Garden Hose
In the style of a Stephen Chow kung fu comedy, our story this week focuses on a lazy martial arts student who must avenge his master’s death. He travels to the sifu’s village in the countryside and learns that his deceased teacher actually wasn’t that good of a martial artist. Luckily, everyone else in the village is, and he eventually learns to master the form. He returns to the city to confront the leader of the gang that killed his sifu, hoping to defeat him with a garden hose.
Bread Maker
A benevolent local witch takes a runaway teen under her wing and begins to teach her magic. Being modern times, instead of a cauldron, the teen casts her spells in an enchanted bread maker. When the witch leaves town for a couple of days, the teen and a new friend of hers accidentally curse the children of the town in a story that we promise isn’t just a rehash of Practical Magic.
Flashlight
Our story is set a tiny world, whose existence is protected from unknown dangers in the dark by a beam of light from a flashlight. But this world is in peril: The light beam is shrinking as the battery in the flashlight is dying, and none of them can replace it. Some citizens believe they should develop their own light source, but an authoritative religious sect has banned this research as heresy. Eventually, a splinter group decides to leave the town and venture through the darkness in search of a fabled land with more light than anyone has ever seen…
Paper Clip
A once-popular restaurant is thrown into chaos when the staff incorrectly assumes they are being judged for a Michelin star. Things quickly go off the rails, and they have to burn down their relationships with each other in order to rebuild them and come out stronger. And all of this because of a single, stupid paper clip.
Lunch Box
An aging child star tries to recapture his fame when props from the TV show that made him famous go up for auction. We meet a colorful cast of characters, all vying for a famous lunch box and screen time in this mockumentary-style story.
Jelly Beans
A group of kids learn to work together to escape from a giant after magical jelly beans lead to a sugary world in the clouds in this “sweet” take on Jack and the Beanstalk.
Newspaper
A man learns a magical ability that allows him to enter photographs in newspapers. He tries to use this ability to clear his brother’s name after a hit-and-run, only to discover that his brother really is guilty. Also, we are once again taught the lesson that writing is hard.
Penny
An orphan finds an enchanted penny that transports her 100 years into the past. A father and son take her in, and despite initially being a fish out of water, she eventually realizes that she has found her home.
Paper Bag
Our attractive main character argues with a friend of hers that beauty does not positively affect success in life. The friend disagrees, and the two women bet on it. Now the attractive woman must wear a paper bag on her head in all social situations, and be just as successful at the end of 30 days as she is going into it. That means keeping her job and boyfriend, both of which are threatened almost immediately. Despite learning her lesson early on, the woman is determined to win the bet, and discovers a new way of navigating the world.
Toilet Brush
You probably don’t think much of your toilet brush. Oh sure, you may be grateful it gets shoved into your toilet to do the cleaning so you don’t have to stick your hand down there, but no one would ever make an entire movie about a toilet brush right? Well…
On this week’s episode, we get down and dirty with the idea of a toilet brush playing a central role in a film. What could our toilet brush movie even be about? How could it be anything but gross? And how does Denny’s fit into it all?
