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.

George had a rough go of the original Night of the Living Dead. "Black and white? What is this, an Absolutist Pythagorean Dualism in video format!?" (he seemed to ask, while casting a wanting gaze at the nuanced relativism of the enlightened Kantian palette of The Walking Dead.) (At least, that is how Dan remembers it...)
Will George overcome his hesitation with the iconic 1968 Night to keep an open mind and heart with the 1990 remake? Is it safe to keep your organs exposed in a zombie crisis? Will Travis really bounce his head off of a hard rock just to make Dan shut up? Will Dan ever discover the source of the mysterious stringy jetsam? And does anyone succeed at "keeping things straight!"?
