74 - The Boss Baby (feat. Patrick Willems)

Patrick Willems (@patrickhwillems) teaches the lads the ABC’s of corporate espionage as they slide down the deeply intricate lore rabbit hole that is Dreamworks’ 2017 fever dream: The Boss Baby. Topics include the scores of Hans Zimmer, the commodification of love, and the eternal and ever-growing rivalry between babies and puppies.

The whole first half of the episode I was singing "Boss Baby" to the tune of "Goldfinger", and then when you said "Dame Shirley Bassey" I just put my head in my hands.
