Connor & Jon start off their new series with one of the most chaotic films of all time and they are not too happy about it. They try to analyze why Spielberg can't make a direct comedy, what Zemeckis & Gale's original intention for the screenplay was, and how you can have so many great actors in a film with no great performances.

WARNING: Major spoilers for 1941, minor spoilers for Miracle Mile & Dr. Strangelove
