Netflix Roulette: Summer Blockbuster Edition
Get ready for a night of unpredictable hilarity as we put a new spin on the biggest summer blockbusters of all time!
From Ghostbusters to The Dark Knight, Grease to Pirates of the Caribbean, no movie is safe as we spin the wheel to decide which iconic film we’ll tackle next.
But there’s a twist! Each movie comes with a secret envelope challenge that will turn the story upside down. Will Maverick and Goose ride tricycles instead of jets? What if Batman was afraid of the dark? What if E.T. was more of a monster who crash lands in Hawaii? Wait, that one’s been done… but the ones we do will be original and based on your suggestions!
Anything can happen, so grab your popcorn and prepare for the unexpected!
