- "In this episode we discuss G.I. Joe: Retaliation, in which the Joes and Cobra enact brutal retaliation against the audience."
Official Show Notes[]
- "Despite being one of the more nothing movies we've ever watched, we somehow crap out what we believe to be our longest episode with G.I. Joe: Retaliation. It's a living. Meanwhile, Dan and Elliott explain what 'G.I. Joe' means, and develop President Ziggy, and Stuart reveals he's an evil land developer."

In the continuing adventures of the G.I. Joe team, Duke, second-in-command Roadblock, and the rest of the Joes face a two-fold threat. Not only is their mortal enemy COBRA rearing its ugly head again, but there is also a threat from within the U.S. government: There might be an impostor in the White House.

- “I have to say this: I'm a nerd about a lot of stupid things, a lot of childish things. But a G.I. Joe nerd is a nerd I cannot respect. Let me just say that.”
—Elliott @14:55 - “Guys, I don't know about you, but I love Jonathan Pryce. There is no way a man with that crazy a haircut would be elected president of the United States.”
