Find out which movie is worth your money this Valentine's Day weekend.
Tim is back in the host seat; he and his guest, Gregg Turkington, are both sporting their popcorn-butter-yellow On Cinema polos. Tim starts by updating the viewers on his life. He announces he no longer lives in Jackson Hole, having left after discovering that he was hanging out with several KKK members. He also says he realized he “had it all” as the host of On Cinema, and felt it was time for “the father” to come home. Gregg says he had hoped his time in the host seat would have gone on longer, especially as he had made a whole new credits sequence and everything. He states that his work as host, guest, and segment producer was more effort than anyone had ever done on the show.
Tim announces that a second Decker series, called Decker: Port of Call: Hawaii, is in the works, and that his book, Hog Shots, is not going to happen. Additionally, he has acquired a time share in Hawaii, where the second Decker series will be shot, and he hopes that the exotic locale will encourage big Hollywood names to join the cast.
Finally it is time for the movies. First in the docket is Fifty Shades of Grey, with three Johnsons in it. Tim remarks on the smutty nature of the film, saying it was hard to keep calm, and awards it five bags. Gregg describes the movie as “a romance” with some “adult elements,” not much different from most romantic films these days. He says it is a good Valentine's Day film, and also gives it five bags.
Kingsman: The Secret Service, has a title suspiciously similar to the Kingston Master Codebreaker character from Decker. Tim notes the similarity of the plot to Decker as well, and observes that a lot of new movies are giving a “tip of the hat” to Decker. Gregg opines that it is more than a tip of the hat; the makers of the film clearly studied Decker as Tim obviously studied James Bond (which Tim denies, of course). Both award the film highest marks.
Tim tries to end the show right here, but Gregg reminds him that there is a Golden Age Comedies segment to do. Tim says the segment is dead, but Gregg argues it's in the contract, and the two disagree over it for a bit. Tim is adamant the segment will be axed, but Mark Push is already in his W.C. Fields costume, however, and when he asks Tim himself if he can do this one segment, Tim agrees. The selection for today is Soul Food (1997, 115 mins), starring Vanessa Williams and Vivica A. Fox. At the end of the segment, Mark breaks character to thank Gregg for having him on for this “short-lived” segment.
