After a rather nosy leech anatomy segment (1:59), Aaron, Banks and Evan dive into The Tree of Life’s leechiest themes (6:55), scenes (18:32), and characters (30:35). To get some relief, the guys head to the shore for Leech on a Beach (41:59). They conclude by considering the film’s medicinal qualities (46:23) and giving an overall rating -- from 1 to 4 -- of the film’s leechiness (1:00:37).
