200. 'You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown' (1972)
Manage episode 439455244 series 2577667
After two episodes about 'The Shining' and a couple weeks wondering what to do for Episode 200 of the podcast....events at the Presidential Debate pointed me in the direction of 'Peanuts' and the relatively terror-free childhood presented specifically in the 1972 Election special 'You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown'.
In this Special, Charlie Brown neither runs for office nor is or isn't elected. But the satirical pleasures abound otherwise in this still-incisive takedown of political and campaign mores and realities.
As ever, the incredible music of Vince Guaraldi and his Trio provide accompaniment. Musings range far and wide in this episode.
Thank you for listening for 200 episodes!
