On DVD: Caught in a Ham (2019)

Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham, stars in his very first short, "Caught in a Ham", included on the "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse" DVD we reviewed a week ago.

Spider-Ham (John Mulaney) is captured by a villain, but what follows is a wacky homage to a certain rival studio's former flagship brand, including a legendary Chuck Jones piece. See if you can figure it out.



Yes, Chuck Jones would be proud.

Rating: A-.

Yep, in the cinema, Peter Porker is a full-on Looney Tunes homage, right down to him saying "That's all, folks!" as he returns to his home dimension, prompting Peter B. Parker to ask, "Is he allowed to say that, legally?".

I have to go back to his 80's book to see if that's where it started......
