatre production of Guys and Dolls once - I was responding to an open call in Backstage. I didn't know the title song, but I thought it'd be a fine idea to listen to the recording at the Lincoln Center Library to bone up before attempting it at the appointment. Who was I kidding? These lyrics required a lot more preparation than a couple of silent run-throughs, and when I got in the room and begun: “What's playin' at the Roxy…?” My mind went blank, and I just kept repeating that question, like a mantra, as the flop sweat poured over my eyebrows into my mouth. I was out of my league.

Set in a 1947 version of Hollywood where cartoon characters (commonly referred to as "toons") and people co-exist, the film follows Eddie Valiant, a private investigator hired to help exonerate Roger Rabbit, a toon who has been framed for the murder of the Acme Corporation's owner. Walt Disney Pictures purchased the film rights for the film's story in 1981. Price and Seaman wrote two drafts of the script before Disney brought in executive producer Steven Spielberg and his production company, Amblin Entertainment. Zemeckis was brought on to direct the film while Canadian animator Richard Williams was hired to supervise the animation sequences. Production was moved from Los Angeles to Elstree Studios in England to accommodate Williams and his group of animators. While filming, the production budget began to rapidly expand and the shooting schedule ran longer than expected. The film was released through Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner on June 22, 1988. It received acclaim from critics, who praised its visuals, humor, writing, and performances (particularly Hoskins), with critics and audiences considering it to be "groundbreaking". It grossed over $351 million worldwide, becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 1988. It brought a renewed interest in the Golden age of American animation, spearheading modern American animation and the Disney Renaissance.[7] It won three Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Visual Effects and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for its animation direction by Williams. In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[8][9]

"Well now friends just lend an ear, for you're now about to hear ... the ballad of Cat Ballou!" On this week's episode of We Really Like Her!'s FONDAVISION miniseries, Danita and Emily ride into Wolf City, Wyomin' to hang with the infamous Cat Ballou. How did this zany, 1960s comedy-western (a favourite of Bryan Cranston and the Farrelly Brothers?) get away with giving Lee Marvin two scenery-chewing roles while Jane Fonda (who played the *titular* Cat) an underdeveloped one? Would it have been better as a full-fledged musical with Jane singing alongside the late, great Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye? And which young starlet could play Cat in a reboot where, hopefully, the so-called "wildest gal in the West" actually takes the reins?

Chris and Dave discuss a devastating loss at US Bank stadium. Chris asks Dave the question "Did the Packers lose, or did the Vikings win?", more of a philosophical quandary that is dissected over the majority of the podcast, and the implications of this L moving into the rest of the season. How many injuries can the Packers endure before everything begins to fall apart? Posting its first show in 2005, Packers Therapy is the longest-running Packers podcast on the Internet. Hosts Chris and Dave began the show as a way of capturing the spirited chats the two co-workers had about the team around the office. The two have no pretense about being experts: they are just two opinionated shareholders who love the team, follow it closely, but don't always see the Packers fortunes eye to eye.

Synopsis On an alien planet the of the Chimeron by the merciless Bannermen led by is almost complete. The last survivor, Chimeron Queen Delta, escapes by the skin of her teeth clutching her egg, the future for her species. She makes it to a space tollport where the Navarinos, a race of shape changing tourist aliens, are planning a visit to the planet Earth in 1959 in a spaceship disguised as an old holiday bus. She stows aboard, as does , while the Doctor follows them in the TARDIS. The Doctor and Mel have won the trip as a prize for arriving in the Navarino spaceport at the right time to be declared the ten billionth customers. No sooner has the tourist vehicle blasted away than the Bannermen turn up, ruthlessly hunting down the fugitive, and they kill the Tollmaster when he refuses to co-operate. The holiday vehicle from Nostalgia Tours meets an unfortunate collision with an American space satellite and is diverted off track, landing at a holiday camp in South rather than . However, the basic but cheerful holiday camp is happy to accommodate the visitors led by the ebullient Burton, who assures the travellers of a warm welcome while they wait for the driver, Murray, to repair their innocuous seeming transport. Mel gets close to Delta and uncovers the truth of her situation, including the hatching of the egg into a bright green baby that starts to grow at a startling rate. The Chimeron Queen supports this development with the equivalent of given to bees. Delta tries to take her mind off the situation and goes to the Shangri-La dance, instantly capturing the heart of Billy, the camp's mechanic – and making an enemy of the smitten Rachel (or Ray), who loves Billy herself. Ray confides her situation to the Doctor, and they both stumble across a bounty hunter making contact with the Bannermen to tell them of the Chimeron's whereabouts. It is only a matter of time before Gavrok and his troops arrive. Delta and Billy head off on a romantic countryside ramble the following morning, but the Doctor wastes no time in persuading Burton to evacuate the camp, helping Murray repair the ship, and then heading off to find the young lovers while there is still time. Once they are found, everyone returns to the camp but the situation has become dire. The Bannermen have destroyed the Navarino bus with all its official passengers inside, taking Mel as a hostage, as Gavrok tries to work out how to capture the Chimeron. The Doctor's early attempts to intercede are futile, but he does rescue Burton and Mel from the Bannermen. Two Bannermen are holding prisoner two aging American agents, Hawk and Weismuller, who were tracking the missing satellite when they first arrived. The Bannermen were instructed by Gavrok to wait for the Doctor, Burton and Mel on the side of the road. Just before they left the Americans, they place a joined head lock device to prevent them from escaping. While the two Bannerman were placing a tracker on the Doctor, riding Billy's motorbike with Burton and Mel, in an attempt to disguise an ambush attempt, Ray manages to rescue Hawk and Weismuller head locks with an Allen key. They all make contact with the mysterious beekeeper Goronwy, who hides them for a while in his house. As the two Bannerman find that the Americans have been set free, they track the Doctor's party to Goronwy House. As they were closing in to the house, the Chimeron child Princess made a high pitched scream of warning which traumatised the ears of the two Bannermen, allowing Delta was able to shoot one of them, while the other escaped to inform Gavrok of the location of Delta and the Princess. At Shangri-La, before leaving to attack Goronwy House, Gavrok booby-trapped the outside of the in an attempt to kill the Doctor. As Gavrok and his Bannermen approached Goronwy House shooting, and crashing into the rock-and-roll-music-filled house, only to have honey broken over them in the process. This then set Goronwy's bees on the honey-covered Bannermen. In the meanwhile, the Doctor and his party made it to Shangri-La to set up a defence. Billy rigged up the Shangri-La sound system to amplify the perfectly pitched scream of the Chimeron child Princess – a sound which is excruciatingly painful to Bannermen. Goronwy explains to Billy the purpose of royal jelly in the lifecycle of the honeybee, provoking the mechanic to consume Delta's equivalent that she has been feeding her daughter, in the hope of metamorphosing into a Chimeron. As Gavrok and his band of Bannermen attack Shangri-La, the amplified scream of the Chimeron princess traumatised the attackers, including Gavrok, who becomes so stunned that he falls into the beam of the booby-trap he placed on the TARDIS and is incinerated. Other Bannermen are so traumatised that they are easily rounded up. Delta and Billy leave together with the child and the prisoners, heading for an intergalactic war crimes tribunal. To their delight, The Doctor shows Hawk and Weismuller the missing satellite nearby. All is well and the next bus of holidaymakers, this time human, arrive at Shangri-La as the Doctor and Mel slip away.

The serial, with the working title, The Flight Of The Chimeron, was originally scheduled to end the season. However, as the serial neared production, Langford had not yet decided whether she would leave at the end of Season 24 or during Season 25; that, plus the rescheduling of Delta and the Bannermen to earlier in the season and the decision by script editor to create another replacement companion named Alf (later renamed 'Ace'), led to the idea of Ray as a new companion being abandoned.
