Failure to Franchise

Episode Sixty-Five - Dick Tracy (1990)

Listen Later

We kick off our two-month "Pulp Frustration" series, dedicated to the 90s obsession with adapting pulp heroes to the big screen, with the 1990 Warren Beatty vanity project, Dick Tracy! How long was a Tracy movie in development before finally happening? How did Beatty convince an all-star cast to appear in something so outrageous? Was the character still relevant enough to entice modern audiences of the time? Why did the movie forever change how Disney did business moving forward? What the heck was up with that recent Dick Tracy TV special Beatty made? And how many "Dick" jokes will we succumb to making? All this, and more, as we discuss the primary-color soaked oddity that is Dick Tracy.
