No, the problem is peeing. With a run time of nearly three hours, people who hold out until the end are bursting,"
"On Reddit, queries about when to pee solicited appropriately blokey advice: There is a section when a bunch of nuns appear You can run out for a few minutes, one contributor advised; several more offered variations on the theme of Have you considered One Pee Bottle After Another?
