==Overview==

==Plot==
Emily, Vaz, and Charley are riding Clifford on their way to Jetta's house for a movie-watching party. Vaz's father has given him permission to take his video camera to the party because Vaz thought after watching some movies, they could make one of their own. Vaz has brought his favorite superhero movie, and Emily brought Dog of Denmark, which is a popular movie. Vaz and Charley want to watch that one first, and Emily suggests they hurry to Jetta's house, so they'll have time to watch all their movies.
Once the group arrives at Jetta's house, she shows that they have comfy seats, popcorn, juice, and a TV to watch their favorite movies on. Once everyone is seated, Emily tells Jetta that they want to watch Dog of Denmark first, but Jetta says that since it's her party, she should be the first one to pick a movie, and the first one she wants to see is The Jetta Show, which is a collection of her home movies that shows her childhood. Once it starts, Vaz and Charlie show boredom while Emily fakes interest. They're excited to see dolphins in the movie, but Jetta says it's more fun when the camera is on her.
Sometime afterwards, Clifford is watching the party from outside, and he notes that Jetta is making them watch a third Jetta Show movie. Mac says there's a whole movie called The Mac Show and offers to show it to Clifford sometime. Clifford suggests they play a game, and Mac asks what he wants to play. Clifford suggests tag, and Mac says that they've played that a lot and suggests they play jump hose, and Clifford turns for Mac. Inside, Jetta is still narrating her movies, saying that she won a spelling contest, and her mother made a spelling bee cake. Charlie is so bored that he's trying not to fall asleep while Vaz himself is already asleep. Emily continues to fake interest when there's shaking, and she sees Clifford jumping back and forth over the hose. As Jetta continues to narrate her movie, Emily is giggling, which catches Charley and Vaz's attention. Jetta now notices that her friends are not watching her movie and asks what's so funny. Emily says that they're just looking at the dogs, and Vaz recides to record it. Annoyed that her friends aren't paying any attention, Jetta tells them that they should be watching her movie, and they missed the last part. Charley and Vaz are happy that the movie is over and they can finally watch Dog of Denmark. But Jetta says that they have to watch all the part of The Jetta Show. Dismayed at having to watch another one of Jetta's home movies, Emily asks how parts The Jetta Show has, and Jetta replies that there are 25 parts. Now everyone is so bored that Emily can't fake interest anymore. Charley reminds Jetta that she said they were going to watch different videos, and Emily agrees, telling her that she said to bring their favorite ones. Jetta is aware of this, but she only wants to watch her home movies. Vaz is fed up and doesn't want to watch the next 22 parts; he wants to make a movie, and Emily and Charley agree. Jetta says that they're supposed to be watching movies, not making movies. Everyone votes on it: Emily, Vaz, and Charley want to make a movie, and Jetta wants to stay in and watch her home movies. Emily and the boys go outside, and Jetta stays in to enjoy her movies.
Outside, Charley, Vaz, and Emily are making a movie about Emily as a famous explorer trying to find a hard-to-find "Big Red Dog-asaurus". Inside, Jetta is watching another of her home movies, and she's watching the part where she participated in a pie-eating contest. She hears her friends having fun and tries to ignore it. In the homemade movie, Emily and Charley find Mac as the "Small Blue Triceradog". Inside, Jetta's home movies are still playing, but she's not watching them; instead, she's looking out her window and wondering why her friends are having fun and don't have that much fun doing what she wants. Outside, Emily finally finds Clifford as the "Big Red Dog-asaurus" when Jetta comes and asks why nobody liked doing what she wanted. Vaz said that they did have fun, but they wanted to do something else. Jetta asks what makes it so fun, and Charley says that they all have something to do in it. Charley and Emily are the actors, Vaz is the director, and the dogs are pretending to be dog versions of dinosaurs. Charlie says that it's more fun when everyone has a part than when one person makes the decisions and tells everyone what to do. Jetta realizes that she'd been doing that the entire time at the party and apologizes. Emily invites Jetta to join them in the movie and asks her to be an explorer with her, but Jetta wants to be the jungle princess who rescues everyone from the Big Red Dog-asaurus. The only problem is Clifford isn't being scary.
