Description
What happens when a brand mascot transitions? Cracker Jack - one of the original junk foods, and a brand that has been part of American culture since the late 19th century, most famously in the song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" - became Cracker Jill earlier in 2022. This week we're watching the awkward middle child of the Gene Kelly/Frank Sinatra MGM musicals, TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME (1949). We dig into the awkward racial & gender politics of the film, then improvise our own Australian version of Cracker Jack and eat it live on the show as we dig into the Cracker Jill scandal and what we can learn from it.
