BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

We open with a flashback to the days when Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne were the original Ant-Man and Wasp. Things are going great until Janet gets trapped in the Quantum Realm, which, as it turns out, is not an ideal vacation destination.

Fast forward to after the events of Civil War. Scott Lang is nearing the end of his house arrest and trying to stay out of trouble. Hank and Hope briefly open a tunnel to the Quantum Realm, which somehow causes Scott to have a vision of Janet as a little girl playing hide-and-seek. Instead of questioning any of this, everyone decides it's proof that Janet is still alive.

Hope and Hank kidnap Scott, replacing him with a giant ant wearing his ankle monitor. The trio sets out to rescue Janet, but first they need a special part from shady businessman Sonny Burch. Sonny immediately realizes there's money to be made and betrays them, leading to a fight with a mysterious masked woman called Ghost, who steals Hank's entire portable laboratory.

Trying to get their lab back, they visit Hank's old partner Bill Foster, who explains that Ghost is actually Ava Starr, the daughter of another former colleague whose experiment went very, very wrong. Ava is now phasing in and out of existence and is constantly in pain. Her plan? Steal Janet's Quantum Realm energy to save herself. The only problem is that doing so might kill Janet.

Meanwhile, Janet starts sending messages from the Quantum Realm and provides directions. She warns them they only have a couple of hours before the Quantum Realm decides to strand them for another hundred years.

Things get complicated. Sonny learns where they are. The FBI arrests Hank and Hope. Ava steals the lab. It's alot but also nothing.

Eventually, Scott helps everyone escape, they recover the lab, and Hank ventures into the Quantum Realm to rescue Janet. He finds her alive, looking surprisingly well for someone who's spent decades trapped in a dimension beyond space and time.

What follows is a giant chase across San Francisco featuring shrinking buildings, growing cars, a whole lot of size changing. While Scott and Hope deal with Sonny and Ghost, Hank successfully brings Janet home. Rather than holding a grudge, Janet uses her Quantum powers to stabilize Ava and save her life.

In the end, Scott finally completes his house arrest, Sonny gets arrested, Ava and Bill go into hiding, and everyone seems happy.

But then the mid-credits scene happens. And it's no longer happy go lucky time. Scott heads back into the Quantum Realm to collect healing energy for Ava. Just as he's ready to come home, Hank, Hope, and Janet all turn to dust thanks to Thanos. Scott is left trapped in the Quantum Realm.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

We meet pro tennis player Luke Hollis. He is an angry boy. But he wins a big tournament and then promptly quits. He's moving to Florida and his agent can't stop him!

We then meet Caroline. She works at a Racquet club. They've recently converted the courts to pickleball to capitalize on the trend. Will it be enough to save the club by Christmas? Because if not, it's over!!!!

Luke gets home for Christmas. His dad is the owner of said Racquet club. And Luke pitches him letting him take over the club - call it the Luke Hollis Champions Center. They tell him the bad news about probably losing the center.

He gets to the club the next day and is super mad to find out that his tennis court has been turned into a pickleball court!

But when he finds out that this Christmas day pickleball tournament might be the club's last chance to save it, he tries to figure out how to help. He finds a partner to help broadcast the tournament. The problem is the money they're going to spend isn't going to the club, rather to the winner of the tournament. That prize money is enough to save the club, so Luke decides he's going to compete.

So Caroline agrees to help him learn this sport and next thing you know, they're hooking up in the shed.

At the club holiday party, Caroline and Luke go together, and his parents make an announcement naming Luke the next club owner, if they're able to make it another week.

Somehow, Caroline gets the idea that Luke is going to get rid of pickleball. She leaves the party and then avoids him until the Christmas day tournament.

He realizes that something is up and just says lock it in. But she can't do it anymore. During the championship, she tries to throw the match! Luke tells her that she misunderstood! They put on matching shirts and go out there and WIN!!!

Cut to one year later, the club is thriving. Luke's sister comes to get Caroline saying that Luke's injured and needs her to come quick. It's a fake injury! And he proposes with the ring inside of a pickleball.

BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 6) SYNOPSIS

The Gilmore girls show up for Friday night dinner and Richard and Emily don't even notice them there as they're having a big argument over whether or not Emily's social calendar is important or not. So embarrassing!

And the arguments keep coming. The next morning, they walk into Luke's and see Luke demanding Jess go up and change when he comes down in a Metallica shirt. So embarrassing!

Emily is hanging out with her friends and they're all giving her a hard time for missing events due to Richard's work schedule when Rory shows up. When they see her, they all demand that she comes out! Comes out of where, you ask? Apparently, in high class society, you present a lady at the Debutante Ball when she is officially a woman. I dunno man. Sounds icky. Lorelai finds out about this and is like no way I'm letting you do that, but Rory insists that she really wants to! And she also really wants her dad to come. So Lorelai calls and fully expects him to not be able to come but he says he's there! And shockingly, he does show up. Even more shockingly, he shows up in a car and not a motorcycle. Even more shockingly, HE HAS A JOB! It's hard to not notice the sparks that fly between Lorelai and Christopher, especially when they show off their ballroom dancing skills.

When they get to the ball, they're both looking fancy, flirty flirty fun time. But Emily and Richard aren't having that same good time. They just keep arguing about how busy he is! Just as the event is about to start, Lorelai looks back and sees her parents still arguing. He just keeps talking about how work is crazy and all Emily cares about is these silly events. He explains that he knows he's being phased out of the business. Emily is like so what? That doesn't go well. And then they all rush in to watch Rory walk in with Christopher and Emily whispers to Lorelai "that should've been you" and then she walks off.

As the evening comes to an end, Lorelai tells Christopher that she'd like to see him more now that he's living in Boston. They end up kissing and she asks him to stay. He says it's a tempting offer but he has to get back to Boston for work...and for someone. And it's kind of serious. They're living together. She handles it well but after he walks away, you can see a wee bit of hurt in her eyes.

The Gilmore girls are back at Luke's laughing as they watch Jess clean the diner wearing one of Luke's flannels and a backwards hat. Lorelai tells Rory that she's happy that she has someone to complain to when life gets hard. That leads Lorelai to go to Emily's house the next day, just to hang. She tells Emily that if there's ever anything she needs to talk about, she can talk to her.
