Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Hollywood, 1988. Director Robert Zemeckis, along with producer Stephen Spielberg, somehow convinces Disney to bankroll a live-action/animation hybrid containing a plethora of characters from rival studios, lurid film noir plotting and the libido of a teenage boy. How did he do it? What was its effect on blockbuster cinema? And who did set-up that little cartoon leporid? All of this and more will be explored in this episode, as the Ramblin boys - joined by Anton film executive Jack Buckley - crack open the case file for ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ and examine the gloriously bizarre delights within. So hop in Bennie, the cartoon taxicab, and join us for the ride!
