We discuss eggs-actly why this movie being officially released in America after all this time is a pretty big deal, and just why we enjoy a movie with huge chunks of no one talking at all! Plus: Answering your questions, and I promise very minimal egg related puns & yolks--I mean, jokes. So if you're traveling this Thanksgiving, don't worry--I brought over 2 hours of podcast for you to help you get through it.
