The Blindside

The Blindside is the 4th episode in the series.

Plot
Matt goes temporarily blind after watching the original Star Wars trilogy in succession and sitting inches away from the screen while doing so. Picking him up from the hospital, Jay practices with devil sticks before a passerby sarcastically remarks on their coolness. At home, Matt suggests they do a Star Wars-themed Nirvanna the Band act and incorporate the devil sticks as lightsabers, realizes Matt's ideas (including also using their Nintendo 64 on stage and his love of the film Ernest Goes to Jail) are uncool, and he collects all of Matt's uncool things and puts them in a box outside.

Matt gets his impressive Han Solo costume delivered, planning to wear it to the premiere of The Force Awakens that Jay had planned a trip to. Realizing Matt will not be able to tell the difference in costume, Jay takes the costume for himself and dresses Matt in a shoddy one. At the premiere, Jay is complimented on his costume, while Matt's is ignored or met with confusion. As they sit down to watch the film, Jay narrates the visuals to Matt, being that he cannot see the screen. This sparks an argument with two fans behind them, and the four are thrown out of the showing. Believing his blindness ruined Jay's night, Matt tries to give him the costume's blaster to hold, only to find Jay had swapped it with a banana. As Matt realizes Jay's deception and leaves, Jay and the cameraman are forcefully ejected from the theater for illegally filming. As he looks for Matt, Jay is approached by the two fans they got thrown out and runs away.

Returning home, Jay looks regretfully at the box of Matt's things he took out. As he goes to take them back inside, the fans find and attack him, only to be stopped by Matt, now dressed like Daredevil. After a long fight, (in which he uses the devil sticks) Matt defeats them both. Jay apologizes for his deception and Matt realizes the fans are trying to escape. He runs after their car, only to get run down while standing in the road. Still blind and now with a broken leg, Matt sadly remarks that he never got to see the movie. Jay takes out a camcorder and plays a bootleg video one of the cameramen took of the entire movie, narrating it to Matt.

Matt suggests that they make a movie to increase publicity. As he tries to imitate the Dreamworks logo, he falls and injures his already broken leg.

Notes & trivia

 * The Blindside is a semi-remake of a Nirvana the Band webseries episode in which Matt goes blind from looking at the sun. 
 * The opening title sequence refrences Daredevil, the Netflix original series about a blind crimefighter. 
 * In the beginning of the episode, Jay plays with devil sticks and mentions that to be cool, you have to get a triple flip, rather than a double flip. This is a callback to the Nirvana the Band webseries, where "triple jumps" are often referenced.
