Poor George. He’s never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don’t stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.

Nosferatu (1922)
We're back with a mini Fall Outbreak. It has been a while so Travis and Dan made George watch two black and white vampire classics for the spooky season. The episode was darn near two hours long so here is Part 1.
And a word of warning... this one goes to dark places by the end.
Hope you missed us as much as we missed you! -
Nope (2022)
The Alienation of George continues (see what we did there?) with 2022's Nope. A movie best seen rather than described. So make sure you see it prior to listening to this episode.
Contained within this episode is a perfect example of the Travis Arc. Yes, George will learn and come to better understand the movie he just watched. But so will Travis. Sometimes, things just fall right into place.
Oh and Dan is here too!

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Things got a little... alien... in the last episode so they guys continued that momentum with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
And like an episode written by SNL's Weekend Update contribute Stefon, this episode has everything: Aliens, mashed potatoes, the mom from A Christmas Story, the Insane Clown Posse.
Join us to hear George love a movie, stick with us to hear Travis bring back the Arnold impression, and wrap it up with a tease for next week that is as brief as it is compelling.

Waiting for Guffman (1996) (with Mini_Megz)
Twitch personality Mini_Megz is back to show all three guys a new movie we missed along the way: Waiting for Guffman.
It is like Spinal Tap but about community theater. In Missouri. And the guys are here for it!
And there are aliens. So many aliens.
And it only gets weirder from there. Guys... this is probably the funniest (and funnest) episode yet!

Stripes (1981)
George enjoys a good Bill Murray movie, when he recognizes him anyway. And we just showed him National Lampoon's Vacation, which was directed by Stripes co-star Harold Ramis. And John Candy is here. What could go wrong?
Will George remember the Anthony Michael Hall cameo? Did Travis enjoy the final act of Stripes more than he did 25 years ago? Did Dan just convince the guys to watch Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia?

National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)
After a rousing discussion of interstate... in-transit... copulation...? during the Christine episode it was necessary that George see Parenthood. But instead the guys watched Vacation and no regrets were had.
George is familiar with Christmas Vacation, so to see the original in its early 80s R-Rated incarnation was not a very difficult leap. But was he ready for Ellen Griswold and Cousin Eddie in their more... raw form?
How many Russ's and Clarks's will Travis tally by the end of the episode? Will George finally recognize friend-of-the-show Anthony Michael Hall from his myriad of appearances? Will Dan manage to make it through a discussion of St Louis Missouri without dropping the cross-state rivalry burns?

Customer Reviews
Two liberals and a homeschooler reviewing the matrix ?Lol
Came across this podcast, by accident. Seriously funny !
Did the homeschooler go to college?
Hard to tell
Not PG13
Gremlins IS NOT the first movie with a PG13 rating. Gremlins is still rated PG, it’s because of this movie that the MPAA created the PG13 rating.
Travis is awful.
Stop talking. You are the worst.
