Donald's Snow Fight

Greetings on this, the first Annual Snowmo Sapiens night! With a potentially historic blizzard in Boston, we present you this very on topic podcast episode about a 1942 Disney short starring Donald Duck.

It’s Donald’s Snow Fight!

Geoffrey remembered this one from his childhood, and this is not exactly an After These Messages, but it is sort of in that spirit, recorded to go with The Dog That Stopped the War.

We get into a BUNCH of stuff with this, from inventing new holidays to discussing François Truffaut’s famous assertion that there’s no such thing as an antiwar film, to the Finnish Ducktales theme, to Splash Mountain and The Song of the South.

So, cozy up in a blanket, build yourself a snowman (or put three ice cubes in an adult beverage), and join us for some anti-clericalism and fornication (okay, only a little mention of that, not the actual deed), ‘cause it’s just six months til Snowmer!
