Show notes:
A reminder that this podcast is all spoilers all the time and this film is so delightful to watch unspoiled that we urge you, if possible, to watch it without knowing anything about it (as we did).
We loved this film. We had to work really hard to find anything to fix. We hope you like it as much as we did.
