Please Make This

In a far off (hopefully) distant future, extreme weather has made it so endless winter grips the world for all but one week a year. For this one week, though, life is great. An annual hyper-concentrated summer break where everyone comes out of their bunkers to party and live the lives they can’t under the ice. For one group of friends, Max, Tank, Eleanor, and Juliet, this means headin’ on down to Sporty’s Bar for some country line dancing. After a disappointing previous summer-week, the ladies of “The Thawed Hearts” up the ante to make sure the next one is perfect. Will these wild women boot, scoot, n’ boogie into a successful summer? Or is the pressure to perform, learn, grow, fall in love and live for the first time in months too much for these cool customers? Yeeee-thaw!

In this PMT Miniseries, Hobert and Mike sit down to tear apart a movie they didn’t like so they can put it back together. They’re not script doctors, they’re script butchers. In this episode they hold up their hands dramatically and try to tame Jurassic World: Dominion. Can the Dino-boys fix Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic Park sequel that desperately wants to be a Star Wars sequel? Well, no, of course not, this movie’s already been made, that’s not how this show works. Instead, they just imagine a better movie where all the JP characters come together to hunt dinosaurs and everyone dies at the end to guarantee there’s no chance of another sequel. 

Hank Barness is a suburban dad at the end of his rope. His daughter’s tap dance recital is coming up and between the tip-tapping of his dancing daughter and the tension of his marriage, he needs a break. Luckily, he finds a service willing to help with his very specific problem: The Takers. For a reasonable fee, this team of former spies fakes kidnappings for politicians, spouses, and even parents who need a reason to disappear for a while. But as Hank settles into his brief, fabricated imprisonment, he realizes how much he misses his family, and with the help of his wife and his best friend, he stages a very real escape to a very fake situation.

In a world of reboots and extended franchises, exists yet another reboot of an early 90's franchise : Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

Join our resident daters as they sit down for yet another date night watching the 2022 reboot that maybe, just maybe, really needed to happen!

After his inexplicable transformation, Will must adjust to his new life as a werewolf, learning to balance being both a nocturnal creature and an aspiring journalist.

In this PMT Miniseries, Hobert and Mike sit down to tear apart a movie they didn’t like so they can put it back together. They’re not script doctors, they’re script butchers. In this episode they try to inject some life into Morbius (the living vampire), an anemic action romp with way too much Jared Leto in it. Join the rippers as they reimagine Morbius as a patient character study about a doctor driven to kill, a pair of budding vampire hunters, and the woman he loves across a cursed century of blood and medicine. That sounds way better, right? And he’s Jewish now!

John Mann is a man with a secret: he’s not a human, but an alien observer sent to watch over the planet from a distant, curious planet. John might be smiling with his human face, but inside his man suit, the awkward alien longs for freedom to be himself. When John travels to a nudist resort that promises a chance to “be in your own skin,” he unwittingly reveals his secret and sets off an alien invasion panic among the resort’s crunchy nudist clientele. With the help of Ruthie, the daughter of the camp’s cantankerous owners, John sets out to cover his tracks and maybe even have some fun in the sun at Camp New Horizons.
