The duo sound off on a pair of new movies that bear a striking resemblance to DECKER: Port of Call: Hawaii.

Synopsis

It's “Family Day” on today's episode, as Ayaka sits next to Tim, bouncing little Tom Cruise Jr. in her arms. Tom seems to be rather upset, causing everyone to have to raise their voices a bit to be heard. Everyone seems in an upbeat mood as Tim updates the viewers on the latest news about Decker, but Tim and Gregg appear a bit frustrated as the infant's wails continue through Tim's introduction of the first movie.

Tim gives The Divergent Series: Insurgent highest marks. Gregg says it reminded him of Decker, “but not as good.” He liked it anyway, however, and also awards it the coveted five bags.

The Gunman is also suspiciously like Decker, but Tim says it is one of the best movies of the year, and predicts it will win an Oscar. He says that fans of either Decker 2 or The Gunman will enjoy either film. Tim then takes a moment to talk to Ayaka about her consultations with someone named Dr. Luther, who has been looking after Tom's health; Ayaka describes him as “brilliant.” Tim also says that Tom has been “hittin' the audition circuit,” in hopes that he will be cast in a commercial or Hollywood production soon.

Tim finally asks Gregg what he thought of The Gunman. Gregg says he has “definitely seen better” and that it is also clearly inferior to Decker 2 and James Bond. He recommends that the viewers see the final episodes of Decker 2 before seeing The Gunman, but still awards it highest marks.

It's time for an On Cinema On Location segment. Gregg has chosen the location from the hit series Decker where the evil Abdul is taken out by Jack Decker, in the fourth episode of the first season. Tim chides Gregg for accidentally referring to his character as “President Jack Decker,” thereby spoiling an important upcoming plot development. Gregg apologizes, but an angry Tim curses and storms off set, saying he will have to rewrite the scene on the plane back to Hawaii.
