Bill's favorite is... Zombeavers [2014]
They're ferocious, they're furry, they're Zombeavers, the stars of this 2015 horror-comedy. When a trio of sexy college girls arrive at a remote cabin for a weekend getaway, their vacation is quickly jeopardized by a hungry bear, a menacing hunter, and the girls' own party-crashing boyfriends. However, these preliminary disturbances are nothing compared to what lurks in the lake by the cabin: The result of a local chemical spill, a horde of bloodthirsty, zombified beavers closes in.
Sally's favorite is... Highlander II: The Quickening [1991]
Once again Conner MacLeod calls up the spirit of his mentor Juan Ramirez and together they join in one final, fiery battle to save mankind.
(It is important to note, that there were four more movies and three TV shows. Highlander II was not, apparently, the final battle.)
Sean's favorite is... PG: Psycho Goreman [2020]
Mimi and Luke unwittingly resurrect an ancient alien overlord who was entombed on Earth millions of years ago after a failed attempt to destroy the universe. They nickname the evil creature Psycho Goreman (or PG for short) and use the magical amulet they discovered to force him to obey their childish whims. It isn't long before PG's reappearance draws the attention of intergalactic friends and foes from across the cosmos, and a roguesâ‚‚ gallery of alien combatants converges in small-town suburbia to battle for the fate of the galaxy.
Jenny's favorite is... Super Mario Bros. [1993]

Rachael's favorite is... Jupiter Ascending [2015]
Jupiter Jones was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine, a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along.
Lisa's favorite is... Gentlemen Broncos [2009]
The story of Benjamin Purvis, a lovable loner whose life is turned upside down when a pretentious fantasy author steals his story at a writers' camp.
