    The Birds!

    How big of a threat to humanity do birds represent? What could compel birds to attack in numbers? If they turned on us, would we ever truly be safe again? From meet cute to all-out chaos, we experience the rightfully beloved film The Birds and see what holds up and what falls flat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    War Horse

    How do you train a horse to plow, much less to function in a cavalry unit? Can horses teach one another to follow human instructions? And perhaps most importantly: why do people always call horses "beautiful animals"? Steven Spielberg's 2011 "War Horse" guides Katie and Norm through these and more Big Questions. Hosted on Acast.

    Never Cry Wolf

    On this episode, Norm got to pick and elected to watch "Never Cry Wolf," adapted from the book of the same name. Katie read the book after viewing the film in preparation to get the 'full experience' of this questionable almost-classic story of a man who turns into the world's greatest little wolf boy.
