The Bob's Burgers episode was hell to finally get down. It took 5 separate attempts over the course of three weeks at either scheduling or actually trying to record before we got the above episode . One of the great disadvantages to John and myself not being in the same city. We got it though, and I'm pretty pleased with how fun the episode turned out.

Next episode (Episode 25) is going to be on Star Trek the Original Series. John will be missing, but I'll be joined by our friend Richard Sanders. So be sure to check it out.

Here's an interview with H. John Benjamin made just after the first season of Bob's Burgers.

One thing both John and I find fun to do (though it isn't always relevenant to the episode) is look at topics T.V. Tropes. It's fun to see how television, movies, and video games fall into place, or subvert the different popularized tropes. Here's the link to Bob's Burgers page.

Only a few notes for this Shortcast. It's primarily a few fun facts and a couple of different reviews on the film.

But FIRST! Here's a link to the actual script. If you've seen the movie it's pretty cool to see some of the changes made, but overall it's very close to what ended up on film.  I honestly don't know how up and up this website is*, but while it lasts it's fun to look at the script.

*It appears that it hasn't been updated since November of 2015, so it may or may not be inactive.

Here's a Mental Floss episode on interesting facts about the film. I don't really touch on most of these, but a few are hinted at (when discussing Sonnenfeld). It's fun, but if you're a fan of the film you'll likely know most of these.

Now this is an interesting review, and it touches on a few technical aspect that I [Frank] have no earnest experience with. I disagree with some of his thoughts, but I definitely respect his opinion on the film. Mr. Moraes definitely knows his stuff.

A lot of love for the film in this review
