198 - Pt. 2 - Dunston Checks In (RT)

Hey, we are both Seinfeld appreciators. So that should be a starting point with DUNSTON CHECKS IN, right? How do we truly feel about Jason Alexander’s leading man capabilities, especially in the context of a kids movie? And what’s our tolerance level when it comes to Dunston himself? Can our love for the 90s help us connect to this movie or is this Real Talk mostly going to be about how we just don’t get the passionate fandom for this one? Listen and find out!
