Episode 410: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Special Guest: Gary K. Wolf
Guest Co-Hosts: Chris Stachiw, Axel Kohagen

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is based very loosely on a book by Gary K. Wolf. It tells the tale of hard-boiled detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) who gets hired by the head of a movie studio, R.K. Maroon, to take some photos of our titular Roger Rabbit’s wife (Kathleen Turner) playing patty cake with the head of a place called Toontown. Produced by Steven Spielberg, it’s a story of intrigue, murder, and animation.

Chris Stachiw (Kuture Shocked) and Axel Kohagen (Super True Stories) join Mike to discuss the film, the proposed sequel, and Gary K. Wolf's original book.
