276 - George of the Jungle 2

We cover direct to video sequel to moderate Disney hit. Brendan Fraser say no to come back. No Leslie Mann either. Thomas Haden Church say yes. Career in toilet after Wings before Sideways. It George of the Jungle 2. From 2003. Six years after the first film, George (now played by Christopher Showerman, which sounds like an alias someone came up with extemporaneously while in a locker room) and Ursula (now played by Julie Benz) have a five-year-old son George Jr. (played by an obviously way older than five Angus T. Jones). George balances home life with his duties as King of the Jungle. His role at the top spot is challenged by Mean Lion (Michael Clarke Duncan). Meanwhile George's evil mother-in-law Beatrice (Christina Pickles) and Ursula's evil ex Lyle Van de Groot (Church) are plotting to seize Ape Island by stealing the deed from George's underwear. Ape (John Cleese) is working off gambling debts as a lounge singer. Also, Beatrice uses a Vegas hypnotist to mind control Ursula into getting back together with Van de Groot. Will George save his family? Will be still be King of the Jungle? Will George Jr. ever enjoy swinging (a plot element we mostly missed)? Will Thomas Haden Church get an atomic wedgie from the hand of God? What abacus was used to generate the CGI effects? You'll just have to listen to find out! Also, a warning to parents: George gets hurt into crashes tree, George's mouth wood tree then falls into ground. (no blood and injuries appearances)
