It's A Podcast, Charlie Brown

In the 1980s, Charles Schulz and his son Monte Schulz set out to create the "Citizen Kane" of Peanuts specials. The result was 1988's IT'S THE GIRL IN THE RED TRUCK, CHARLIE BROWN.  In this special, scripted by the two Schulzes, we find animated cartoon Spike wandering around live-action Needles, California - ala "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" - where he meets up with Jenny, played by Schulz daughter Jill Schulz. There's lots of driving around in the titular red truck, falling aluminum cans and...gunfire?  "Citizen Kane"? Well, you can decide for yourself.  We've also got Peanuts news, another "Random Strip of the Month" and a "Peanuts by Schulz" short called "No Strings Attached". So finish your popcorn, strap on your roller skates (you'll understand after the episode) and boogie on over to episode 39! Thanks to Henry Pope for his "Linus & Lucy" remix.
