Shownotes Transcript

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. After being transported to Los Angeles, the titular moose and squirrel travel across country to stop a rogue TV station from hypnotizing the populace into a stupor. Starring Jason Alexander, Robert De Niro, Janeane Garofalo, and Rene Russo.

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle uses the tired trope of taking cartoon characters and putting them in the "real world". Who Framed Roger Rabbit this is not. The banter between Rocky (Keith Scott) and Bullwinkle (June Foray) works, but the pacing is not great. There's a love interest subplot that's not needed, the cameos aren't AAA level like in The Muppet Movie, and the plot is lacking stakes until the end.

There are some good lines here and there, but the whole movie just lays there like a moose on the couch. Even the Dudley Do-Right had more zip to it!
