Matinee Monday: Spice World (w/ Retta)

Earwolf And Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Jason Mantzoukas
About this episode

Paul, June, Jason, and special guest Retta from Parks and Recreation try to make sense of the 1997 film spectacle Spice World! They dive into the movie’s gigantic tour bus interior, the pregnant friend, and why Ginger Spice kisses an alien on the mouth. They get into the Italian men's asses scene, why Retta had a dream about George Wendt, and who Paul, June, Jason, and Retta would be if they were Spice Girls. Girl Power, bro! (Originally Released 04/02/2013)
