TALES OF THE RAT FINK
Dir. Ron Mann, 2006
76mins
From the award-winning director of COMIC BOOK CONFIDENTIAL and GRASS comes TALES OF THE RAT FINK, Ron Mann's wildly inventive bio about Renaissance man Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, who engineered a shift in mid-twentieth century culture with his customized cars, "monster" T-shirts and America's alternative rodent - "Rat Fink".
The subject of Tom Wolfe's essay "The Kandy Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby", Ed Roth helped fuel the "Kustom Kulture" / Hot rod movement of the 1960s in Southern California. Hot Rodding grew from crude backyard engineering where performance was the bottom line into a refined art form where aesthetics were equally important.
Mann's largely animated documentary features the voice talents of John Goodman, Ann-Margret, Jay Leno, Brian Wilson, Tom Wolfe, Matt Groening, Robert Williams, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Paul LeMat, Billy F Gibbons, and The Smothers Brothers.

+ Ken Hollings in conversation with Edwin Pouncey (AKA Savage Pencil) about Ed Roth.
