Pierre has never worked with celebrities from the world of show business therefore an average interview goes haywire and transforms into a fierce battle of wits and sensual wills.

Val Resnick (Gregg Henry), a member of a powerful criminal syndicate, must pay off a debt to his bosses. He draws his old pal and smart criminal partner, Porter (Mel Gibson), into a $140,000 heist from a Chinese gang. Assisted by Porter’s wife, Lynn (Deborah Kara Unger), they successfully rob the mob’s car. But the greedy and lowdown Resnick arrives at a conclusion that having all the money is better than half. Val, like a subtle psychologist, shows Lynn a photo of her husband in the arms of a fancy lady (Maria Bello) and gets what he has bargained for: the jealous, betrayed wife kills her own husband with two shots in the back. Without feeling a shred of guilt or remorse, they take all the dough and leave Porter for dead. Nonetheless, Porter survives the attack and five months later he is back, seeking his share and revenge on his ex-partner.

This whaked out anime short pulls out all the stops, making fun of every aspect of the story and filmmaking in general. Britain Dunham speaks like Arnold Schwarzenegger as "The Tinmanator" in this adaptation of the L. Frank Baum classic of the girl carried to a fantastic realm who must seek out the Wizard to get home.
