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.

Before "Straw Dogs," "Last House on the Left" and "I Spit on Your Grave" it was Whirlpool that ushered in the new decade of the 1970s... George and Travis had never heard of Whirlpool (aside from all the times Dan brought it up over the last 3 years!) and were NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT THEY WERE GETTING INTO. And it led to what may be our most ridiculous episode of the year!
Seriously.
This is one that is underseen so we stay spoiler-free while we make the pitch for you, yes you, to go check it out before we finish the episode with spoilers galore.
How many times will Travis snort with glee? Will George manage to maintain diplomacy throughout the episode? Will Dan finally stop talking about Whirlpool!? Only time will tell! Tune in!
