Summary

We're not bad, we're just drawn that way! And we're headed to Toontown to discuss Robert Zemeckis' looney tune-y cinematic masterpiece (and every child's nightmare fuel) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)! Join us as we worship at the altar of Jessica Rabbit before applying a queer reading to Judge Doom (Don't be a sourpuss! He's a quintessential self-hating queer figure that might fall into the queer killer trope). Plus: our lengthiest production history yet, discussing the film's incredibly dark source material, sexy Patty Cake, and oh my God it's DIIIIIIIIIIIIIP! All this for a freeway? You bet! And we're gonna handle it JUST. LIKE. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS! Reference: Judith Dry “Queer Eye for the Cult Guy: Camp Classic Turned Cult Classics” Vulture Questions? Comments? Snark?
