Killer Cheerleader
As a new student in town, Alexis is eager to try out for her high school’s cheerleading team. While she certainly has the spirit and enthusiasm, Alexis unfortunately isn’t very good at cheering. Her first time performing causes her to humiliate the most popular girl in school, putting her on thin ice with those who are already against her, including head cheerleader Christy. With this situation brewing, it seems like Alexis is destined to become one of the school’s many casualties.

Late Night
Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is an acclaimed late-night talk show host with an extensive career in comedy, but her show's ratings have seen a steady decline over the past decade. The network's president, Caroline Morton (Hillary Swank), tells Katherine to fix up her show or she will be replaced.
