Ughh!

Lady Luck lights some scented candles and draws a hot bath for the soap opera disguised as a movie...Soda Springs.  Eden was arrested for killing people while drunk driving.  He returns to his hometown after serving his time to find his ex-wife remarried, his child playing baseball, his mother obsessively pining over his dead father, a pair of cops who take orders from a used car salesmen, and a ghost.  You got all of that?

My name is Odd Thomas

A clairvoyant detective of sorts fights a mallpocolypse and CG creatures call Bodeks.  Based off a Dean Koontz series of books, Odd Thomas dares to be uneven in tone, ignoring simple editing cuts, and yet still manages to be fun.  Lady Luck is making Zac and Biggs scratch their heads.

It's holding, Captain

When a megashark breaks out from an iceberg being towed by a tugboat to Egypt, the US military upgrades their mechashark to do battle with it.  Scientist Debbie Gibson also stars in Megashark vs Mechashark.  Seriously, Lady Luck?

Big uppercut by Martinez

Lady Luck really sucks right now.  She forces Biggs and Zac to watch the so-bad-it's-terrible movie Never Back Down 2:  The Beatdown.  It's so horrible that massive amounts of alcohol are consumed and the show is turned into a commentary just so that they didn't have to watch it and talk about it later.  It's the story about MMA fighters punching notebook paper.  No, really.

Oh yeah...that was for all you pinheads out there too hip to take your jackets off in this ninety-five degree heat.

Lady Luck toys with Zac, Biggs, and special guest Aaron Donaldson.  Three idiots (Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, and Brendan Frasier) have difficulty getting anyone to listen to the demo they've recorded for their band.  They try to get it played on the radio...and wind taking hostages instead.  Now everyone wants to hear them, the police want to arrest them, and women want to love them (except Buscemi).  Chris Farley, Ernie Hudson, Joe Mantenga, Michael Richards, and Michael McKean also star in 1994's Airheads.

Don't worry it's just a pack of wolves

Lady Luck splits Zac and Biggs with the 1995 family adventure Jumanji.  A child finds a game uncovered by an excavation.  He begins to play and finds himself stuck within the game for twenty-six years.  The game then falls into the hands two children (one played by Kirsten Dunst).  They free the child now grown into a man (Robin Williams) and realize they have to finish playing the game before the town's torn up by Bad CGI animals.  May God have mercy on our souls.

Will, you're way early for the new stock.

A man sells his Fantastic Four issue #1 for a ring and goes to propose to his girlfriend.  He finds her nailing a guy named Steve...and even worse...she doesn't know who Johnny Storm is.  Heartbroken, he returns his stalker father's rented tape and discovers a magic VHS tape that allows him to be attractive to the ladies.  Along the way he finds true love.  That's right, Lady Luck has given Zac and Biggs the throwback comedy Screwed:  The movie.

Does this word not sound like the deathbird calling your name at midnight?

Lady Luck takes us back to 1922 for the silent movie that first ushered vampires to the silver screen.  Nosferatu, played by Max Schreck, goes by the name Count Orlock.  He has his minion, Knock, summon the film's protagonist named Hutter up to his castle.  He soon learns that his host is a vampire feeding off of him nightly.  He escapes to rush home and help his somewhat suicidal wife before Orlock moves in next door.  The body count rises and horror ensues.
