P-p-p-lease join our 35th anniversary retrospective on Robert Zemeckis' 1988 masterpiece with special guest Tarik Davis (@tarikrdavis) of the Amber Ruffin Show. This film still dazzles as it combines unparalleled live action and animation wizardry and a classic noir tale of persecuted toons that are anything but two-dimensional.
You can find Tarik not only on NBC's The Amber Ruffin Show, but on his essential podcast, Brothers From Another Planet, and see him perform with Freestyle Love Soupreme.
