They were not just hurt, but some of their gold was taken too.

Rested and ready, Tim and Gregg delve into two new films and pay tribute to the late Paul Walker.
Tim declares that he and the Decker team have “found our stride,” and apologizes to the viewers for the lack of episode quality over the past few weeks. Gregg also admits he was tired last week and off his game; Tim says he brought no game whatsoever as he did not see Get Hard. Gregg counters that Tim also did not see it, but Tim says he did not have to. Before the argument can descend further, Gregg starts his review, comparing the movie to Silver Streak (1976, 114 mins.), and opines that Will Ferrell has become “the Gene Wilder of our generation, and Kevin Hart is the Eddie Murphy.” He gives it five bags.
Tim takes a moment to thank Gregg and the crew for a successful season of Decker, and informs the viewers that the ending scenes will be shot soon and the script for them is underway. He is apparently keeping the story details under wraps, fearing “leaks” (as Gregg inadvertently spoiled the original ending last week).
Finally it comes time to review today's movies. Furious 7 features the late Paul Walker and a character named Deckard, an obvious tip of the hat to Decker. The duo note all the ideas being stolen by Hollywood. Tim says Furious 7 is one of the best action movies of the year, and gives his best “to Vin Diesel and the whole family.” He gives the film an unprecedented seven bags. Gregg takes the filmmakers to task for not titling the movie Fast and Furious 7, and laments that Paul Walker passed away before the film's premiere. Tim agrees, but is glad that at least he died doing what he did best. Gregg awards the film five bags plus a gold cross for Walker.
Tim found Woman in Gold to be “a sad movie.” He says that values.com taught him not to be afraid to cry, which he did during this movie. Gregg says he expected the film to be a sequel to Woman in Red (1984, 86 mins), but found it was “a very different film.” He does not recommend it for small children, unless used as a history lesson. He praises Helen Mirren, and awards the film five bags. Tim concurs.
Tim dedicates the episode to Paul Walker, and recommends that the Academy change his name to “Paul Driver,” as “driving cars fast” was what he loved to do. Gregg disagrees, but Tim insists that the name Paul Walker makes no sense for someone who loves to drive fast. He additionally suggests the names “Paul Turbo” and “Paul Car.” Gregg again disagrees, saying that any name changes should happen while an actor is still alive, so he can “trade on” that name. Tim shuts down the argument before it can proceed further, and the pair close out with another plug for the finale of Decker season 2. The two debate the Paul Walker issue again after the lights dim.
