Zootropolis (2016)

Ed and Tom have a loosey-goosey ramble about Disney's computer animated racial prejudice allegory/copaganda film, Zootropolis (also known in China as Crazy Animal City) Our fearless hosts dare to pose such pressing questions as… Just who are the predators supposed to represent anyway, and where are all the birds and reptiles? Do the multiple social/political allegories cohere or would Zootropolis work best in a double bill with Darren Aronofsky’s Mother!? Why aren’t we more embarrassed by animal nudity? Is Zootropolis secretly a Men’s Rights Activist kickback against #MeToo, or is it in fact an expose of the CIA's involvement in 1980's New York crack epidemic? Is Judy based on Clarice Starling from Silence of the Lambs, or is Zootropolis a remake of buddy-cop film 48 Hours? Elsewhere, Ed dives deep into Zootropolis’ erotic fan art while Tom finally understands the ending of 90’s action thriller Speed. And if that’s not exciting enough, somewhere in the middle, Ed stumps Tom with the soon to be universally beloved parlour game 'Trade Pup or Made Up?' This episode comes with a potty mouth warning.
