ComedyFantasy

Two unpopular teenagers, Gary and Wyatt, fail at all attempts to be accepted by their peers. Their desperation to be liked leads them to "create" a woman via their computer. Their living and breathing creation is a gorgeous woman, Lisa, whose purpose is to boost their confidence level by putting them into situations which require Gary and Wyatt to act like men.

VIBE

This is a riotous, high-energy blast of 80s fantasy and teen comedy. It feels like a mischievous, wish-fulfillment dream, full of absurd situations and a relentless, lighthearted chaos. Expect a vibrant, over-the-top experience that's both silly and surprisingly sweet, wrapped in a distinctly retro aesthetic.
