Poor George. He’s never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don’t stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.

Coming to America (1988) (with Richard Oliver from the Chasing Tone Podcast!)
Richard Oliver (of the Chasing Tone Podcast) is back and George just finished his 4th Eddie Murphy movie of the show. Was this a pitch-perfect comedy for George or did it fall flat like that part in Trading Places that Dan hates?
This one is all over the place, with deviations to discussions of Kimba the White Lion, Slumdog Millionaire and Animal House. It was a great time.
Will Richard quit the show when he figures out that we are not watching Coming 2 America? Did George catch the Trading Places call-back? Is Travis's spray bottle sufficiently sized for Richard's preference? Did Dan just geek out over a Simpsons' scene... again?
And after the episode, check out the Extra Credit Discussion group on Facebook:
