Episode 21: Diegesis and Ride Vehicles

In this moving episode, Alice and Buddy take a look at the ways Ride Vehicles interact with the fiction of theme park rides and attractions—how do they function in -universe? What separates the diegetic vehicles from their non-diegetic counterparts? How do some attractions transcend their vehicles non-diegetic qualities?

Featuring discussions on Roger Rabbit’s Car-Toon Spin, the Haunted Mansion, Universal’s Studio Tour, E.T.: The Ride, and Transformers: The Ride.

Those Happy Places is produced by Alice White and edited by Buddy Duquesne. Our theme music is "Golden Gate" by The California Feetwarmers, featuring Phil Alvin.
