About this episode

The episode discusses the Tim Burton film Big Fish, focusing on its themes and performances.

This week, we're chatting about the Tim Burton fantasy Big Fish ! We talk about bummer b-plots (that really should have been more of the film), how Jessica Lange singlehandedly sells the romance, and how glad we are that this movie didn't star a de-aged Jack Nicholson (really).
