San Francisco-based Drafthouse programmer Jake Isgar stops by to discuss 'Dick Tracy', Warren Beatty's dazzling passion project released during a brief, bygone moment in big-budget filmmaking when artistic liberty and studio buy-in were wed.

We discuss the byzantine journey the film took to the big screen, which included several iterations under different directors and actors in the titular role. Then we discuss Warren Beatty as auteur, and how the character of Dick Tracy reflects his predilections, fears, and fetishes all in one. Finally, we look at Disney's ubiquitous promotional campaign for the film, which featured Dick Tracy iconography and songs from the soundtrack perfromed during Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour.

I feel like "Dick Tracy" is one of those movies that doesn't get the limelight much these days, but it should. It's splashy and colorful with great music and tons of well-known actors. They manage to pull off a comic book style movie that actually looks like a comic book. And they won a few oscars while doing it. We pair the movie with Boom Boom Syrah from Washington State. 

Metacritic Score: 68/100

Me and Mikey talk our trip to the theater to see this film when we were 15. Then we talk one of the best 90s teen rom-com house party films with the cast list that never ends. And why we're still looking for those 40 mins of deleted scenes all these years later...
