Who Framed Roger Rabbit is Great! - Talking About Tapes

Tony, Newt, and Crystal get together to revisit the class Who Framed Roger Rabbit!
In this Podcast/Movie Review of Who Framed Roger Rabbit they will cover all the things that make it great. Like the ground breaking animation, the amazing performances by the cast, and the hilarious script.
Down-on-his-luck private eye Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) gets hired by cartoon producer R.K. Maroon (Alan Tilvern) to investigate an adultery scandal involving Jessica Rabbit (Kathleen Turner), the sultry wife of Maroon's biggest star, Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer). But when Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye), Jessica's alleged paramour and the owner of Toontown, is found murdered, the villainous Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) vows to catch and destroy Roger.

They actually give you a pretty good clue as to Judge Doom's true form. Rewatch the scenes in RK Maroon's office and pay attention to the cartoon posters on the wall. Every poster features a character you see in the movie (Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman, etc.) except for one: there's a poster of a mysterious cartoon character named Pistol Packin' Possum holding the same gun Doom shot Maroon with later in movie. And in that first scene in the office, PPP's gun is always pointing at Maroon. Once you notice it, you can't unsee it.

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

I can picture that poster, never thought about it like that. Nice. I think in the book he shot Bambi's mom

As an Italian, I'm definitely with Tony on Bob Hoskins being cast as Mario. Newt, while John Leguizamo is mostly Puerto Rican/Colombian, he is actually partially of Italian descent through his father. That and, as a massive fan of his, I'll allow it.

Hey Guys and Gal! A few things to mention here for ya! First of all, I love the show! 2nd: Newt, I had the same toys back when I was growing up, and I also remembered a story book+cassette tape thingy. It was a red tape and my brothers and I recorded over it loooong ago. Kinda wish we hadn't now. Lol Tony, I am totally with you about the Mario "situation". I am not Italian, but as a Mario Brothers fan, I am 100% behind you there. And now, 3rd (best for last) Crystal, you are the most beautiful Jessica Rabbit I ever saw. If it were a Holly Wood (Cool World) VS Jessica Rabbit (WFRR) You as the live Jessica Rabbit beats ANY Holly ANY time! You guys are awesome! Thanks for some refreshing/quality entertainment in these dark times!

I think it was from the scene just after they get to the bar and go into the secret room in the back and Eddie shows Roger the photo of Acme’s will. I was too young to read that fast so my Dad had to feed me the lines.

The public transportation being bought out by Cloverleaf actually mirrored what happened in LA in real life around the same time. A syndicate of auto related manufacturers (Firestone is the main one that comes to mind) bought out the Red Car public transport and got rid of it, essentially turning LA into a car town, reliant on freeways.

[@cthulhupthagn5771]

In the book, when cartoons talk they actually cause talk bubbles to appear. So every time Rodger says something Eddie has to take it down and fold it up and put it to the side. That alone would have pushed the budget for this movie through the roof. I'm trying to remember, I don't have the book I only have the sequel. It seems like the author of the book didn't really get a lot out of the movie adaptation financially, if I remember correctly the last I saw he was struggling to get the books reprinted. I can tell you in the sequel Eddie is dating Jessica sister, who is a 6in tall duplicate of herself

I remember that story Newt was talking about but it wasn't a record, just the book.

It was all part of a storyline where someone was destroying Batman things.
