EPISODE 060 - Hakuna Mufasa

Specific Movie Talk:
"In 1994, the Walt Disney Company released what became my all-time favorite Disney animated movie: A little story about a lion who just couldn't wait to be king... and then ran away from his duties. Boasting a cast with the likes of Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Moira Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg, and Cheech Marin, The Lion King thrills, chills, entertains... and still somehow manages a G rating. What is up with that? Tonight, our Specific Movie Talk is The Lion King."
