A mockumentary starring Jerry Stiller as Morty Fineman, a independent filmmaker who once had a long running streak of success in making [[ExploitationFilm Exploitation Movies]] (427 of 'em, in fact), but has since fallen on hard times. The film focuses on Fineman's attempts to make a comeback by seeking out the rights to make a biography of a notorious serial killer. This is actually a pretense to seek funding to complete another movie, ''Mrs. Kavorkian''. Things don't go over so well when the serial killer insists that his biography be told as a musical.

The in-universe story goes that the movie was scripted as a ''Free Willy'' rip-off, but the producers wanted the whale to be changed to a cop, so we see a scene from the movie where a kid has to let the title character (played by Creator/BenStiller) go "to be with the other cops". The cop is acting like a whale for much of the scene, then stands up and begins exhibiting human behavior...up until the point where he spits water like ''{{Flipper}}''.
