The popcorn- and the fists- come out as Tim and Gregg attempt to review "A Good Day to Die Hard" and "Escape from Planet Earth."
===== Synopsis =====
Tim and Gregg immediately start off on the wrong foot when, after being introduced, Gregg greets the audience with "Hey guys, and welcome to our program." Annoyed, Tim replies, "Welcome to MY program; don't even say that." Gregg also seems quite excited about the two "popcorn movies" on the docket, and when he becomes a little too verbose, Tim quiets him, admonishing him to "chill." Seemingly breaking the tension, Tim has brought in two buckets of popcorn for them to munch on as they review the films. Gregg appreciates the gesture, even if the popcorn is "a little stale."
First up for review is //A Good Day to Die Hard//, starring Bruce Willis. Gregg says that Bruce Willis has still got it despite his age. Tim concurs, remarking that he hates [[bond]] for supposedly failing to achieve the same longevity as Willis in //Die Hard// ("Bond keeps changing who Bond is"). Gregg retorts that Bond is continually improving, and that it is impractical for a 60-year-old franchise to still use the same actor. Tim doesn't buy it. While countering Gregg's point, he chokes on a popcorn kernel, taking nearly a minute to dislodge it while Gregg looks on awkwardly. When he finally recovers, he rates //A Good Day to Die Hard// five bags, and Gregg concurs.
Next up is an animated film, //Escape from Planet Earth//, featuring the voice of Brendan Fraser, as well as another actor Tim struggles to pronounce (James Gandalfee?). Tim, an animated movie fan, loves the film, saying it "thrilled and chilled him." He rates it as one of the best films of the year. Gregg likes it as well, but opines that it was a mistake to make the film animated instead of live-action, especially with Brendan Fraser in the cast. Tim seems rather annoyed by this, insisting it was not a mistake but a choice. Gregg reiterates it was the wrong choice, stating that Fraser is a good-looking guy and should be seen rather than simply heard. This sets off Tim, who slaps Gregg's popcorn away, and insists the film is perfect as-is. He trips on his words, and the two sit in awkward silence for a moment before Tim wordlessly walks off camera. The episode ends with a forlorn Gregg sitting alone amid a mess of popcorn as the lights darken.
