The buffs review two TV classics rebooted for the silver screen. Plus, Gregg relays some sad news.

===== Synopsis =====
A nice big vape hit from Tim opens the show. He explains that he is "medicating" his now gangrenous burn wounds, which now nauseate him due to both the pain //and// the stench. After introducing his noticeably forlorn guest, Gregg Turkington, Tim announces that his skin transplant is only weeks away. The "semifinalist" skin donors are [[mark]], [[john]], [[joe]], [[manuel]], and [[axiom]], and the finalists will be announced [[s09e04|next week]].

Tim asks Gregg about the latest news from Victorville. As it turns out, the [[vfc]] has tragically been burned down. Tim says the cause was likely ungrounded electrical wiring, but Gregg seems rather skeptical. Gregg is encouraged to spend more time at [[sixbag]], but his thousand-yard stare betrays his feelings about the idea. Before getting to the movies, Tim orders the popcorn shrimp and homemade flatbread with truffle oil, with a pilsner to drink. Tim asks Mark how he feels about being a skin donor semifinalist; he seems ambivalent, and rather miffed about not being consulted about it.

First up is the comedy film //CHiPs//, based on a TV show about two motorcycle cops. Tim loved it; Gregg sets the record straight about CHiPs being a "remake." He says it is "its own thing" since the original was a TV show, not a movie. For //Power Rangers//, Tim instantly pushes Gregg's buttons by describing it as a "remake" of the original Power Rangers TV show. He dismisses Gregg's argument as simply "splitting hairs." Instead of reviewing //Power Rangers// in depth, Gregg describes going through the wreckage of the VFC, where he found one of Tim's scarves. Tim denies the not-so-subtle implication, and changes the subject by singing the praises of his just-arrived food. Except, that is, for its uncomfortable spice level.

After a premature dimming of the lights, Gregg begins a Popcorn Classics segment, initially interrupted by an argument between Tim and Mark due to the latter's substandard waitering. The selection is //A Vow to Kill//, which Gregg says is now "the [[vfa]]" as it is the last surviving tape from his collection.
