Who Framed Roger Rabbit? — Look InThe Mirror!

This episode explores how Who Framed Roger Rabbit uses Judge Doom as a metaphor for the real-life conspiracy led by car and oil companies to dismantle electric rail systems, especially in Los Angeles. It traces the historical shift from efficient public transit to car dependency, planned obsolescence, and the cultural and economic costs. The hosts connect this history to modern politics, arguing that fiscal choices and corporate influence deepened inequality, and discuss proposed reforms—like right-to-repair, anti-gerrymandering, and universal paid family leave—that have broad public support.
