# Episode #91 – Zookeeper

The addition of a noted lover-of-adorable-animals to this episode’s flop crew (Ms. [Hallie Haglund](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3949012/), subbing in for the just-married Stuart), meant we spent this episode on the Kevin James vehicle [Zookeeper](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1222817/).  It’s enough to make you want to steal money _away_ from The Humane Society.  Meanwhile, Dan defends urinating in front of the help, Elliott reveals his lyrical hypocrisy, and Hallie struggles mightily to remember the name of _one_ movie she’s seen.
