Description

George wasn't sure if he was watching a demonic possession movie or a ghost movie this week. Either way... he was bound to get what he was after. We watched Poltergeist from 1982 and while we my have moved the tombstones... did we move the bodies? 
 
How would a youthful Travis or George have reacted to be a child in a theater in 1982? Will Parent-Travis love the movie as much as Child-Travis and Adult-Travis has over all these years? Will Dan mince words when it comes to how he feels about the internet theory that all of this is a drug induced hallucination?

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.
