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.

George had no context for Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Sure he's seen a few Tim Burton movies. The Danny Elfman score might sound a bit familiar. But nothing could prepare George for the most epic bicycle recovery quest ever put to film. Twice.
Will Travis manage to beat the "under" for Pee-wee impressions? Will George make heads or tails of anything that happens on the screen during this movie? Will Dan manage to make Travis snort again?
