Listen "071 - Celluloid Invasion: The Jungle Book (1942)"
Episode Synopsis
Deep in the heart of the jungle, danger stirs, treasure calls, and Mowgli walks a line between man and animal. Welcome, Strangers, to Celluloid Invasion by My Mama Done Told Me!This time, Jeff, Lauren, and the one and only Mama Kathy journey deep into the Technicolor jungle of The Jungle Book (1942)—a well-shot nature documentary-turned Hollywood movie before the time of CGI and green screens. We’re talking imperialist agendas, jungle justice, hypnotic snakes, and the wildest gold fever you’ve ever seen—plus the deeply ridiculous tradition of white actors playing non-white roles (and doing it badly)CREDITS FOR JUNGLE BOOK (1942)CONNECT WITH THE FAMILYEmail: [email protected]: @mymamadonetoldmepodcast Facebook: /mymamadonetoldmeYouTube: @MyMamaDoneToldMePodcast TikTok: @mymamadonetoldme X/Twitter: @MyMamaDoneTold#MyMamaDoneToldMePodcast #MyMamaDoneToldMe #Podcast #PublicDomain #CultClassic #JungleBook1942 #ClassicWeirdness #CelluloidInvasion #TechnicolorChaos #ProblematicCasting #MowgliMadness
