Ed Wood Wednesdays: The Ed Wood Summit Podcast #26 by Greg Dziawer
Burnt cork makeup plays a major role in the film we are discussing this week.
This week on The Ed Wood Summit Podcast, I'm joined by Joe Blevins to discuss Ron Ormond's infamous 1951 blackface film Yes Sir, Mr Bones. While there's no suggestion that Ed Wood had anything to do with this film, it is well-known to be the source of the "comic" routine playing in the theatre immediately before the heist sequence in Ed's Jail Bait (1954).
Note: Due to the controversial nature of this 71-year-old film, we will be discussing subject matter that everyone will find offensive. Please proceed with caution.
Those who wish to check out the film in its entirety can do so here.
