Christian and Devin roar into their spoiler-free thoughts, concerns, and reactions to Mufasa: The Lion King. Does this prequel live up to the legacy of the Pride Lands, or does it stumble on its way to greatness? Tune in to find out!

"Mufasa: The Lion King" enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka--the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny--their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.
