Warner Bros. Animation concept films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Coyote vs. Acme (2026) and Who Frame Roger Rabbit (1988), two live action and animated cross over films with characters from the Warner Brothers Animation back catalogue. We start by discussing our reactions to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. We move to the latest film, Coyote vs. Acme, and acknowledge what a simiar film it is to Roger Rabbit. We discuss the tumultuous history of Coyote vs. Acme, including the almost tax write off shelving and then how the film saw a wide release. We talk about the Intellectual Property of both Warner Brothers and Disney, and marvel at the range of characters that show up in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. We wonder at the absence of Kathleen Turner's lack of credit as Jessica Rabbit. We finish by praising both films for their technical and cinematic prowess.
Jamie, Jimmy and Bob dip into the script to the revolutionary 1988 masterpiece Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
ACME Sucks! But you already knew that. In this edition of the Rough Cut we watched Coyote vs Acme, a real-life David and Goliath story. Famed toon Wile E. Coyote finally sues Acme over their faulty product and unwittingly blows the lid off a major conspiracy within the corporate giant. Coyote vs Acme is directed by Dave Green and stars Will Forte, Lana Candor, John Cena, and Eric Bauza. This episode has it all: Friendship! Trying your best! Consumer protections! Our recommendations: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988), Jellystone (2021-2025), The Day the Earth Blew Up (2024).

An underdog story both onscreen and in real life, COYOTE VS. ACME is a hybrid animation/live-action movie in the vein of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? or SPACE JAM. Its premise is simple and elegant: what if Looney Tunes' Wile E. Coyote sued the Acme corporation for selling him all those malfunctioning products that kept him from catching the *beep beep* Road Runner. Physical media and animation enthusiast Conor Holt returns for his third visit to the podcast to talk about the film, its wildly convoluted journey to the screen after being completed -- and nearly deleted -- by Warner Brothers, and the charming New Yorker piece by reporter and humorist Ian Frazier (Paradise Bronx) that inspired the whole darn thing. If you'd like to hear Conor's previous short story selection for BTTM, you should check out Better Than the Movie 25: THE DEAD w/ Conor Holt. It's a lovely discussion of John Huston's final film, based on a story from James Joyce's Dubliners.

Tamzyn and Miranda take on Coyote vs. Acme, the Looney Tunes movie that almost disappeared into a Warner Bros. vault. With a little Who Framed Roger Rabbit magic, a whole lot of ACME chaos and just about every Looney Tunes character you can think of, Tamzyn may have found a new favourite.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#221 "Author, Podcaster, Game Designer" - Podcast Show Notes & Summary 9-12-26 Quick Summary Tim walks in barely held together and introduces himself as author, podcaster, and game designer — because he just dropped a playable HTML prototype of his Color Clash-inspired dual-grid RTS into the Fork Discord. The ring actually lands on Life first: Nate's kids demand VR mid-show, California is an air fryer, lane-splitters want six inches of courtesy, and both households are eating unexpected bills. Then the game firehose opens — Sony tells a courtroom that reasonable consumers know they don't own digital games, Xbox Cloud gets a 15-hour Ultimate cap, Nintendo dumps a Zelda 40th and a second Direct in two days, Ocarina of Time remake looks like a stop-motion maquette, Metroid Ravenous is metal as hell, and Kojima's canceled Sony IP is now an Xbox game. Entertainment is Coyote vs. Acme beating Warner Bros. at its own gag, Chad Powers season two sneaking back from the dead, Spider-Noir winning Emmys then getting canceled, and Nick Offerman as Big the Cat. Tech is Mac Studio M5 Max sticker shock, Apple's September event, the iPhone Duo foldable, and John Ternus's first week as CEO. Classic four-and-a-half-hour Fork: family chaos, Sony fumbles, Nintendo cooking, and Tim finally putting a game on the table. Detailed Show Notes

After nearly becoming a Hollywood tax write-off, Coyote vs. Acme finally escaped the Warner Bros. vault—and Rob "Rubber Duck" Grabowski joins Matt and Bob to decide whether the movie was actually worth saving. The guys break down the bizarre journey that nearly kept the film from ever being released, why a courtroom drama starring Wile E. Coyote works better than it has any right to, and how the movie manages to find genuine heart inside decades of ACME explosions, falling anvils, and failed Road Runner schemes. They debate whether the movie should have leaned even harder into Will Forte's brand of absurd comedy, how it stacks up against Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam, which Looney Tunes cameos actually work, and the surprisingly emotional relationship between Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Plus: Is it “Meep Meep” or “Beep Beep”? Does Rob actually hate Dune? Why didn't Bob Odenkirk show up in an Albuquerque courtroom? And which cartoon character is everyone most attracted to? Somehow, a movie about a cartoon coyote suing ACME turns into a conversation about corporate Hollywood, failure, friendship, persistence, and why sometimes you should just release the damn movie.
WB tried to bury this movie for a tax write-off. Fans and the director raised their voices and now Coyote vs. Acme has been unleashed! Was the rescue worth it? This week the Boyz tackle the almost never-released Coyote vs. Acme in an early release spoiler-free episode. Filmed in 2022, pic tested through the roof but then David Zaslav's newly-merged Warner Bros. Discovery shelved it as a tax write-off in 2023, the same fate that had already erased Batgirl (terms? Never to be shown in any way shape or form after the write off). This time, fans revolted loud enough that WB shopped the finished film instead of destroying it, and Ketchup Entertainment picked it up for theatrical release. Cupcake and WillDaBeast give you the verdict: was the fight and the fan rescue worth it? Wile E. Coyote hires personal injury lawyer Will Forte to sue the Acme Corporation for a lifetime of exploding products, and what follows is part courtroom satire, part love letter to Looney Tunes, stacked with cameos for longtime fans. With a cast including Lana Condor, John Cena, Martha Kelly, Louis Guzmán, and PJ Byrne, is this live-action/animation hybrid , in the spirit of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, the perfect end of summer screwball comedy with biting legal satire and toothy commentary about corporate overlords? Or is it a nostalgia grab. Does it work for kids who've never seen a Looney Tunes short? Check out the Boyz as they tell you WHY you need to get your butt in a seat this week to help this movie have legs and strike back at those who would tried to erase this movie from history.- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center https://tr.ee/j7RkZlFOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

Jason Fraley celebrates the 45th anniversary of the neo-noir classic “Body Heat" by flashing back to his convo with Kathleen Turner for the 2019 Arena Stage Gala in Washington D.C. Turner shares what it was like to work with director Lawrence Kasdan on “Body Heat,” John Huston on “Prizzi's Honor,” Francis Ford Coppola on “Peggy Sue Got Married,” and Robert Zemeckis on “Romancing the Stone” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
Every great filmmaker gets one Mulligan. Ridley Scott's futuristic thriller "The Dog Stars" is his. Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin star in a poorly paced and overly familiar post-apocalyptic nightmare about survivalists who face grisly dangers after a flu pandemic. There are impressive individual sequences, but “The Dog Stars” plays like scenes cobbled together instead of a cohesive whole. The hybrid cartoon and live action farce "Coyote vs. Acme" wants to be "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" but is a bit closer to "Space Jam." Wile E. Coyote and his lawyer Will Forte sue Acme Corporation for defective products used in Coyote's endless pursuit of the Road Runner. While there are more laughs in a typical 7-minute Looney Tunes short, "Coyote vs. Acme" is a likable low-key poke at corporate America. If you're one of the people who thought Barney the Dinosaur was a little creepy, the horror flick "Buddy" should send a shudder up your spine. In this tongue-in-cheek creep fest, a malevolent unicorn character lures children into its TV realm to absorb their souls. While satirical, “Buddy” goes full-blooded horror and provides just enough chills for the midnight movie crowd. The gloomy Netflix thriller "The Whisper Man," based on a novel by Alex North, wants to be "Silence of the Lambs," but can't quite emulate that classic's impact. Robert De Niro plays a former cop who tries to help his son Adam Scott recover his son who is kidnapped by a serial killer. Michael Keaton is an imprisoned murderer who is manipulating everything from behind bars. The cast is fine, but “The Whisper Man's” overall impact is lessened by some head scratching lapses in logic.

Disney have almost exclusively hit it out of the park with their live action meets animation films. They’ve got: Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. And then there’s Pete’s Dragon. To be fair, it’s a respectable attempt to recapture the magic of some of those movies with a much reduced budget, but … Continue reading "494: Pete’s Dragon [1977] Movie Discussion"

Despite being released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit remains the pinnacle of blending 2D animation with live action photography. Set in Hollywood after World War II, it follows Detective Eddie Valiant as he unravels the murder mystery involving famed toon Roger Rabbit, his wife Jessica Rabbit, and the terrifying villain Judge Doom. It's also famous for bringing together, for the first time, Disney and Warner Bros. characters like Donald and Daffy Duck, plus Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. Next week we'll look at a not as good live action/animation hybrid, and the week after that one of the worst to do it in the lead up to Coyote VS ACME.

The popcorn courtroom is back in session. Last week we proved Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the lost third film of the Chinatown trilogy. This week the defense calls its star witness: Gary K. Wolf, the man who wrote Who Censored Roger Rabbit and invented the very word Toon. He rules on our theory (denied!), endorses a few others (Doom shot Bambi's mother, confirmed), spills the secret history of the six-frame gags Disney hunted down and destroyed, promises justice for the Red Shoe, and tells the story of the blue cow Spielberg hid in Toontown just for him.

What would happen if Disney handed the Magic Our Way hosts the keys to Imagineering and challenged each of us to design a new themed bar experience for Walt Disney World? In this episode, each host takes one park and pitches an original lounge concept complete with its location, backstory, atmosphere, menu, and signature Disney-style moments. For Animal Kingdom, we head into a lively tropical Caipirinha Bar inspired by Brazilian flavors and the park's spirit of exploration. At EPCOT, we travel across the galaxy to the Nowhere Bar, a cosmic lounge inspired by the strange worlds of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hollywood Studios brings back classic animation glamour with the Ink and Paint Club from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. And at Magic Kingdom, an innocent-looking retro arcade in Tomorrowland hides a secret entrance to Tapper's, a neon-filled gathering place inspired by Wreck-It Ralph. These aren't just places to order a drink. They're fully themed attractions designed around storytelling, discovery, interactive effects, and the kind of details that make Disney environments memorable.

Roman Polanski wrote Chinatown as a trilogy, then fled the country before he could finish it. Jack Nicholson salvaged The Two Jakes, but the third script, titled Cloverleaf after the land-grabbing company at its heart, supposedly vanished. Only it didn't. It hit theaters in 1988 wrapped in a toon costume. Same detective setup, same mid-case beatdown, same loyal femme fatale, same wrong-culprit twist, and a plot that secretly hinges on infrastructure, red trolley cars and a freeway land grab. Grab your magnifying glass as we prove Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the lost finale of the Chinatown trilogy. Do you like what we do?

Nick welcomes journalist Monica Eng from Axios Chicago back to the podcast to talk about some of the stories she’s been covering, including great new places to eat in Harbor Country, how police are responding to teen takeovers, the possibility of moving the Pride Parade downtown, refreshing cold soup recipes, and why Lake Michigan stays so unbelievably cold. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to catch up before diving into anthology TV shows like Tales from the Crypt and the creepy Mexican series La Hora Marcada. They also revisit some of the movie and TV moments that traumatized them as kids, and even as adults, including the shoe scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Beast from The Sandlot, and, of course, The Brave Little Toaster.

Chris has gone for an Arnie classic this week. Released in 1988, Red Heat arrived right in the thick of the buddy-cop boom, pairing Arnold Schwarzenegger's granite-faced Soviet policeman with Jim Belushi's wisecracking Chicago detective. Directed, co-written and co-produced by Walter Hill, the film sits somewhere between Cold War curiosity, action thriller, and odd-couple comedy, with Hill bringing his usual muscular, stripped-down approach to men glaring at each other near explosions. The cast also includes Peter Boyle, Ed O'Ross, Laurence Fishburne, Gina Gershon and Brion James, which is a very 1988 way of saying, “Yes, this will involve shouting in warehouses.”Production took the film across Chicago, Los Angeles and Budapest, with Budapest doubling for Moscow, while the filmmakers were also granted approval to shoot establishing material in Moscow's Red Square — noted by the AFI Catalog as a first for an American feature production. The film was released by TriStar Pictures on 17 June 1988, opening to just over $8.1 million domestically and finishing with around $35 million at the US box office. It may not have become the definitive Schwarzenegger classic, but it remains a fascinating VHS-era artefact: Arnie at peak stoicism, Belushi at peak “I've got a leather jacket and a comeback,” and Walter Hill trying to make Cold War geopolitics look like a bar fight.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a world divided by suspicion, steel, and extremely suspicious accents… one man is Moscow's toughest cop. Ivan Danko follows the rules, respects authority, and has the facial expression of a locked filing cabinet.But when a dangerous criminal escapes to the streets of Chicago, Danko is forced into the one partnership more unstable than international diplomacy: teaming up with Art Ridzik, a loudmouth American detective with a badge, a temper, and the dress sense of a man who has personally offended several department stores.Fun FactsRed Heat was released in the same summer as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Die Hard, Big, Coming to America and Rambo III, making 1988 a fairly ridiculous year to compete for action and comedy attention.The film's music was composed by James Horner, who also scored Aliens, Commando, Cocoon, Willow and, later, Titanic. So yes, this film exists in the same musical universe as both xenomorph trauma and Celine Dion-adjacent iceberg sorrow.Laurence Fishburne appears in the film before his major mainstream breakthrough in the 1990s, giving Red Heat a nice bit of “spot the future legend” VHS value.Gina Gershon also appears in an early role, years before becoming a cult favourite through films like Bound and Showgirls.The screenplay is credited to Harry Kleiner, Walter Hill and Troy Kennedy Martin, with Hill also directing and producing, because apparently just directing Schwarzenegger and Belushi wasn't enough paperwork.The movie runs 104 minutes, which is a mercifully efficient length for a film that has to cover Soviet law enforcement, American policing, drug trafficking, culture clash comedy, and Arnold learning how to tolerate Jim Belushi.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

It's so nice that we had to do it twice! Jon revived our first milestone episode (500 episodes ago!), but basically quadrupled it. He asked our former guests to come up with musical moments in non musical television shows and films, and 14 of them responded with various and very fun topics. Most of them were a trip down memory lane.Feel free to jump to different segments. This is a long episode, and we're not sorry about it.

In this engaging episode, we delve into the complexities and nuances of the animated classic "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" The film, released in 1988, serves as a nostalgic cornerstone for many, yet evokes mixed reactions from viewers, as evidenced by our own divergent perspectives. JJ expresses a profound admiration for the film's unique blend of live-action and animation, its rich character portrayals, and the poignancy embedded within its comedic facade. Conversely, Alec articulates a distinct aversion to the film, citing a lack of nostalgic connection and a sense of anxiety it imparts rather than enjoyment. This discussion not only underscores our contrasting viewpoints but also invites listeners to reflect upon their own experiences with this cinematic landmark, exploring themes of nostalgia, humor, and the interplay between childhood memories and adult perceptions.Visit Our Sponsor: https://dubby.gg10% Off Code: OURVERDICTSupport us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us:hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com
Pod Casty for Me week on This Is Your Afterlife concludes with a silly, serious, thorough, and discursive episode with that podcast's other host, Jake Serwin. I'm pleased to say our internet interactions have blossomed into an actual friendship, and I'm not at all insecure about how much I text him after the bit about "Lisa Lampanelli" he does at the top of the episode. Nah nah nah, c'mon, Jake is quick, funny, perceptive, irreverent, and a great hang. Enjoy the second of these episodes with my favorite movie guys who are also political guys.We talk about: toilet humor, being the sibling of a cancer kid, Y2K fear, depression, artful droppings, poststructural theory, ketamine therapy, hyper-vigilance, the poor timing of 9/11, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Old Guard, the Universal Studios backlot tram tour, another Pod Casty hiking memory, what red Gatorade is made for, his movie recs for TIYA listeners.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Pod Casty for Me:https://www.podcastyforme.com/https://patreon.com/PodCastyForMehttps://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/https://twitter.com/podcastyformeFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/
Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you take cartoon chaos and drop it into a gritty detective story that actually works? Who Framed Roger Rabbit might be one of the boldest movie swings of the last 40 years, blending slapstick cartoon madness with a noir mystery in a way that still feels surprisingly smart. We head to Maroon Studios and Cloverleaf Studios to break down why this 1988 classic still feels like a technical achievement, even in a world packed with CGI.We talk about what makes the illusion so convincing, from the practical effects and real-world interactions to the tiny details like shadows, dust trails, and the way the camera treats animated characters like actual actors on a physical set. We also dive into the performances, especially Eddie Valiant's dry frustration playing perfectly against Roger's nonstop chaos. On top of that, we explore how Robert Zemeckis's direction and Alan Silvestri's score give the movie that classic old Hollywood feel while keeping the energy moving.Beyond the filmmaking, we get into the movie's cultural impact. Seeing Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny share the screen feels like a once in a lifetime moment, and we talk about why something like that feels almost impossible today. We also explore the darker side of the film, from Judge Doom and the nightmare fuel of the dip to Eddie's alcoholism and the freeway conspiracy that feels way more relevant than you might expect. By the end, we're asking a bigger question: if you didn't grow up on Looney Tunes or classic Disney cartoons, does Who Framed Roger Rabbit still land the same in the streaming era?If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe, share it with a movie-loving friend, and leave us a five star review to help more people discover the show.Apologies, there is a static sound during some of Anthony's parts.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show
Thirty-five years ago, Steven Spielberg released his updated take on the classic children's story Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie. Arriving in theaters in 1991 with enormous expectations, the film was toplined by four actors at the height of their fame: Robin Williams stars as an aged-up Peter, fresh off Dead Poets Society and Awakenings - and just a year away from Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire; Dustin Hoffman, riding high after his Oscar win for Rain Man, as the titular Captain Hook; Julia Roberts, newly-minted as America's sweetheart after Pretty Woman, donning the wings as Tinkerbell; and Bob Hoskins as Mister Smee, following up his breakout blockbuster Who Framed Roger Rabbit. With a prime Christmas release date and a sweeping John Williams score, the film looked destined to become an instant Spielberg swashbuckling classic. Instead, a famously troubled production - marked by massive (and expensive) sets, shooting that ran 40 days over schedule, and a strained relationship between director Spielberg and ingénue Roberts - resulted in a film that critics were quick to call indulgent and uneven. Spielberg himself later admitted frustration with the project, and despite solid box‑office returns, the film was seen as a disappointment during a peak period of Spielberg's career. And yet the pixie dust of nostalgia has quietly rewritten the narrative: the film has become something of a cult favorite, embraced by fans who grew up with VHS rewatches. Now we're dropping anchor in Pirates Bay to see if Hook conjures up any happy thoughts, or if it is better off getting lost, boy!

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Steve Starkey to discuss his new book, On the Set of Forrest Gump. Steve won an Oscar for best picture as producer on that film, but he has a career that, as I told him, has meant a lot to me, with credits on, among other pictures, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the two Back to the Future sequels, Contact, Cast Away, and, of course, Forrest Gump.We discussed all sorts of stuff here, from the movie magician who made Lt. Dan's legs disappear, to his work as second unit director, to the early days of using digital trickery to fake the words and faces of famous people, to the worst note he's ever gotten after an audience test, to the difficulties facing California's film industry in the face of global tax rebates and production credits.On the Set of Forrest Gump is laid out like a coffee table book and is beautifully illustrated with 250 or so full-color stills from set. So it's nice to look at. But the story he tells is a fascinating glimpse into the push and pull of art and business, the struggle between the producer on the ground trying to make sure his director has the resources he needs and the studio bankrolling the whole thing and worried about losing tens of millions of dollars on a movie that isn't a guaranteed hit. Anyway, I hope you check it out. And if you enjoyed this episode, I hope you share it with a friend!
Join us with comedian/podcaster Kyle Ayers for a chaotic episode where where we cover tennis judging, Apple Store warfare tactics, and the existential terror that is Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Kyle stops by fresh from refereeing children's tennis matches (he's basically a scarecrow with authority) to discuss his podcast Never Seen It, creating comedy segments out of thin air, and that time he opened for a houseplant named Colby. The gang bonds over their shared Apple Store trauma, where we learn that corporate empathy training actually works on kindergarten tennis players. We also tackle the hard-hitting questions: Are monarch butterflies the real villains? Did Courage the Cowardly Dog predict modern anxiety? And why does every important childhood memory involve either Rocco's Modern Life or nitrous oxide? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
