Collin questions the very definition of reality when he and Margaret accidentally watch the director’s cut of Lethal Weapon. They contemplate sex robes, phones with their own suitcases, the consequences of eggnog, and Danny Glover’s Civil War injury. Spoilers for Lethal Weapon 2, Speed 2 and, bizarrely, the underrated Robert Downey Jr. classic Home for the Holidays.

Margaret comes to this trilogy right in the middle and immediately falls in love with badass Ripley and the adorably feral Newt. Collin breaks Margaret’s heart by telling her the plot of Aliens 3 so she pitches her own version that’s light on aliens and heavy on smooching. They cover big dick guns, Paul Reiser: capitalist overlord, and why you should never call a grown woman “kiddo.”

Collin and Margaret get Halloween SPOOKY with The Blair Witch Project. Collin must confront his vomit-related trauma and Margaret reveals her secret past as a ghost tour guide. They trade hometown horror stories and speculate about what would happen if they were lost in the woods together.

Collin and Margaret go full 90’s with the teen slasher classic I Know What You Did Last Summer. Margaret is thrilled to watch a horror film that’s not at all scary, but angered characters’ absurdly easy internet research. They discuss fish shacks, stringy hair as a sign of emotional distress, factoring rehab into your life plans and script their own version of the sequel.

Margaret shares her own personal trio of American classics: The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and Harvey. Collin is on board with Jimmy Stewart’s boyish charm but can’t quite deal with the slow pace and contrived romances. They cover capable ladies, creepy uncles, bugle songs, food sickness, and secret girlfriends

Collin attempts to fill the largest hole in Margaret’s movie knowledge -- The Godfather Trilogy. Margaret is underwhelmed by Marlon Brando, in love with old-timey Robert DeNiro, and grossed-out by cousin-lover Andy Garcia. They debate best movie deaths and play a rousing game of F/M/K.
