As promised, we're here to talk about the romance of Jerry Seinfeld's directorial debut: the brand-new Netflix release Unfrosted, telling a mostly made-up story about the origin of the Pop Tart.

Join in as we discuss the best Pop Tart flavors, the Seinfeld joke that the movie is based on, the real history of Kellogg's and Post, and, for some reason, torture by cow.

Plus: What jokes actually worked for us? Why are so many plots abandoned midway through? Who gave the best performance out of the ensemble cast? And, most perplexingly, is this movie somehow too short?
