The next film in our vampire sub-season is the first talkie: 1931’s DRACULA. We do some reviewing, some not-always-favourable comparison with NOSFERATU, and then talk about late-Victorian culture, temporal distance, and the fact that there are two very different sorts of vampire film.
S2E45 – Half Man, Half Rooster
Bugs has a second run in with Gossamer, Sylvester is cemented as a terrible legend in mouse folklore, and we ask some difficult questions about Foghorn Leghorn.

Bugs and Yosemite Sam go head to head in the California Gold Rush, Pepé joins the foreign legion, and we meet a couple of fun new cats.

S2E41 – Nice Fat Little Butterball
As Bugs returns to just dossing about, Sylvester inadvertently reveals a terrifying progression in Tweety’s eldritch powers.
