The CTQ guys are put to the test when faced with the biggest variety of Queue classics they’ve ever encountered. They welcome in Bryan Burgan, a card-carrying comic book geek who treats the movie theater experience with church-like reverence but has major holes in his movie-viewing past. Burgan talks about nerd culture finally being “cool,” doing the “Pee-Wee Herman Dance” on his parents table as kid, and not quite remembering if he’s seen “Half Baked” (which results in an actual CTQ Half Baked popquiz) PLUS: Alex floats out an insidious conspiracy theory about Eddie Murphy’s voice-over work on “Shrek.”
Queue Contenders: “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969), “Battle Royale” (2000), “Best in Show”(2000), “In Bruges” (2008), “Fruitvale Station” (2013), “Half-Baked” (1998), “The Warriors” (1979)
