• The Thundergun franchise was introduced in the episode "Thunder Gun Express" where the gang tried to go see it, but, as Dennis points out, they didn't because Frank called in a bomb threat.

Quotes

• Dennis: Charlie, we're here to watch, analyse, critique, and then, most importantly, judge whatever film we're gonna be shown. Uh, these filmmakers - they need valuable input and we have been carefully selected to provide it.

Dee: We were walking out of the mall and they offered us Red Lobster gift cards.

• Charlie: I'm just a little confused here, 'cause I can't follow this movie.

Moderator: The movie hasn't started yet.

• Frank: Movies are different now. You lost a sense of community.

Moderator: Interesting. Go on.

Frank: Look, years ago, before the Internet, we would all go out to the movies together.

Moderator: Yes. This is exactly what studios are trying to bring back. A-An event. A place we can all go to enjoy as a community.

Frank: Yeah. I mean, it used to be you give the creep-show at the window a couple of bucks, you could spend all day in there popping off. And the joy of it was there were people popping off at the same time. I mean, not that you looked at each other. It was dark. You weren't looking for the gay thing. But it gave you a sense of something bigger than yourself. Now, they... you know, got rid of all these movie theatres. They're taking all the sex out of the movies. And what am I supposed to do? Go home, turn the lights off, and pop off in front of Charlie? No, thanks.

Moderator: I'm sorry. Are you talking about pornography theatres?

Frank: I'm talking about community, honey.
