TPToA Podcast 464 – Coyote Vs. ACME

Coyote Vs. ACME

For nearly a century, the Looney Tunes have been dropping anvils, defying physics, and teaching generations that purchasing products from ACME is hazardous for your health. From the groundbreaking mix of animation and live action in films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit to the nostalgia-fuelled chaos of Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (with Cool World sitting awkwardly in the corner), Hollywood has repeatedly asked the important question: “What if humans shared the world with cartoon characters?”

This week, that tradition continues with Coyote vs. ACME, the long-awaited (and almost entirely shelved) courtroom comedy that finally lets Wile E. Coyote take his greatest enemy to court… and surprisingly, it isn’t just the Road Runner.  From Director Dave Green and writers Samy Burch, James Gunn and Jeremy Slater; the film stars Will Forte, John Cena, Lana Condor, and a collection of familiar Looney Tunes faces. Coyote vs. ACME follows the eternally unlucky Wile E. as he launches legal action against the company whose products have exploded, flattened, catapulted, and generally ruined his life for decades.

Joining the witness stand this episode are Dion and Jill along with the human-cartoon hybrid known as Quinny, they dive into the film itself while taking a nostalgic trip through the history of cartoons interacting with the real world.

So, did Coyote vs. ACME deliver cartoon justice, or was someone left holding the dynamite when the fuse ran out? Toon in and find out if indeed… That’s All Folks!

Official Synopsis

After enduring years of catastrophic product failures at the hands of ACME, Inc., a tenacious, unemployed coyote uncovers a corporate cover-up and spearheads an unhinged battle against the multinational conglomerate that’s been blowing him up in the name of profit. Also, there’s a roadrunner. And dynamite.
