Radio Daze: Jack Benny Does “Snow White” And “The Hound Of The Baskervilles” For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! Welcome to another edition of Radio Daze! In honor of Disney’s release of the new “Snow White” film, I thought it would be fun to feature Jack Benny’s take on the classic film. From 1938, Jack Benny and his gang put on a riotus version of the classic Disney tale titled “Snow White And The Seven Gangsters.” It’s one of the Jell-O era’s funniest offerings and features one of the longest sustained laughs from the audience in radio history (you’ll know it when you hear it.) A few months later, Jack and the gang performed their version of Sherlock Holmes “The Hound Of The Baskervilles.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle probably wasn’t figuring on this type of adaptation of his work. Both shows will tickle your funny bone! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: It’s Old Radio Time With “The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun in the form of “Sherlock Holmes.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary detective has been featured in books, films, and television, but one of the most popular mediums used was that of old radio. The two episodes I feature here are from November of 1945 and feature the famous team of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holmes and Watson. They were probably the most popular duo of actors to play the roles, having essayed the roles on both film and radio. In honor of “Enola Holmes 2” enjoy some classic detective old radio on these newly cold evenings! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: A Little Sherlock In Honor Of “Enola Holmes”
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with another couple of old radio classics, this time featuring the legendary Sherlock Holmes. After all, Netflix is releasing the excellent “Enola Holmes” today so why not give you a taste of the classic old radio programs of yesteryear to get you in the mood. Check them out below and feel free to comment either below or on Facebook! So Sayeth The Kendog!
