Join us on a journey to the past as we watch the animated film Anastasia for this week's Viewing Party! We learn that Fox princess movies are much more gruesome than Disney, dive into some theological talk about redemption, and question why Meg Ryan and John Cusack were never in a live action movie together in the 90s. We also learn the true story of the Romanovs from our first call in guest, Robb!
Meet special guest Robb!
History buff and friend of the show Robb is currently producing multiple podcasts of his own, which will be launching soon. You can follow him on Twitter at @RobbThomas and Instagram at @therealrobb.
