This week our film is a period piece set in the 1970s... Er, wait, that's not right. It's set in the 1890s. James spends a decade in prison for a crime he didn't commit. To pass the time in his cell, he draws on the wall with chalk. To his surprise, he's able to enter his drawings and live out his dreams. Upon his release, James struggles to reintegrate with society and tries desperately to get back into his fantasy world.

We shake things up a bit this week by taking a slight departure from our regular format. We still come up with a movie, but on this week's episode we come up with a sequel to the 1996 film Space Jam. We know what you're thinking: Isn't there already a Space Jam sequel? There is, but it's terrible, so we set out to come up with something better. We're pretty sure we succeeded.

It's a darkly hilarious week when our Post-it Note movie takes a turn even we didn't see coming. Our main character wants to add a little levity to the world with a secret-message scavenger hunt, but a series of accidental deaths cause authorities to suspect him of being a serial killer. Just when it seems like things couldn't be any crazier, a real serial killer confronts our protagonist for squeezing in on his turf. Post-it Notes get him into the mess, but will they be his salvation?

Harkening back to the style of some of our older episodes, we take a looser definition of "Mac & Cheese" this week. The movie plot we create is a coming of age story about a couple of kids trying to work through things that even adults struggle with. The ending is bittersweet for our two main characters, and it's possible we work through some things ourselves.

If you could buy a contact lens that permanently repaired your vision, allowed you to see more colors, and gave you excellent night vision, would you buy it? What if the contact lenses were made from living tissue that eventually fused with your eyeballs? Still interested? This week, we "focus" on contact lenses that can do just that! The only trouble is, they're made with... Let's call it a foreign material, which has unexpected consequences.

Let's say it's the 1980s and you're new in town. To meet your neighbors and make some friends, you decide to host a Tupperware party. But some ditzy wannabes roll up to your crib, tell you that you're invading their turf, and demand that you cut it out. What would you do? If you're anything like the main character of our story this week, you take a chill pill, befriend a biker gang, and say, "yes way" to your future.

Oh, and those airheads from earlier? It turns out they're members of a Satanic cult, and now they want to sacrifice you to appease the Dark Lord. Gag me with a spoon, right? I wonder if your new biker gang friends might be able to help you out with your little Satanist problem...

Imagine you and a stranger are suddenly teleported to a deserted island together, where you're stuck for an entire year. Do you think you could survive? Do you think you might fall in love? What if the two of you weren't on the island alone—what if there was a magical washing machine on the island with you?

This week's episode focuses on a washing machine, and despite a bit of a rough start, we end up creating a fun romantic comedy about a couple of city-dwellers who have to set aside their differences to stay alive on an abandoned tropical island.
