55 - Real Genius - The Government Gets Its Come-POP-ance

The Rabbit Fighters put on their bunny slippers and head over to some random California college where nerds are cool, except for Kent.

Kent is a dick.

Also a dick? Jerry Hathaway, the dean or something of this mysterious science nerd college. He wants to make a personal space laser that vaporizes people on Earth, and has mobilized his army of geeky teens to build it.

Chief among the geeky teens is a man who does not resemble a geek at all. In fact, Chris Knight resembles Val Kilmer so much that he actually is him.

And then there's Chris's new roommate. Mitch is a 15-year-old boy with a tragic haircut who older ladies somehow can't wait to bang.

Together, Chris and Mitch team up to build the laser, reassemble a car in a dorm room, sneak into a top-secret military base, and then direct said laser to destroy the dean's house with the world's largest homemade Jiffy Pop.

This one's for Val Kilmer. RIP.
