With Movie Club Night on the line, Finn and Jake rush to make an epic movie in the span of a week. Creative differences kick in and threaten their friendship when they can't agree on the genre.
Tropes
- Amateur Film-Making Plot: Finn and Jake try to make a movie after realizing that all pre-war media might still be under copyright and shouldn't be watched.
- Battle Discretion Shot: Just as soon Jake starts attacking Mr. Cupcake, the scene switches to Shelby as he looks directly at the camera and says... Check, Please!
- Check, Please!: Jake wants to make the movie a romantic comedy, and keeps trying to shoe-horn the line "Nyeh, check please!" into various scenes.
- Continuity Cavalcade: This episode features more recurring characters interacting together than any previous one.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Jake starts a fight when Mr. Cupcake start genuinely flirt at Lady Rainicorn during the wedding scene.
- Creative Differences: In-universe Finn and Jake butt heads over whether the movie they're making is action-adventure or a romantic-comedy.
- Digital Piracy Is Evil: Parodied when Finn and Jake decide that they can't carry on showing pre-war movies to their friends, after noticing a copyright warning before one. This is despite the fact there is no-one from the pre-war era left to enforce this rule and it's totally acceptable for them to watch it with their friends as it's a run of the mill movie night.
- Forced Perspective: Finn tries to use this to make it look like Princess Bubblegum is riding in a chariot scaled to be pulled by a frog.
- Friend to All Living Things: Slime Princess manages to make friends with the crocodiles before they eat her.
- Friendship Moment: BMO, instead of creating a movie from Finn and Jake's footage, creates an animation to make them recognize that they shouldn't fight over their creative differences.
- Honor Before Reason: Finn insists on obeying the FBI warnings on all their pre-Mushroom War video tapes, even though the FBI was destroyed in said war.
- Innocuously Important Episode: While most of the episode is simply focused around Finn and Jake making a movie, it's also the first time the Great Mushroom War is referenced by name.
- Introdump: Finn's deliberately awkward "Shelby, the worm who lives in Jake's viola".
- No Stunt Double: Invoked when Finn and Jake try to get Slime Princess to seriously risk her life for an action sequence.
- Noodle Incident: Various strange and random things are seen in Finn and Jake's early observational footage.
- One, Two, Skip a Few: The credits of this episode lampshade how many candy characters appear by crediting the voice actors for the unnamed ones with completely random high numbers.
- Unlimited Wardrobe: Averted when Marceline, who usually has a new costume each episode, wears her costume from "It Came From the Nightosphere" in the final scene.
