Actors: Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim, Robert Loggia
PlotTim and Eric, hapless filmmakers, blow a billion dollars on a disastrous movie project that fails spectacularly, leaving them in massive debt to the sinister Schlaaang Corporation. Terrified and desperate, they flee their grim future and stumble upon an advertisement promising riches for revamping a run-down shopping mall. Seeing this as their last chance to recoup their losses, they seize the opportunity and head to the dilapidated Swallow Valley Mall. Upon arrival, they meet the eccentric owner, Damien Weebs, who entrusts them with the seemingly impossible task of restoring the mall to its former glory within a month.
As Tim and Eric dive into the renovation project, they encounter a bizarre cast of characters, including Taquito, a peculiar young man who takes residence in the mall, and the aggressive Top Gun-obsessed store manager, Allen Bishopman. Their wild schemes to attract customers—ranging from hosting strange events to installing unconventional attractions—often backfire in chaotic and unexpected ways. Despite a series of strange and comedic mishaps, Tim and Eric remain determined to turn the failing mall around. Their journey becomes a mélange of absurd situations, testing their friendship and resolve as they strive to dodge their past failures and confront the challenges of their bizarre new venture.
