Day 21: "Halve"

"We've got this entire puzzle to ourselves! What do you want to do with it, Timon?"
"I was thinking I'd do as little as possible."
"Really? I want to go all out! I want to leave people saying 'Wow, Timon and Pumbaa! They're not just a classic comedy duo, they're top-notch puzzle artists!'"
"Are we, though?"

"Kim Basinger! Va va voom! But does it really go on for one-and-nine-tenths—"
"Shh! You're giving it away!"
"Sorry. Is it really... thirteen days, seven hours, and twelve minutes long?"
"Boy, I hope not."

"Oh, this is a good one! You can play as Earthworm Jim! And Boogerman!"
"Of course you'd spring for Boogerman. I'm picking Ickybod."
"I don't know about these graphics, though..."
"Well, what do you expect from the Nintendo 46 2/33?"

"Hey, it's our movie! And it takes place in between the first one and the second one, right?"
"I can see why you'd think that, but this one actually takes place... 18/22 of the way through the first movie. Right around when you say—"
"THEY CALL ME MISTER PIG!"
"Exactly."

"I remember this! This is the one where Lwaxana wants to marry the guy, but the guy has to fix the sun, and then the guy's planet says they have to euthanize him, because he's reached one-eighth of the age of... Do I remember this?"
"Does she marry the guy?"
"No, because... because of the Prime Directive, or something."

"Uh-oh. Something seedy is going on."
"Not every single Steely Dan song is about something seedy. This guy just loves a nice lady, and she loves him, and the sailors can get their red beans and rice for just a dime—two twentieths of a dollar. It's very wholesome."
"But it's in New Orleans! You're telling me Steely Dan wrote a wholesome song about New Orleans?"

"Can we just watch the part where he offers his kingdom for 4/21 of a horse?"
"Eh, no thanks. I don't really see us as Shakespeare guys."

"This sounds like a B-side."
"It's an album track! It's on Wowee Zowee!"
"Can you understand any of the lyrics?"
"Sure I can. It's about witch trials, and keeping your head up... Okay, I understand like five-twelfths of the lyrics."

"Uh-oh. This one could get us in some trouble."
"It's fine, it's fine. We'll just be very, very careful. This guy is, a, waterfowl..."
"—a waterfowl who is in no way affiliated with the Disney Corporation and we're not gonna show his face or say his name—"
"...and he's imitating a classic space opera hero..."
"—who also isn't affiliated with the Disney Corporation, although I doubt if whoever owns his rights could sue us the way Warner Bros. could—"
"...and he's in the year 1781..."
"—or, to be more precise, the 17-and-18/22nd century."

Answer Checker:

Hints: All the media Timon and Pumbaa are referencing have fractions somewhere in their titles. Fill in the blanks with the REST of the title, that is, the non-fraction part. Then you have to do some math with the fraction in the title and the number that Timon and Pumbaa mention.
