The buffs give us an in-depth look into the highly anticipated 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' and then grab their umbrellas to dive 'Into the Storm.'

Synopsis

Tim's right eye looks much better, though his right hand is still in a cast. He announces that he underwent Lasik surgery in both eyes, and now has 20/20 vision. He provides an update on his Hog Shots book, saying that he reached out to Tom Cruise to be on the cover, but has not heard back, threatening the book deal with the book shop in Jackson Hole. He implores Cruise on camera to respond, and threatens to reduce the popcorn rating of Cruise's films in the future.

First up is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, featuring a star cast including Whoopi Goldberg, Tim's favorite actress. Tim loved the film, and was glad to see it with his own eyes. Gregg, who has been oddly quiet up to this time, says he prefers not to comment on the film, as his remarks may “end up in an episode of Decker.” It turns out that he is miffed over Tim cutting the green screen footage of Gregg's On Cinema on Guests interview from S05E02 into the latest episode of Decker without his permission. Tim retorts that this is simply “how it works” in Hollywood, but Gregg isn't having it.

A heated argument ensues. Tim insists that all of Gregg's On Cinema work is Tim's own intellectual property, and that he can use it as he pleases. Gregg vehemently disagrees, and eventually gets up to leave the set. Tim tries to assure Gregg that he will become a star; Gregg is merely silent. Frustrated, Tim ends the show on the spot, and insists he “did what was right for this show” after the lights dim. Gregg retorts that the issue has nothing to with this show. This sets off Tim, who screams that he won't lose any sleep, and tells Gregg to “go f*ck yourself.”
