In our final summer short, Sam finds weird entries in popular franchises and has Danielle guess which of the three descriptions is the real deal. Spoiler... an elephant may be impregnated by aliens? Maybe. Danielle is not great at this game. #xfiles #disney #startrek

Spook Retorts 🎃 is back and hitting another classic horror franchise with Danielle's recap of Halloween III: Season of the Witch. The Halloween movie that somehow has no Michael Myers and, arguably, very little witch. Also... they steal Stonehenge?

Danielle goes old school rom-com in this recap of Simply Irresistible. Which features Sarah Michelle Gellar somehow getting cooking skills from a magic crab. Sam is surprisingly invested. #crabfactcorner

Shorts season is over! Featuring three famous franchises, Sam chooses the weirdest episode of each to describe. He gives Danielle three possible summaries, but plot twist: only one of the summaries is real. Can Danielle guess the actual plot? #xfiles #disney #startrek

That's right! Thanks to Filip at @mindduckbooks, Danielle is back with more crabs the size of large animals with the recap of Killer Crabs by Guy N. Smith. Murder crabs. A suitcase full of money. The return of Cliff Davenport marine boton-alogist! What more could you want?

A Disney Channel Original that isn't recapped by Danielle?! 😱🤯 That's right. Sam takes on the DCOM made for him with Smart House. The absolute horror show of a movie about what happens when AI goes unchecked. His favorite.

Sam recaps Inspector Gadget 2 with almost no knowledge of Inspector Gadget 1. As usual, we quickly realize the movie is a dystopian horror show.
