Bedtime for Bonzo

Friend of the show and the intelligence behind Clattertron and
Foxes & Boxes, Daniel J. Hogan suggested this week’s film.
Surely he’s chose it out of some sort of patriotism because it
stars the commander in chief, Ronald Reagan. Oh, it also stars a
chimpanzee. Pet Sounds Radio host Sarah Hoyles kindly joined us
as well. We didn’t learn until the day of the show that she
rarely watches films with animals! It was a pleasure to see
things from her perspective. We hope you’ll listen to learn more.


Don’t worry if you’re falling from an 8 story building, the
Browder Life Safety Net will certainly break you in much more
interesting way than the ground.

Sarah reminds us of The Bear. Sorry for the spoilers, but it
is 30 years old.

Let’s not hurt animals in film Leonardo DiCaprio.

Who is the moustached character in the photo? Is it Rappin’
Ronnie?

Our show is not brought to you by 23andMe. Instead, we’re
funded by listeners like yourself. And our moms.

Chris thinks this film is a precursor to Three’s Company.

Meanwhile, Dan points out that it may actually be the
predecessor to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Bonzo is to be sold! What? Can’t we make money in the
Iran-Contra affair instead?

Chris steals a joke from Noises Off and it gets awkward.

Dan reminds us, as does the film, to study our Freud.

There’s a sequel? Oh no, Bonzo Goes to College.

Bonzo was played by Peggy the chimpanzee. There’s a nice page
here on this beautiful creature.

Dan shares this wisdom from actor Dick Miller, if a chimp
gets aggressive, bite him. He heard this story on another
podcast, but their archives are behind a paywall.

Tippi Hedren, the mom of Melanie Griffith, founded The Roar
Foundation to provide sanctuary for mistreated exotic animals,
educate the public and advocate for legislation.

The insane trailer for Tippi Hedren’s film Roar. As it
states, no animals were harmed in making the film but 70 of the
cast and crew were.

The 80s film that was far more than teenage angst, Project X,
with Matthew Broderick and Helen Hunt.

Movies from the past are an insight to the culture of their
time. Eww, that Elivs film we watched.

Can’t stop, won’t stop watching Leave It to Beaver.

Dan suggests a few podcasts, Star Wars Minute, The Dollop,
and The Adventure Zone.
