Ep 12 - Laughter’s The Best Medicine Pt 03 & Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Rufus may have gotten Alice’s three hundred grand from the P.O. Box, but now he’s got a henchman holding him at gunpoint. Can our hapless hero make it out of this captive situation and get back to his new love without taking any more lead in his belly? Find out in the exciting conclusion of “Laughter’s the Best Medicine”!

And this week we’re talkin toons! “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” seamlessly blends the conventions of a noir story with the antics and humor of classic Warner Brothers and Disney cartoons. You’ve got Bob Hoskins as the hard drinking gumshoe Eddie Valiant going up against a band of gangster weasels and a certain buxom redheaded femme fatale named Jessica Rabbit who’s about as far from a Disney Princess as you can get without falling off a cliff in a puff a smoke Wile E. Coyote style. So join us as we talk about this smart mix of film noir and cartoon chaos.

Ep 14 - Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

It’s road trip time listeners! We’ve got a deep dive into the grittiest, strangest road trip movie of the 70’s. It’s part violent crime story, part love triangle, part buddy comedy and maybe even part Greek Myth. Featuring a legendary lead performance from the criminally underutilized Warren Oates, this is one of Sam Peckinpah’s most divisive (and best!) movies. And it’s the only one that features a decapitated head in a picnic basket.
