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

In this episode, I review the Looney Tunes short 'Big House Buddy', released on April 22, 1950, and directed by Friz Freleng. Alongside my friend @blugenesi, we dive into the cartoon's plot where Bugs Bunny ends up in SingSong Prison while trying to escape hunters. We discuss the theme, classic gags, and notable moments, including the humorous wordplay between Bugs and prison guard Yosemite Sam. Trivia such as references to Billy Gray's character on the Abbott and Costello radio show and SingSing Prison is mentioned.
