Tim and Gregg delve into both superhero blockbusters and kiddie fare. Also, Gregg sheds light on a renowned filming location.
Tim, with a concerningly bruised face, opens the show with a nice long vape hit before welcoming the viewers. He apologizes to Gregg for being late today; he and his pregnant wife, Ayaka, have been discussing “taking a little bit of a break from having that kid.” Gregg is confused, but Tim refuses to elaborate. He does mention, however, that Ayaka returned to Japan to discuss the matter with her family. Meanwhile, he is on the vapes “full time,” although his constant deep, noisy inhalations start to annoy Gregg.
They jump into the movies, starting with Suicide Squad, featuring Will Smith and Jared Lego. Tim gets a couple words into the synopsis before erupting in frustration at the obvious rip-off of Decker, while complaining about the still-unrepaired air conditioning. All the while, he continues to noisily vape; Gregg tries to rein him in, but Tim admits not doing so would compromise his ability to function. Tim reads the synopsis again and praises Jared Lego, describing him as “the best supervillain of all time.” He says the movie gave him a much-needed laugh, what with Ayaka considering an abortion. As for Gregg, he enjoyed the classic superheroes appearing in a similar setting to Decker, and expresses interest in seeing a Decker comic book. He awards the film a “slam-dunk” five bags of popcorn, throwing in some handcuffs for Dr. San amid Tim's constant vape hits.
Tim, now completely out of it, can't read the cards; Gregg grabs them and reads the plot summary for Nine Lives. He is interrupted by a coughing fit from Tim, who is trying not to breathe out of his nose lest he lose his ideas. Gregg says it is more of a kids' movie, but the pairing of Kevin Spacey and Christopher Walken is interesting to adults. Tim tries to move on to the next segment before Gregg pries a rating out of him.
Now it's time for On Cinema On Location, this time featuring filming locations in Victorville. Gregg appears in front of a stop sign just outside of a movie theater on Sixth Street, featured in the film Broken Horses (2015, 101 minutes). After the segment ends, Gregg begins to close out the show, as Tim appears to be unconscious. He wakes up suddenly, however, and Gregg immediately ends the show. After the lights dim, Gregg upbraids Tim for his unprofessionalism; Tim starts to cry and says he doesn't want to do the vape anymore.
