Just now had a split second of wanting to watch the 2014 movie because of Emily Blunt, but that was gone the moment I learned James Corden was the narrator...

I'd never heard of people having anxiety about where there food came from until I met and talked to some vegetarians and vegans. The people I know who eat meat tend not to worry or care about it

ha - I watched this film for the first time at 35. I was very much not into it. Maybe if I had been able to see it when I was 20 and it first came out. But it physically pained me to watch at 35.

Great episode, but Kaveh dropped a bit too many F bombs for my taste, at least compared to other episodes it was a bit off-putting. Cheers!

The new Taylor Swift song is awesome and she should have received an Oscar nomination for Best Song.

Is the appeal really that mysterious? There are a lot of cat people. A lot of us can spend ages watching our pets do weird things and read cat memes. What if those were an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical? Love the podcast!
