-With a new intro and a new show name ("On Alternative Medicine On Cinema"), Tim appears next to a shirtless Dr. San, with Gregg Turkington in the guest's seat as usual. Tim, his face pockmarked from acupuncture treatments, says he is feeling better, even if Dr. San is poking him "like a voodoo doll." Dr. San says the treatments are purging toxins, which are "expressing themselves." He further explains that the goal is to "tonify" Tim's blood, and smooth his "liver qi." Tim says he pays for the sessions out of his own pocket ($50 a session, multiple times a day), instead of using Obamacare, as healthcare is "a privilege not a right." Gregg seems very annoyed with the whole thing.+With a new intro and a new show name ([[onalternativemedicine|"On Alternative Medicine On Cinema"]]), Tim appears next to a shirtless Dr. San, with Gregg Turkington in the guest's seat as usual.

 Finally, Tim introduces the first film, //That Awkward Moment//. Gregg interrupts, sarcastically suggesting that the film stars Tim and Dr. San, as they have ruined the show with "quackery." Tim shrugs off Gregg's remarks, and says the film is a "funny, funny, funny, funny movie." He praises the raunchy scenes and awards the film five bags. Gregg says it is "a good comedy with a good cast" and also awards it five bags, though he throws in some infected needles. Finally, Tim introduces the first film, //That Awkward Moment//.

 While Tim introduces //Labor Day//, Dr. San begins some electrical shock treatments, causing Tim to shout in pain. Tim tells Dr. San to take the needles out, but thanks him anyway. Tim says he loves the film, and awards it five bags. Gregg says the film is a "cautionary tale" about picking up hitchhikers, and also awards it five bags. While Tim introduces //Labor Day//, Dr. San begins some electrical shock treatments, causing Tim to shout in pain.

-For [[onlocation]], Gregg visits the cemetery featured in the film //Hot Shots// (1991, 84 mins). Tim recognizes the cemetery from a previous episode, and Gregg acknowledges it is a repeat, but says he didn't think Tim would care since movies are apparently not important to him. He then accuses Tim of compromising the integrity of the show by making it about medicine instead of movies. Tim takes "great offense" to this, saying it is disrespectful to him and Dr. San. Gregg retorts that he doesn't care, and Tim says the feeling is mutual.+For [[onlocation]], Gregg visits the cemetery featured in the film //Hot Shots// (1991, 84 mins).
