For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham, Katie Johnson & Joselyn Safadi join me to review and discuss "How To Train Your Dragon" starring Mason Thames, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz & Murray McArthur. A remake of the Academy Award-nominated animated feature of the same name from 2010, the live-action remake skews so closely to the original film that we're left wondering if there's any justification for its existence beyond the studio to make money. What did we think of the performances, score, and visual effects? Please tune in as we touch upon these topics and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
