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

Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi of the Attitudes podcast joins Paul and Jason in-studio to discuss the 2016 Fantasy film Gods of Egypt. Is it a good sign when the opening narration isn’t confident in remembering the plot of the movie? What was the sphinx saying? Why doesn’t Gerard Butler’s accent stay consistent throughout the movie? All of this and more is covered as they get deep into this green screen adventure. (Originally released 8/19/16)
