But Grae feels the same way about it that she did about fireworks as a child: frightened by all the noise. Glory receives a surprisingly warm reaction, especially when they decide that it should be set to Ferris Bueller's soundtrack. And just for legitimacy's sake, make sure to pay attention to WHY Jack is allowed to discuss race relations in this country.

Guest co-host and Mafia superstar Joey Coco Diaz faces off with Thomas Fenton, teddy bear screenwriter. Although Tom is one of the minds behind Saw IV, Grae is surprisingly not frightened to have him in the treehouse and Joey gets totally starstruck. It's adorable. This week they are giving away the WTF Award as they discuss Flash Gordon ("Aaaah! Savior of the Universe!" says Freddy Mercury) and 80s fantasy Krull ("We don't care about this one!" Queen continues). Tom quotes David Lee Roth, Joey just wants someone to Get Him, Grae is obsessed with a gay starfish, and all three of them are nostalgic for whimsy in film.

Guest host Emery Emery opens the show much stronger this week...but only because he pledges his undying allegiance to Grae, which butters her up.
