This week the Time Pals finally did it—We finished fixing the rest of the Academy's gross mistakes—and for the surprisingly competitive decade of 2010 to 2020. We discuss the films that deservedly had a chance at greatness and remove the ones that Jon liked because, ya know, it's JON.

How would you answer the questions like, “John Candy vs Chris Farley: Pick one and the other's entire catalogue disappears forever!”, “If you have just enough time to watch one last movie before you die (hopefully going out in a hail of bullets like John Dillinger) what would it be?”, and “If you could choose five liquids to shoot from your fingers what would they be?” Join the Time Pals for the follow-up to “The Nickell Vicinity” with “The Nickell Velocity 2: 2 Nickell 2 Furious!” Wanna play along?
