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 needed a vacation. He works too hard, and he ain't see any movies, so Travis and Dan sent him with a one-way ticket to Westworld. And not that high-brow HBO Westworld with its CGI and remarkably explicit casting calls, but instead to the simpler and more quaint Michael Crichton effort.
Will George ever acknowledge his own anti-robot bias? Will Travis find nostalgia amongst the faceless cowboy robots? Has Dan found the burn to end all burns? And are his takes on HBO's Westworld and The Fly (1958) hotter than a stuntman's fire gag? Find out by tuning in!
