Cover to Credits The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)Let your imaginations run wild this episode as we discuss The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, directed by Ben Stiller and adapted from the James Thurber short story.

We look at the way each version approaches Walter's day dreams, the film's globe trotting adventure and the iconic Benjamin Button parody scene which we have a lot of thoughts about!
