### Films

#### *The Mystery of Dust*

This film was shown at a single cinema that served only cremated popcorn (grilled corn / grorn). The film is 7 days in length, and is simply a timelapse of a pile of dust. It stars Daniel Day Lewis and Hugh Jackman. It was written by Arcade Fire.

6 days and 32 hours into the film, Hugh Jackman performs the smash hit musical number *Ashes to Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust to Dust*, which was written by Denis Villeneuve. Villeneuve called into the podcast during which he pressed a button that dissolved every copy of the film into a foul-smelling mush. Sam soon pointed out the irony: that the film takes 7 days to construct, but only second to dissolve, much like a human infant.

#### *17 Weeks with a Lemon*

This film stars Dev Patel as a very large rass, Finn Wolfhard as a post-70s-pre-90s kid and Daniel Day Lewis as the titular lemon. The film lasts 74 hours, which is equivalent to 17 weeks on Pluto, where the film was shot.

This was a step-up for Dev Patel after completing the trilogy of films: *Slumdog Millionaire*, *Slumdog Billionaire* and *Richboy Slumboy*.

#### *The Vegetable Conspiracy*

This classic film noir is a live-action remake of the 1700s original. It stars David Harbour as a fisherman, Samantha Barks as three trees Daniel Day Lewis as the guy in orbit of Pluto at time of filming. The film is set in a world where vegetables exist, 3 miles South of the third-from-the-centre border of Scotland. It is 97 months in length.

The film's script is entirely narrated by Morgan Freeman (now known as Morgan Fantasticman), including the characters' dialogue, the sound effects and the film's score. Morgan Freeman appears in every cinema it shows in to perform the sounds live.

#### *Attwell's Curse 2: Return to the Farmer's Market (2007)*

This film is a sequel to *Attwell's Curse 1: The Farmer's Market* and a prequel to *Attwell's Curse 3* *(2001)* and a sequel to *Attwell's Curse 1.5 (1992)*. The creation of this film franchise was non-linear and continues to be non-linear to this day. This has had adverse effects on viewers, including George Takeshi, and the general public who have, as a result, began suffering from the influenza virus.

Daniel Day Lewis plays Attwell, alongside Daniel Dae Kim of Lost fame and Daniel Craig.

Due to the fact that this film series is non-linear, George Takeshi started watching the film when he was 4 years old and it hasn't finished yet.

#### *Shrek 11*

This film is 1 hour and 12 minutes long and was just the first 8 seconds of Smash Mouth's *All Star* looped over a large image of Shrek jumping up and down on top of Donkey. Unfortunately the teaser trailer was said to have given away massive spoilers for the film as it featured the first 8 seconds of Smash Mouth's *All Star* looped over a large image of Shrek jumping up and down on top of Donkey.

#### *Avengers XIX: Don't Put That Hammer There, You Know What'll Happen*

This film is the sequel to *Avengers XVIII: Don't Put That Hammer There, You'll Get a Parking Violation*. It is about how the Avengers defeat their arch-nemesis Thanos, who eventually gets arrested for parking tickets. This has been foreshadowed since *Avengers: Age of Ultron*. Easter eggs have been planted throughout the Avengers films, most notably in *Avengers XI: Thanos Gets his First Parking Ticket*.

One of the reasons this film was disliked so much was because every other frame was in 3D, and it was shot at 12 fps because the budget was £14.88.

#### *John Wick 4.5: John Wick Goes and Buys Some Cookies*

In this film, sometimes known as *Jo Wi*, Keanu Reeves (a.k.a. Kea Ree or Nu Ves), plays the titular character and purchases some cookies.

#### *Moving Forwards Faster than I Can Possibly Imagine*

This is Alfonso Cuarón's latest film (after the 5-year-old Netflix original *Roma* and the late-1800s classic *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban*). In this film, the director moves forwards faster than you can possibly imagine. It has been known to drive viewers to insanity. He is also said to be moving anti-East (North).

#### *Louis Theroux Throws a Brick*

This is a 5 second clip of Daniel Day Lewis as the brick, being thrown by Louis Theroux. It was panned critically for its cliffhanger, the way it moves across the scene and the fact that it was only the size of a post-it stamp.

#### *Going Beer*

From the makers of *Louis Theroux Throws a Brick*, this film is about a person who has left vegetablism / vegetarianology goes and has a pint of beer.

#### *The Mega Bloks Movie*

This is a higher-budget film similar to the premise of the indie flick, *The Lego Movie*. This film does not involve Mega Bloks in any capacity. The film is centred around the well-known actress Pratt Chris, after leaving *Parks & Recreation* in 2009 after the show was panned by critics for being too serious and the graphic violence became "too much". One of the central characters in the film is ManF7 (pronounced Manbat), voiced by Freegan Morben.

#### *Dinosaur Park*

Two children go to a park, full of dinosaurs which have been brought back to life. Everything goes wrong.
