In this episode of Looney Tunes reviews, I explore the classic short 'Curtain Razor' alongside guest Manny Cruz. Released on May 21, 1949, this 556th instalment in the series features Porky Pig as a talent agent evaluating quirky and sometimes subpar acts for an upcoming show. Directed by Friz Freleng, the short showcases the impressive vocal talents of Mel Blanc, especially through characters like the operatic grasshopper and the iconic Al Jolson duck impression. With glimpses into its Warner Bros. heritage and references to similar works like Daffy Duck’s Fantastic Island, we delve into the various acts and vocal performances, including a debate on the cartoon's humour and lasting impact. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:40 Curtain Razor Overview 02:08 Celebrity References and Gags 04:31 Porky's Character Analysis 07:24 Voice Acting Insights 09:26 Musical Moments and Favourites 13:28 Final Thoughts and Ratings 14:31 Conclusion and Sign-off95 episodes
