We were working another job, walking into an apartment.

Sam, Dean and I had guns drawn.

Milo Greene's "What's the Matter?" was playing.

Blood was splattered over the walls and furnishings.

A body with a badly wounded leg laid on the floor.

Another body was covered with a sheet.

Sam checked the body under the sheet.

Dean walked upstairs.

I checked the body with the wounded leg.

Dean walked in and removed an iPod from its docking station, stopping the music. "Rest of the place is clear."

"Yeah," I agreed. "Uh... no ID on these guys. Um... and no clue who is painted on the walls."

"Well, whatever happened, looks like we missed it," Dean told us.

"Yeah," Sam agreed. "Great. Wait a second."

Sam pointed to a half-open laptop with a post-it note saying 'Play Me' stuck to the lid.

"What the hell?" I asked, fully opening the lid of the laptop.

"Dude, I have no idea what to make this movie about," Brian told him. "And I'm, like—I'm A/V Club President, so, you know, it's got to be good."

"Here," Michael told him. "Give me that." The screen went black for a moment as he grabbed the camera, aiming it at Brian. "I'll tell you what..."

"You're gonna make it?" Brian asked.

"...you're gonna make it about," Michael told him.

"Okay," Brian told him.

Michael aimed the camera at himself. "In a world where nothing is what is seems..." Brian laughed. "One brave, shockingly handsome, virile young man..." Michael aimed the camera at Brian. "And his faithful, learning-disabled..."

"Oh, no," Brian said.

"Robotic manservant must battle through waves..." Michael trailed off, aiming the camera at other male students in the cafe. "Of cybernetic asshats in order to sexually liberate..." He aimed the camera at a group of female students. "The women of—"
