Before the 2022 Chip and Dale Rescue Ranger movie that combined real life with animation.  There was the 1988 Robert Zemeckis classic "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"!  Fuck the Avengers and Justice League, this film gave us the coming together of all our beloved childhood cartoons.  Although this film is a decent enough family movie for the 80s, it wouldn't be a borderline family movie without some nightmare inducing drama (i.e shoe getting dipped).  We discuss those scenes at length plus so much more!

This week's "During the Break":
-Song parody of the Beatles - "I Want to Hold Your Hand" entitled "I Don't Want That Spam"....too much sodium.

Episode Summary

Thanks to its impressive technological innovation and astounding attention to detail, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) achieved commercial and critical success under the Touchstone Pictures film label. Erin and Rachel debate whether the clever script and filmmaking can adequately compensate for offensive content. Importantly, they also consider whether Jessica Rabbit is actually bad, or just drawn that way.

Phil and Jake sell out with a special PG-rated episode to expand the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking plants, the Pokemon character Charmander (a cute orange lizard with a tail that’s on fire), and sex.

If you have something to add to the List of Every Damn Thing, let us know by sending an email to list@everydamnthing.net

ADVISORY: Contrary to claims made during our conversation, we decided to mark this episode with the "explicit content" flag because we discuss some things that might be inappropriate (or at least boring) for children.

SHOW NOTES:

• Jake mentions using an apple to make something that resembles a flute. It turns out you can’t use that to play music, but we did find this example of instruments made from veggies.
• The tea tree oil that's used in the toothpicks that Phil mentions is from Australia, but it’s not from the eucalyptus tree. He’s right, though, that the eucalyptus is a wildfire-fueling invasive species to California.
• We discuss the relationship between crows & scarecrows some more. Plus, Phil's fear of coat racks.
• There’s some controversy in the episode over whether yeast is a plant or an animal. It turns out it’s part of the fungus kingdom, which makes it neither plant nor animal. The same goes for mushrooms, which Jake mistakenly classifies as plants.
• We both love radio edits, and “Back That Thang Up” is right up there with the Geto Boys’ “Mind Playing Tricks on Me” radio edit.
• Phil’s son Teddy had a Pokemon novelization where the dialogue of the Pokemon is written out like: “Charmander” said Charmander. “Squirtle,” replied Squirtle, “squirtle squirtle”.
• Jessica Rabbit gets mentioned again. Phil almost convinced his wife that Jessica Rabbit was a cyclops.
• An email from a listener gets us talking about the Jersey Shore (not the MTV show) some more.
• While looking for examples of old fashioned one-piece bathing suits, the Keystone Cops, and old cartoons that use a dotted line from the eye to show where someone is looking, we found this spectacular picture of Coney Island by Gluyas Williams.
• Lazy googling by Phil revealed that Bob’s Burgers seems to be set in Ocean City, New Jersey.
• It looks like the “palace” (beyond which hemi-powered drones scream) in Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run” is Palace Amusements, an indoor amusement center on the Asbury Park waterfront that operated for a century from 1888 to 1988. The famous mural of Tillie was on this building. Jake remembers seeing the decrepit Palace-- which had been shuttered for over a decade-- when he first visited Asbury Park in 2000. It was torn down by developers in 2004.

Phil and Jake continue their quest to assemble the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, nail clippers, and Jessica Rabbit (from Who Framed Roger Rabbit).

SHOW NOTES:

• The meditation app that Jake was using just before rolling his ankle is Headspace.
• We mention Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys. He said a lot of things that stick with us, but the one that sticks the most is “If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense."
• Jake references an article from The Atlantic entitled The Prophecies of Q, in which author Adrienne LaFrance provides a great brief history, summary and analysis of the QAnon movement.
• Direct energy weapons are currently a big preoccupation, maybe because of the fires in CA? Here's a video of irrefutable proof of #dew.
• Microchip brain implants are pretty commonplace nowadays.
• #Synlight - We don’t even want to write this stuff out because it gives oxygen to the thing, but people believe the sun that we see in the sky every day is not the real sun. Read the comments here; it’s unclear how many people are joking. 
• A 2019 FBI memo identified QAnon and related conspiracy theories as a threat to national security, citing as evidence (among other things) the Springfield, Illinois and Hoover Dam stories mentioned by Jake.
• In the 1980s G.I. Joe comics, Springfield, Illinois was the headquarters of COBRA, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world.
• Biff from Back to the Future II was explicitly meant to be living a Trump-like life. The idea when writing the sequel was “What does a dolt like Biff think a successful life looks like?”
• Phil mentions the vegetarian food brand Loma Linda, which was formerly owned by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church but was sold in 1990 to a company that has no apparent religious affiliation.
• Jake & Phil both kind of got the Know-Nothings wrong. The Know-Nothings' name came from them meeting in secret and denying knowing anything. They’re actually more similar to the Tea Party or QAnon than we’d thought, as they were rooted in conspiracy theories about Catholic immigrants.
• Phil is banned from discussing the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not fingernail guy at home.
• Jake mentioned that Jessica Rabbit's breasts have opposite physics. Director Robert Zemeckis said “What never really works in animation is the Prince and the Princess, because you can't exaggerate humanoids because they start to look too grotesque. The Dwarves always work good, and animals always work good. So I said 'how can we make Jessica sexy and sensual and all of that and still be toon-y and not just be stiff as a cartoon character'. And Richard, or Russell - I can't remember now - came up with the idea of reversing her actual anatomic movement. So, in other words, when a normal woman's breasts would bounce down Jessica's bounced up as she took a step. And it's so subtle, but it just works like gangbusters. She moves very impossibly as far as human anatomy is concerned but it works because it's very toon-y.” It’s such a strange idea but really makes sense, they couldn’t distort the proportions any further so they just made her move in an unnatural way.
• It looks like the Los Angeles freeway construction conspiracy that inspired Who Framed Roger Rabbit was more of a failure of public policy than a coordinated campaign to sabotage streetcars. The water wars that inspired Chinatown were a real thing.
• Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood is a true masterpiece.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a miracle of cinema because realistically this movie should not be as good as it is. Let’s discuss.

This week on Corona Cartoons Bryan and Chewie are joined by Rae Deslich to discuss the classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which leads to a fascinating look at L.A. history.

"This movie is basically Merrie Melodies meets 'Chinatown.'" So begins Sarah and Raf's analysis of the groundbreaking live-action-meets-animation film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." This 1988 movie enchanted both of our hosts when they were young, driving them to learn as much as they could about its production. And what a production it was! From lawyers fighting over Donald and Daffy getting an equal number of frames per second to robots that had to move like animated penguin waiters, this film was all sorts of complicated.

But "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is more than just a logistical nightmare that became a technical triumph. It's also a portrait of haunted characters stuck in the past as villains around them stare maliciously toward the future. It's a story about the toxic reverberations grief can have years later. It's a pamphlet come to life called "How to Talk to Your Toons About Alcoholism." It's a dusty gallery of cringe-worthy references that have not aged well. But most of all, as Sarah says, "It's a dark noir thriller, you know, for kids!" And it's one that's worth revisiting.

In This episode Frankie and Jeff discuss a little about why we hate and love fantasy football and then we do our Mount Rushmore (Top 4) Cartoon characters and why we think that Jessica Rabbit is the hottest one of all, I mean isn't it obvious?
