A "Trippy" Experience: Why the guys felt like something might have been "slipped into their drinks" while watching singing frogs, talking T-Rexes, and a family that defines the word "zany." Villainous Revelations: Their take on Bowler Hat Guy and the "big reveal" that arguably came far too late in the story. The Soundtrack Save: Discussing the massive "needle drops" from artists like Rob Thomas, All-American Rejects, and the Jonas Brothers.
