In this episode, we find out why he’s been avoiding these movies, who his favorite character is, and which character he’s most like. We also play a new game for the first (and last!) time and reflect back on the most memorable parts of this movie.

Join Joey and Joe Two as they overanalyze the first minute of this movie in great detail, and look ahead to the next 105 episodes!
