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.

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?
