Episode 410: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

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 Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), a hard boiled detective 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. It’s a story of intrigue, murder, and animation. Special guest Gary K. Wolf, author of the source novel, along with guest co-hosts Chris Stachiw and Axel Kohagen, join Mike to discuss the film.
