When a squirrel starts talking, you generally know it's an animated picture.

You watch your mouth; I am who I am.

Tim's latest medical ailment can't stop him from discussing this week's hottest flicks and which two Hollywood stars he thinks should get together.
After welcoming the viewers and introducing special guest Gregg Turkington, Tim admits he would rather not be on the show today due to foot pain. He removes his ostrich boot (introduced in the Christmas Special) to reveal his red and swollen right foot, describing it as “numb” and “very tender,” and says he will be seeing an acupuncturist soon as an alternative-medicine solution.
Finally it comes time for the first film on the docket, The Nut Job. Tim praises Brendan Fraser, and says he enjoyed Katherine Heigl's looks, describing her as “a ten.” Gregg is confused by this, remarking that the movie is an animated film, and seems a bit peeved that Tim apparently did not see the film. Tim says the animation is so good it looks real, but Gregg remarks that talking squirrels should be enough of a giveaway. Tim seems unwilling to admit he did not see it, however, and tries to change the subject by remarking on his foot pain (and its rotten smell, which Gregg concurs with).
The next film is Ride Along, directed by Tim Story. Tim remarks that a biopic about himself could be called Tim's Story, but Gregg suggests The Nut Job instead. Tim is not amused, and reprimands Gregg, leading to a brief moment of awkwardness. Gregg finds Ride Along to be much more than an action movie, and praises Ice Cube. Tim says he saw the film twice, which helped distract him from his foot pain, and says he would like to star in Tim's Story, directed by Tim Story. Gregg says this reminds him of Toy Story (1995, 81 mins.), but Tim shuts him down.
Gregg's Popcorn Classics is Forget Paris, a Billy Crystal movie. Tim messes with his foot and continually winces in pain as Gregg gives his review, and immediately ends the show once Gregg is finished. As the lights dim, Tim, still smarting over Gregg's Nut Job comment, says he needs Gregg “out of the building.”
