Patch stumps Tyler, our resident film scholar, with an incredible reference to Jeff Goldblum’s oeuvre.

We also FINALLY get to watch the infamous alternate ending of Independence Day. And Patch tells an insane story…about a chicken.

This week, Chuy Zarate helps out Tyler and Lulu by talking over Kenny’s amazing segue into the episode. We attempt to figure out why they wouldn’t just attach 2 nuclear weapons to the alien ship instead of just the one.

We also talk about Robert Loggia shilling for Big OJ. The actress that plays Constance gets the spotlight for a bit. And Chuy is convinced that Constance is trying to trick Goldblum into getting remarried.
