Two films share a word — the end of one title is the start of the other, like THE GREEN MILE 22 or SHAUN OF THE DEAD POETS SOCIETY. We've merged their plots into a single deadpan synopsis. Your job: work out both films. The gloriously silly mashup title is your reward, revealed only when you solve it.
Six hints, in escalating order of generosity: first an expanded synopsis — a much more detailed version of the merged plot, character names included; then a star of each film; then each film's release year; and finally the joining word itself, which usually cracks the whole thing open. Hints are counted in your share, so a teaser-only solve is the connoisseur's badge.
The teaser always contains at least one identifiable beat from each film — if a plot detail feels weirdly specific, it is. Work out one film first, then reread the teaser: everything that doesn't belong to your solved film belongs to the other. And keep titles in mind while you read; since the films must share a boundary word, a guessed first film dramatically narrows what the second can be.
