# Episode # 450 – Unfrosted, with Alex Smith

We flashback to discuss a movie that was much-requested when it was first released, but just didn’t fit into our schedule — Jerry Seinfeld’s baffling paean to the Pop Tart, [Unfrosted](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14914430/), a film that throws an astounding cavalcade of comedy talent at ideas that seem (apologies) a bit undercooked. Also, we were blessed by the rare in-studio presence of our beloved producer, Alex Smith, who hadn’t actually seen the movie, which made explaining the madness of the “plot” all the more enjoyable.
