Ep 529 - How to Train Your Dragon, by Cr...

HeadGum
About this episode

The inspiration for the hit trilogy of DreamWorks films is rather different than you might expect. It's still about a boy named Hiccup and his dragon Toothless, but the original has more burping, farting, and Dragonese than the films dared to show -- which is odd because those are the guys what made Shrek.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
