Fritz The Cat

We kick off the second annual Jess Byard June with a look at one of Ralph Bakshi's more infamous works and the first animated film to be rated X: Fritz the Cat. Featuring Skip Hinnant as the titular feline, it follows the exploits of Fritz as he stumbles from one awkward scenario to another, taking the piss out of the '60s at the same time. It's a satire first and foremost but lacks a strong narrative structure to pair with some biting commentary. The Projection Booth's Mike White and film critic Josh Stewart joins Chris to talk about the film, Bakshi's other works, and the sequel.
