Gregg and Chris welcome, after over 30 episodes, their very first Tom as a guest, in the form of Thomas Velazquez, and together they talk about the fourth Mission: Impossible movie, Ghost Protocol. And in doing so, they parse what makes a franchise a franchise, tell tales of incorrect name action, recall “You Make the Call”, engage in a recap battle full of legalities, question the existence of a Thomas-verse, address matters regarding pubis, talk about Tom Selleck and Kenny Rogers, and participate in Paula Patton patter. Also: Does Chris have too many Top Toms? How many Tom Cruise movies has Thomas even seen? And what is Gregg’s “Theory of Mo’nique”?

Chris and Gregg bring in a most energetic man who lives in Japan, Julio Herrera, to talk the ups and downs and ins and outs and highs and lows of Night and Day.

Gregg brings in a special co-host, Michael (episode: Taps) Levin to fill in for Chris, who could not host on account of the scheduled guest…which Gregg and Mike discuss before introducing said guest to talk about Valkyrie. But even without Chris co-hosting, the show goes as it should, with talk of Al Roker, Gregg’s foot injury, adding to the spice, quad negatives, the communist manifesto, a t-shirt design contest, hurt feelings and apologies, Stauffenberg’s eye, Johnny Carson impressions, Bozo the Clown’s cup and balls game, and plenty of Nazi and Hitler talk. It’s a real #NotAllGermans/#YesAllJews kind of a show.

Chris and Gregg sweeten the pot when they bring “The Candy Geek” himself, Jason Liebig, onto the show to talk Lions for Lambs. The movie maybe doesn’t wow ’em, but after some international candy treats it gets them talking about Stuart Kittles, how $30,000 breaks down, Ash v. Ash v. Ash, the movie’s casts’ superhero movie roles, Tupperware parties, Shakespeare, Ultra Magnus, the Army’s buddy system, and so much more. Plus, Jason tells a tale of his game show experience, Gregg uses the word milquetoast, and Chris makes an unprecedented move during one of the show’s regular segments.

Gregg and Chris make it another family affair when they bring Mark Mariano (brother to Chris Mariano, episode Magnolia) get into the nitty gritty of Mission: Impossible III. Under the influence of chicken wings, they start with talk of lens flares and continue on to discuss how The Force works, tell a tale of QVC, play a bit of Match Game, engage in “Jabberin’ About J.J.”, and talk briefly about The Hot Sundaes video from Saved By The Bell. Plus, they ask hard-hitting questions like: where’s Greg Grundberg?, is a windmill is a propeller?, and is it a chip bag or a crackling fire?

Gregg and Chris start the meter running with Branwyn Bigglestone as their passenger to talk Collateral. Branwyn’s love for Debi Mazar and hate for slow jams are the tip of the iceberg in a chat that includes The Transporter, covers of “Ben”, uncletagonists, the power of a photo of an island, segments upon segments, a series of jinxes, and plenty of talk of Tom running.
