We Love the Love

Zookeeper

Listen Later

We're finishing out the year with a look at the romance of the 2011 Kevin James comedy Zookeeper!

Join in as we discuss celebrity voice roles, gorilla prison, the movie's ever-shifting release date, and a standout performance by Rosario Dawson.

Plus: Did this movie kill an elephant? What about a giraffe? Why was Leslie Bibb invited to that wedding? Why wasn't Shane fired for beating animals? And, most importantly, is there any job more revolting than being a zookeeper?
