Tim and Gregg are both excited to discuss 'The Frozen Ground' and 'Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning', but Tim sort of has a lot on his plate right now.

===== Synopsis =====
Tim's welcome to the viewers goes normally enough, but after introducing his special guest, Gregg Turkington, something seems a little off, as Tim suddenly falls silent and seems distracted. Gregg has to help him introduce the first film on the docket, //The Frozen Ground//. Tim does not offer much of a critique, and becomes visibly upset during Gregg's review. Both rate the film four bags of popcorn. 

Tim gets through the summarization of //Universal Soldier//, but again falls silent, and Gregg proceeds with his review. While he speaks, Tim appears even more agitated. Gregg gives the film five bags, then prods Tim for his own rating. Tim then breaks down in tears while Gregg sits in awkward silence. Gregg attempts to salvage the episode, and begins to do a Popcorn Classic, but with Tim's sobs, he realizes the episode is beyond saving.

===== Ratings =====

===== Trivia =====
  * It is unclear what was bothering Tim during this episode; his breakdown is never referred to again. Some possible explanations include a serious medical diagnosis (brain [[bloodclots|blood clots]], as he revealed in [[s02e01|S02E01]]), and marital strife (he divorced shortly thereafter). 
  * Gregg later revealed on Twitter that his intended Popcorn Classic was //Mr. Holland's Opus// (1995, 143 minutes).
