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

In this episode, we delve into the 1951 Looney Tunes short 'Corn Plastered,' directed by Bob McKimson. I am joined by my good friend, @blugenesi, as we discuss the antics between an obnoxious crow and an annoyed farmer. We cover trivia such as the original title 'Schmoe Crow,' the historical propeller hat worn by the crow, and the crow's voice actor, Pat Patrick. We highlight some of the amusing gags while also critiquing the short's overall execution. Ultimately, we find the short watchable but forgettable. Tune in to hear our detailed thoughts and let us know if you agree!
