443: Harold and the Purple Crayon

Episode notes

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a lovely, enduring children’s classic (if you’ve never encountered it, have Steve Buscemi read it to you!) — did Hollywood treat it with gentleness and respect, when they decided to use it as the jumping-off point for the movie “Harold and the Purple Crayon?” The answer may not surprise you!

The LIVE tapings of season 2 of FlopTV end TONIGHT with TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze! But a season pass gets out access to the full line-up thru the end of February! And hey, while you’re clicking on stuff, why not subscribe to our NEWSLETTER, “Flop Secrets?!”
