158: Easter Movies Actually: Rise of the Guardians (2012)

We're releasing this a few days early so you can get a jump on the Easter weekend and so you still have time to purchase an egg dye volcano. "Rise of the Guardians" is like a superhero movie, but with mythical characters we all know and love: Santa Claus (okay, he's not mythical, but real), the tooth fairy, Jack Frost, the Sandman and, of course, the Easter Bunny, voiced by Hugh Jackman. Why is the Tooth Fairy in charge of children's memories? Is "The Ten Commandments" meant to be watched on TV with all the commercials? Is there room for more cultures in the realm of the Guardians? All this, plus a Blu-ray Gift Exchange, one that features a Christmas movie that has been discussed on the show before. Go to MovieZyng to start or continue your DVD/blu-ray/4K collection.
