Dolly Parton & Queen Latifah star in the 2012 musical dramedy Joyful Noise—a movie with so many bizarre plots that your head will spin trying to follow them all. Actor/comedian Fred Stoller (Everybody Loves Raymond) joins Paul, Jason, and June to discuss the strange heart attacks that kill two characters, the bum wiping vs. turd in tissue issue, the diner food fight scene, Dolly's duet with her ghost husband, the big song medley with Christian versions of pop songs, and so much more.
