a podcast just dropped reviewing The Day the Earth Blew up!! spoiler warning for plot details of course. posting to get more eyes on it and also because some things stood out to me that i just wanted to archive, UGHHHH i need to see this movie! spoilers under the cut

he describes it as a "Porky Pig movie" which I AM SO HAPPY FOR. i've been saying for awhile now that i so so so so so hope this movie puts Porky back in the public conscious

"you know, whenever doing a Looney Tunes project, Bugs Bunny's the main character, and i realize, actually, Porky Pig is much more perfect for that."

"that's why it's a Porky Pig movie, it's mainly his character development"

evidently Daffy is responsible for Porky's stutter by dropping a bowling ball on his head:

"[as babies] Porky is reading a book, and he's reading with this very eloquent diction, and then Daffy by accident pushes a bowling ball on his head and Porky starts to stutter, and Daffy is like 'ooo' and just moves away"

praises for its usage of Powerhouse, used in tandem with a "psychedelic sequence"

"i really love that part of the story is how Porky learns to appreciate Daffy for being daffy"

compares Daffy to his persona in A Pest in the House, sort of talking about how he causes problems but doesn't have any sort of ill will, he's just out of his gourd and doesn't know he's causing issues

no other LT characters except Daffy, Porky, and Petunia, as well as about "2 other cameos" [one of them being Beans]

there's a bit in the trailer where Porky and Daffy strike The Pose, and it is indeed confirmed that this starts up a mini-LT short of sorts where they try various odd jobs to get the money to fix their house. was speculating that this is the case AND I AM SO HAPPY IT IS.

WHOLE THING IS WORTH LISTENING TO, there's more but these are some of the things that caught my eye the most. i need this movie

#OK. some thoughts. spoilers so tread with caution #ltc #tdtebu #but the comparisons to A Pest in the House and Porky learning to just let Daffy be daffy (capital D?) are very hard hitting for me #i figured the story would be like that BUT. APitH was my first Daffy short as an adult yadda yadda i’ve said this before #and why i resonated so strongly with him and that short was because he was being so obnoxious and i could relate so much to it #genuinely a true to life cartoon. interpret that as you will #but it hit me so hard because i was like ‘if i can get this much pleasure and amazement and humor and this lust for I Need To See More and #he’s acting this way? then maybe…. it’s okay for me to be me… and people will like me just for that… idiosyncrasies and all’#Daffy very much helped me sort of really embrace myself and just like. be OKAY with myself. warts and all #and that’s why i relate to him so much as well because i can relate to some of the less desirable traits as well! and so it’s just an all #encompassing I Feel This I Feel You #and so i like that he mentions APitH and this little story beat because both apply to me intriguingly personally
