The guys prepare for the end of summer by once again fielding questions from Yahoo! Answers (inspired by Slightly Sauced). Then they dig into the Obsessive Viewer archives for the previously unreleased Breakfast Club Debate recorded on the day Mike and Tiny first “met.” Later 2 Guns, The Place Beyond the Pines and Mike Birbiglia are discussed.

“Tiny, Matt and Mike discuss Neill Blomkamp‘s Elysium. Beware: There are some vague to heavy spoilers sprinkled in here and there. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, feel free to skip ahead to the other segment using the time stamps below.

After the review, the guys take a cue from Slightly Sauced and lend their expertise to an eclectic group of questions culled from the depths of Yahoo! Answers. Covering such topics as Harry Potter title changes, who is the ultimate Spider-Man and what to do when a movie scares you.

Special thanks to Slightly Sauced for the inspiration!”

This week Matt & Tiny (along with returning special guest Mike) discuss and dissect their favorite sitcoms. From Seinfeld, Wings and The Simpsons to The Office and How I Met Your Mother, the guys run the gamut on a sample of television’s most beloved genre. Yet, they leave with the promise of many more sitcom discussions.

This week’s episode also marks the conclusion of the first ever Obsessive Viewer Contest. The winning Theater Memory is read. But the guys urge you to still send in your memorable cinema stories

The HIMYM clip featured in the episode is actually from season 4, not 3 as Matt said.
