Author and Looney Tunes scholar/junkie Ryan Felton regales Flick Fix hostess Anne Laker with the cultural context of COYOTE VS. ACME (2026, dir. Dave Green), exploring the original cartoons’ origins, sensibilities, and reverberating influence, alongside the film’s daring present-day theme of corporate rot. Discussed: hand-drawn vs. CGI, Senator Elmer Fudd, seldom seen Looney Tunes characters, the unsung writing behind a great cartoon, and the righteous soul (and shiny nose) of Wile E. Coyote.

For **YOU’VE NEVER SEEN**, Ryan implores Anne to savor the color-saturated delights of THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT (1956, dir. Frank Tashlin). Tashlin, a Warner Bros. animator who transitioned to live action filmmaking, transferred visual gimmicks and manic energy to this Jayne Mansfield romp.
