Polarizing Polar: An Exploitation Film For the Modern Viewer
In the shadow of towering film production companies lived dozens of grindhouses, genres, and low-budget films deemed too “unclean” for the modern film audience.
Rolie Polie Olie: Happy Hearts Day (2001)
Rolie Polie Olie, winner of the 2000 Emmy Award for outstanding special class animated program, presents a trio of episodes--one of which is perfect for Valentine's Day. In "Happy Hearts Day," Olie and Billy turn up their noses at Zowie's extensive preparations for "Gooey Hearts Day." When Mrs. Polie sets up a play date with the new neighbor girl, Polie Pi, the boys are initially begrudging. A quick bite by the "looove bug" soon has the boys competing with one another and showing off to impress Polie Pi, but this results in Polie Pi feeling sad and left out. "Top Dog Fish" finds Olie and Zowie enamored with the class fish they're caring for over the weekend and has pet dog Spot desperately begging for attention. In "Mom's Night Out," Mrs. Polie is off for a few sets of bowling while Pappy and the kids have a barbeque in the back yard. After promising not to leave a mess, the trio decides to make a 17-layer cake that leaves the kitchen in a shambles.
