Who Framed Roger Rabbit (w/ Rebecca Burns)
Manage episode 410417378 series 3441224
Rivka and Frank are joined by journalist Rebecca Burns for a conversation about Robert Zemeckis’ 1988 masterpiece Who Framed Roger Rabbit. They talk about how the film draws inspiration from Los Angeles’ history, like “The Great Red Car Conspiracy” and the Chavez Ravine. They also discuss how the film’s “Toons” serve as a stand-in for LA’s marginalized communities, the incredible technical achievements of the film, the tension between Disney and Warner Bros, and how Bob Hoskins is a sexy little hairy meatball.
- Against the Wind (The American Prospect, 2024)
For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching the 1986 movie musical classic Little Shop of Horrors.
