Playing For Keeps scores a gooooooaaal with Tim and Gregg, while Bill Murray should be elected President of Comedy, but not for playing FDR. Also Gregg takes us out to another famous Tinseltown location.

Synopsis

First up for review is Playing for Keeps, featuring Tim's favorite actor, Dennis Quaid. Tim appreciates the film's mix of coming-of-age, soccer, Gera[r]d Butler reinventing himself, romance, comedy, and sports. Gregg also loves the film, saying he will add it to his film library when released. Both award it four bags of popcorn.

For Hyde Park on the Hudson, Tim is surprised to see Bill Murray in a non-comedic leading role, but says the film blew him away. Both Tim and Gregg praise Murray's performance as Franklin Roosevelt, and predict that the film will win lots of Oscar gold. Tim apparently forgets about the popcorn ratings for Hyde Park, and appears very annoyed when Gregg tries to remind him.

Gregg's On Cinema On Location segment features the hotel from Moment by Moment (1978, 105 minutes), starring John Travolta and Lily Tomlin. Finally, the duo give their popcorn ratings for Hyde Park: five bags each. The episode ends with Tim suddenly offering Gregg a warm handshake, a rare moment of camaraderie between the two.
