It's chick flick week as Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington review vampire movie 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2' and Russian movie 'Anna Karenina,' plus Gregg debuts an educational new segment.
Synopsis
Tim's “big special guest” is none other than film buff Gregg Turkington, who thanks the viewers for all the “cards and letters” asking that he appear on the show more often. The two dub this episode “Ladies Night” due to the supposed feminine appeal of the two films up for review.
The first film reviewed is The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. Tim finds the film “very interesting,” as it is both scary and romantic. Gregg likes the soundtrack and the cinematography, although he admits to difficulty following the plot since he has not seen the previous Twilight films. They both award the film four bags of popcorn.
Next up is Anna Karenina. Tim describes the film as a “chick flick,” adapted from a book by Leo Tolstoy, and says it was well made. Gregg says the film is “groundbreaking” in that it could not have been made several years prior, due to the “war with Russia.” On that note, Tim praises the film for being in English, instead of using the Russian language and requiring captions. Both award the film five bags of popcorn, and Gregg picks it to take home Oscar gold.
Gregg debuts his new segment, On Cinema On Location. He chooses a cemetery featured in the film Hot Shots! (1991, 84 mins).
