Following Wednesday’s reveal of the Unicorn, TVLine is now batting 1,000 in guessing The Masked Singer‘s mystery celebs. It’s really not even fair to call it guessing at this point. It’s more like… prophesying.

Using the clues provided by the show, as well as our countless collective hours of watching every television show known to man, we correctly deduced that Tori Spelling, Margaret Cho and Terry Bradshaw were under their respective suits. (This may be splitting hairs, but we don’t factor in Tommy Chong or Antonio Brown, since they were both unmasked in their first episodes.)

And we know it sounds like we’re bragging, but we’re really just excited. This mindscrew of a celebrity costume contest has occupied far too much of our brain space for the past five weeks, with each unmasking bringing us one step closer to regaining what was left of our sanity before all of this began.

Which brings us to our gallery of clues and predictions, now updated with the one celebrity we believe is under each of the remaining seven masks. (We even think we finally solved the mystery of the Rabbit, whom we’d previously narrowed down to two members of *NSYNC.)

Though you have everyone figured out? Click here for direct gallery access, then drop a comment with any objections.

The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.

In this edition, go behind the sciences of Marvel’s Ant-Man, specifically the little insect buddies who help him pull of his heroics. Plus, a video essay explores how Who Framed Roger Rabbit changed Hollywood animation, and find out how The Lost World: Jurassic Park compares to Michael Crichton‘s book that inspired it.

First up, former NFL football player John Urschel, now a PhD student in mathematics at MIT, takes fans into the real science behind Marvel Comics. In this edition he explores how some of the traits of Ant-Man actually tie to the real traits of ants, from his super strength to communicating though the antennae on his helmet.

The Lost World was written so that Steven Spieberg had new material that he could adapt for a film sequel to Jurassic Park. But there are still tons of differences between The Lost World: Jurassic Park that we saw in the movie and what Michael Crichton wrote. For example, Ian Malcolm is actually excited about going to Isla Sorna in the book. Find out more in the video above from CineFix.

Finally, in honor of the 30th anniversary of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a video essay from Vulture explores how the process of bridging live-action and animation helps set the stage for the kind of digital characters we’d see interacting with real people on the big screen decades later. It was the first movie to really established certain rules like maintaining eyelines and more.

There is a man squatting at the lowest point of his personal and professional life. He’s a classic film-noir detective living from job to job in Hollywood in the late 1940s, the dark hero of an ’80s neo-noir. The man used to be on the LAPD, but now he’s just a hacky private investigator who’s drowned his former glory by guzzling scotch day and night. But the job he’s on now is tough, the toughest one he’s had yet: it started small, with him taking sleazy pictures of a gorgeous woman fooling around on her husband, but it’s turned into a case full of greed, murder, and a city-wide conspiracy.

The worst cut of all: to save his reputation and his life, this gumshoe has to go to the one place he’s feared for years, the place where his cop brother was killed. As he stares into the abyss of a tunnel where doom waits on the other side, the camera zooms in on his sweaty, terrified face. He bucks up the last shreds of courage he has, gets back into his car, drives through the tunnel, and is confronted with…

Bright colors, hand-drawn animation, literal songbirds, and half of the most beloved animated characters of all time. The man is Eddie Valiant, the place is Toontown, and the film is Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which turns 30 today.

Roger Rabbit’s Secret Weapon

On its face, Who Framed Roger Rabbit has an inherently ridiculous premise, one that should absolutely not work considering how wildly it veers from tonal extreme to tonal extreme. In one scene, the hapless Eddie Valiant falls out of an impossibly tall building, greeted by a parachuting pair: Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, who give the man a “spare.” (Tire, not parachute, of course.) Soon after, the despondent and desperate Eddie learns that his brother wasn’t just killed by some insane Toon from the magical, Hollywood-adjacent land of Toontown. He was killed by the current scourge of Los Angeles, Judge Doom, a Toon in human clothing. Moreover, he learns that Judge Doom is trying to buy up LA’s public transportation system along with Toontown so he can make some newfangled thing called…a “freeway.”

There are myriad ways in which Who Framed Roger Rabbit should have failed. Director Robert Zemeckis was no neophyte, but the ambition with which he mounted a production in which live actors and animated characters co-existed could have turned into a screw-up of massive proportions. The balance of wild, manic humor and a surprisingly serious depiction of the drastic shift in transportation in one of the biggest cities of the country could be especially goofy, considering that the conspiracy elements of the story are a clear homage to Roman Polanski’s Chinatown of all things.

But the key to why this film works so well, 30 years later, is perhaps its most underrated element. No doubt, the film’s humor remains on-point, and the effects are largely quite believable. Yet it’s Bob Hoskins, the actor playing Eddie Valiant so marvelously, so understatedly, who makes this film sing. Hyperbolic as it may be, consider that Hoskins’ performance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit is both one of the most important and most dynamic pieces of acting in modern cinema.

In 2018, it is second nature for an actor starring in a major studio feature to film scenes against a green or a blue screen on which any number of computer-generated effects can be projected in the final product. Actors sometimes interact with another performer in motion-capture suits, or a tennis ball, or nothing at all, to reflect some kind of special effect that will be added in post-production. In 1988, such productions weren’t entirely unheard of, but it was much closer to rare for actors to have to prepare to act against a blank wall, as it were.

What Bob Hoskins did when filming Who Framed Roger Rabbit is commonplace now, in part because his performance established the language of acting opposite nothing, or opposite someone or something that wouldn’t be in the final product.

Acting Opposite Nothing

Much of Hoskins’ performance, as you can tell from the video above, was reliant as much on the special effects and animation technology as it was on Hoskins’ willingness to pretend. The scene after Eddie Valiant stares down the void is what’s being compared in that before-and-after example (you’ll have to excuse the stretched-out aspect ratio). Eddie is first seen driving his car through the fully animated Toontown, then spotting a woman he believes (incorrectly) to be femme fatale Jessica Rabbit, then having a hellish elevator ride courtesy of Droopy, being cheerfully assaulted by a different woman, and then falling down an infinite series of stories out of a building next to Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, leading to the aforementioned gag about the spare.

(Of course, it should be noted that live-action and animation hybrids had existed long before this film, but none this ambitious and none that demanded so much from the leading human performer.)

Or, if you watch the “Before” half on the top of that video, Bob Hoskins pretends to walk his way through Toontown, but is really walking in front of a blue screen. Then, Hoskins falls on his face to simulate Eddie’s part of the elevator ride, acts as disgusted as he can at the invisible animated woman trying to kiss Eddie, then is dangled by a wire a couple of feet above the ground before he hits the ground. The kind of blue-screen acting Bob Hoskins was required to perform here is death-defying to an actor. How can you act terrified or confused or disgusted if you’re not able to react to anything?

Bob Hoskins, who we tragically lost in 2014 to Parkinson’s Disease, made it look so goddamn easy in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. “All the special effects in the world wouldn’t work without his performance,” said Zemeckis in one of the various behind-the-scenes featurettes you can find on the Blu-ray release of the film.

One such feature (which you can watch above) also includes footage of how Hoskins wasn’t always on his own — the voice of Roger Rabbit, Charles Fleischer, would not only stand in on set as the eponymous character, but he would get…dressed up as the goofy character. If you haven’t watched that featurette yet, you should, just because the image of the craggy-faced Charles Fleischer dressed up as Roger Rabbit is something else. It’s difficult enough to imagine actors interacting with a stand-in for an animated character; doubly so considering what one of those stand-ins looked like.

The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.

In this edition, take look back at the animated live-action hybrid Who Framed Roger Rabbit in honor of the film’s 30th anniversary. Plus, a featurette for the upcoming action comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me goes behind the scenes of the globe-trotting production, and get a look at the upcoming first season of the NBC show Making It hosted by Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler.

First up, in honor of the 30th anniversary of one of the most innovative movies of the 1980s, SyFy takes a look back at Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a crossover of cartoon characters (from both Disney and Warner Bros) and the real world that worked much more seamlessly and realistically than any previous attempts.

Next up, this summer brings the action comedy The Spy Who Dumped Me, starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon, into theaters. If you still need convincing to check out the movie in theaters, this featurette lays out a little more of the story and shows off some new footage that might do the trick.

Finally, this summer Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler are teaming up for a reality competition series involving some of the most crafty people from across the country. Think of it as Top Chef or Cupcake Wars but involving arts and crafts and two fan favorite co-stars from Parks and Recreation. This looks like it could be a good way to pass the summer away.

Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi has begun production on his next film, Jojo Rabbit, a dark comedy that features Waititi playing a child’s imaginary friend…who just happens to be Hitler.

“I’m stoked to begin shooting my anti-war satire. We’ve assembled an incredible cast and I couldn’t be more excited to finally ridicule Nazis and their beliefs. This film is going to piss off a lot of racists and that makes me very happy.” That’s the statement actor and director Taika Waititi released to announce production on his latest project Jojo Rabbit, because he’s someone who certainly knows how to sell a film.

Jojo Rabbit is a surreal-sounding comedy that stars Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson, Thomasin McKenzie, and newcomer Roman Griffin. The satire is set agains the backdrop of World War II, and follows “an awkward young German boy (Roman Griffin) raised by a single mother (Scarlett Johansson), and whose only ally is his imaginary friend Hitler (Waititi). His naïve patriotism is tested when he meets a young girl (Thomasin McKenzie) who upends his world views, forcing him to face his biggest fears.” We reported in the past that Rockwell is playing a Nazi Captain.

This whole project sounds both weird and wonderful, and I want to see it immediately. Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit script previously appeared on the 2012 Black List – the annual survey highlighting the hottest un-produced screenplays of the year, based on the votes of hundreds of executives. In that form, it had a slightly different synopsis than the one above:

After being severely hurt by a grenade at Hitler youth camp, a prideful and nationalistic ten-year old boy discovers that his mother is hiding a fifteen year old Jewish girl in their house.

“Taika is a master at bringing honesty and humanity to the surface in any story, all while allowing us to laugh. We could not be more thrilled to join him in the remarkable journey of Jojo Rabbit,” said Presidents of Production Matthew Greenfield and David Greenbaum.

“It’s my version of… a lonely boy’s best version of his hero, which is really his dad,” Waititi told The Wrap earlier this year. The Wrap also learned that that the “Hitler” in the film is described as “not the Adolf we know and hate”, but rather someone who is “goofy, charming, and glides through life with a child- like naivety.” So get ready to see Taika Waititi as goofy Hitler, folks.

What I like most about this whole endeavor – beyond the interesting-sounding plot and great cast – is that it’s an example of Waititi using his clout to get original material made. Every time Marvel snags a compelling filmmaker, I’m always hoping against hope that said filmmaker will use their new Marvel leverage to go off and make something new and original. But they almost never do. Waititi, however, is forging ahead with his own new material, and that’s exciting.
