Eagle vs. Shark (2007) with Sundae Horn

The Cinema Bums are joined by Sundae Horn to kick off their Taika Waititi miniseries by discussing his first film, Eagle vs. Shark! Taika Waititi was the first-ever winner of Bumtober, a month-long bracket battle where our listeners submitted and chose a series for the Bums to cover. What made Taika beat out everyone else for the top prize? How does his first film hold up? Why does this comedy movie feel so sad? To answer these questions, we are joined by a very special guest, 26 years in the making: Emmet's own mother. Tune in to hear Emmet mostly talk about the Lord of the Rings, Wade get ousted for his controversial holiday movie take, and Sundae attempt to discern the national mood of New Zealand. It's a whole new year and a whole new miniseries on Cinema Bums, and we couldn't think of a better way to kick it off. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!
