The Dick Tracy Minute podcast

Announcing the all-new Dick Tracy Minute Podcast! Join co-hosts Parker and Rob as they discuss the gorgeous, Oscar-winning cult classic 'Dick Tracy'(1990) at one jam-packed minute of screentime per episode!

It's go time! Parker & Rob tackle minute-one of Dick Tracy, a smörgåsbord of prop tableauxs, primary colors, gruesome news bulletins, and Danny Elfman's unmistakable theme tune wasting no time in hitting its iconic crescendo. It's an opening minute more loaded than many other whole movies!

The credits roll over one of the most spectacularly-detailed urban matte shots in movie history, packed with original billboards that couldn't possibly have been legible to anybody not going through this film with a Putnam's Choice Fine-Toothed Comb and in modern HD!

The film steps through a backalley door and straight into one of its most iconic scenes - the debut of Dick Tracy Badguy Makeup! Can you believe all these unforgettable, action-figure-immortalized thugs appear in this one minute only? Tune in to be convinced!

Hoodlums beget hoodlums as our poker party is crashed in a hail of gunfire and rummaging! Dick Tracy invents the entire concept of answering a phone call at the theater; remains beloved by all.

Dick ducks out of the opera and solves a quintuple homicide in less time than we'd take to buy Milk Duds; no wonder the free press can't get enough of Tracy and his best gal.

Dick and Tess have a barrel of fun - or at least walk by one. Across our picturesque town, the Queen of Pop owns the room at the Club Ritz.

A pall is cast over Lips' carefree day of wine and oysters by the triple threat of bad news, bodyshaming and the sound of the police. Legendary character actors Robert Costanzo and Jack Kehoe prove there are no small parts OR small actors in this town.

Three new baffling character actor discoveries blow the lid off a warehouse full of tangents; Dick and Tess discuss career moves as they continue their stroll down the block. Get your fill of bit-part players in this minute, as the next one's one long chase!
