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 pretty good idea of what The Devil's Advocate was going to be, based on his guess last week. But he couldn't possibly foresee Keanu Reeves facing Al Pacino in a blend of The Omen, The Client and Seven. And the twist at the end? And the twist after that? Heck no. Had no idea. But... did he dig it?
Was George buying into the "Wonder Woman's Mom" energy of the seductive Christabella? Did Travis think the Rick Baker demon effects were more The Thing or more Spawn? Does Dan's Al Pacino impression hold a candle to Travis's? And! Stick around for a revisiting of The Prestige (one week later) and a discussion of American perspectives on nudity in film (inspired somewhat by next week's title).
