Video version available on YouTube. Please note that certain sections may not translate well to the audio only format. 

In this episode, we review the Looney Tunes short 'Fractured Leghorn' released on September 16, 1950, and reissued in 1958. Foghorn Leghorn faces off with a cat over a worm, deviating from the usual characters like the Barnyard Dog and Henry Hawk. We discuss Bob McKimson's direction,  and some fun trivia including a George Washington reference. Joined by guest Matt Hunter, we explore the characteristics of the short, its humour, and its unique elements, ultimately rating it highly for its comedic value.
