Episode 9. Kyle went to a Harlem Globetrotters game and we demand comedy versions of more sports! Get joke writers in to punch up your football game!! We also want to see someone recreating old Buster Keaton antics live in an arena!!! Melissa describes an enraptured audience watching Babe: Pig in the City on the big screen. We discuss The Drama, The Diplomat, and how we need more movies besides Jay Kelly and Red Dragon where someone eats a portrait to gain its power. We interpret the movie news from CinemaCon: wet guy isn't wet anymore in Doomsday, John Goodman plays the president in Digger, Street Fighter is a big dumb living cartoon, and if Marvel declares a theater is good enough to be "Infinity Vision" then they'd better give all the employees a commemorative hat.
