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.

Wait, it has only been a week since the last RFCP episode... Did this show just go WEEKLY!? It did, indeed.
Travis takes the lead this week, showing both George and Dan a film they've never seen, and one which is near and dear to his heart: Bruce Willis time-traveling to prevent a pandemic that kills most of the world. Just the kind of lightweight fair you would expect from the director of Monty Python and the Holy Grail...
How will George react to Brad Pitt howling like a monkey in the back of a school bus? Will Travis convince the guys that this movie is on par with Se7en (1995)? Will Dan find room in his biased little heart to look past the unexplained pseudoscience and convenient technological cherry picking to love a Sci-Fi movie with more drool than detail?
