BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
We're at a garage sale and Jennifer and Dani are shopping around looking for fun stuff for their scarecrow. Jennifer finds a locket in a jacket pocket. Classic Jennifer.
Jennifer is a part of a book club that does murder mystery parties for charity and they're getting ready to do a Lizzie Borden show. The cast gets into a bit of an argument when it comes to showcasing both sides of the case. THEN, the book that they're using as a historical artifact goes missing! While looking for the book, Jennifer comes across a dead body! It's Isaac Simmons - he was one of the guys really upset about showing both sides of the case. I'll be honest - there's one guy who is an obvious suspect - the guy who runs this inn. He has keys to all the rooms and is just real awkward. Luckily, Detective Frank was already there because he showed up with Jennifer to be a part of the murder mystery. So he immediately begins pulling everyone in for questioning. Jennifer is helping Isaac's stepdaughter, Sierra, when she sees that she has the missing book. UH OH! She claims she has NO IDEA how it got there!
Turns out, only Carol's prints are on the book. Who is Carol? She's the one who was leading the murder mystery and brought the book to the party.
In a crazy turn of events, the murder mystery party is still a go! And everyone is still in as long as Detective Frank is out.
Bad news though - Jennifer gets hit over the head by someone cuz she keeps snooping around! Everyone is so incredibly suspicious and so down to continue with the play.
So, they decide to go forward with it but keep an eye on all the suspects. What we don't know is that Jennifer looked in the closet yesterday and there were 3 door knobs, now there's only 2. That means it could only be one person - the guy who runs the inn! He admits it really easily. They all celebrate.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Alright, here's what you need to know. In 2018, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, used a time-travel device to go back and prevent the death of his girlfriend, Vanessa.
He eventually makes his way to the Sacred Timeline, hoping to join the Avengers. Unfortunately for Wade, Happy Hogan turns him down, so he heads back to his own universe.
Six years later, things aren't exactly going great. Wade and Vanessa have broken up, he's retired the Deadpool suit, and he's now selling used cars alongside his friend and former teammate Peter.
During his birthday party, Wade is suddenly taken by the Time Variance Authority - something that obviously needs to exist now - and brought before Mr. Paradox. Paradox explains that the TVA exists outside of time and monitors the Sacred Timeline and the larger multiverse. He offers Wade a chance to leave his universe behind and become part of the Sacred Timeline, but there's a catch: Wade's universe is slowly dying because its "anchor being," Logan, is dead.
Paradox plans to speed up the process with a device called the Time Ripper. Wade isn't exactly thrilled with that plan because he's quite fond of his universe, so he steals Paradox's device that allows him to travel to Logan's grave, hoping he can somehow bring him back to life, Evanescence style. When that doesn't work, Wade starts jumping across the multiverse looking for a different version of Logan, aka Wolverine, who can take Logan's place in his universe.
Eventually, Wade brings one back to the TVA, but Paradox isn't impressed. This Logan is apparently the worst Wolverine in the entire multiverse, and Paradox explains that an anchor being can't simply be replaced. Wade also realizes that Paradox is doing all of this without the approval of his bosses, so Paradox sends Wade and Logan to the Void.
Wade convinces Logan that the TVA might be able to change his past, giving the two of them a reason to work together and escape the Void. Instead, they are captured alongside Johnny Storm, who looks a whole lot like Captain America, and brought before Cassandra Nova, the powerful and extremely unhinged twin sister of Charles Xavier.
Cassandra has made a deal with the TVA to rule the Void, and she quickly proves that she's not someone Wade wants to mess with. She kills Johnny and leaves Wade and Logan to be eaten by a giant smoke creature, but the two manage to escape.
After meeting a couple of Deadpool variants, including Nicepool and Dogpool, Wade and Logan are pointed toward a resistance group fighting against Cassandra. They find this group and Deadpool proposes an alliance and they attack Cassandra. They fight real good but Cassandra ultimately heals herself and sends Wade and Logan back to Earth-10005.
Cassandra learns about the Time Ripper and now wants to use it to destroy every timeline and leave nothing behind except the Void, cuz she's the bad guy in a Marvel movie.
Paradox finally reveals that the Time Ripper can be destroyed, but doing so would require one person to disrupt its power source and sacrifice themselves. Wade and Logan refuse to let the other make that sacrifice, so they do it together. The two of them manage to destroy the Time Ripper, killing Cassandra in the process, and survive via the power of friendship.
Paradox is arrested and Earth-10005 is saved. Logan is allowed to stay in Wade's universe. Wade is reunited with his friends and Logan encourages Wade to finally make things right with Vanessa.
