In this episode of DreamMachine, Patricia and Arun discuss about the 2014 DreamWorks animated film, Penguins of Madagascar, a spinoff from the Madagascar series. Taken place after the events of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Private feels left out from the rest of his penguin companions when he's being compared as the "mascot" of the group. While in Fort Knox to retrieve a discontinued snack food, the penguins are kidnapped and sent to Venice where they confront an evil octopus named Dave. But then they're rescued by a group of animal agents called The North Wind that's fighting Dave to protect the penguin population. The penguins then learn of Dave's evil plan that threatens their group and their fellow penguins and it's up to them to stop Dave before it's too late.  

Despite making over $373 million dollars on a $132 million dollar budget, it was considered to be a box office failure. Critics and fans gave mixed to positive reviews on the film calling it fun, fast, and brightly colorful, yet unoriginal, cliched, and lazy. What do Patricia and Arun think of the last film of the Madagascar series? Listen and find out.
