McGee makes E witness the fiery follow-up to Fury Road. They get greasy trying to pin down the source of the spotty CG, stand in awe of Immortan George, and gas up the war-rig but get Doomed to a detour.

E & McGee are easy marks for our first ever guest! Professional rigger & old pal Andy Steinhauer makes the case for Andrew Dominik's poorly reviewed follow-up to The Assassination of Jesse James. It's a quiet crime caper with all the right players, so why do very few people know this movie?

McGee makes E keep truckin' through another cult classic that disappeared whenever he tried to approach it. They ride the lightning to meet the film on its level, try to find how much "genre" E can take until he explodes, and both walk away thinking they are the protagonist.
