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 is from Philly. Travis is from Philly. Actually, they are both from New Jersey but like... the Philly part.
George has never seen Rocky, but he knows that Philadelphia is an underdog kind of town. A city known for being the little brother to New York and always having to fight up hill. Or... does George really only know the identity that Philadelphia appropriated from Rocky?
Why does Apollo Creed make Travis want to hang out with Obama? Will George have any particular epiphanies during his waxing poetical on Philadelphian culture? Why does Dan know so much about Pro Wrestling?
