Episode 29: RRRrrrr!!! (2004)

On this episode, Predrag (Pedja) Radović joins us as we travel back to l’Âge de Pierre in the French movie RRRrrrr!!! (2004), a comedy in which cavemen use shampoo and investigate the world’s first murder. We wish we understood French better because we probably missed a lot of good puns in the translation.
