We reach the second silent movie to win Best Picture, and it only took 83 years. French-made silent era throwback The Artist claims Best Picture, and briefly launches Jean Dujardin in America, through nostalgia, hijinks, and one adorable dog. Erin, Claire, and Dan find themselves charmed, partially from having experienced this era at the beginning of this journey. But audiences were flocking to Brazil, as the Fast and Furious films evolved into their best self with Fast Five, in which Dom and Brian form a supergroup of car-based criminals to pull off a heist while avoiding the pursuit of Dwayne Johnson's Agent Hobbs. Dan and Claire are excited to talk Fast Saga, Erin is experiencing it for the first time: how does it treat her? Does the Artist top the Fast Gang? Find out!

But the audience came out in droves for one "last" adventure with Woody, Buzz, and the gang in Toy Story 3, a movie where the hosts struggle to find nits to pick, beyond stern warnings NOT to unpack how this world works. Who was best? Or cutest? find out!
