Plot[]
SpongeBob and Patrick are at a Mermaidman and Barnacleboy fan club meeting, where they learn a new movie will be made based on the heroes... played by younger actors. SpongeBob tells the club members that they must boycott the movie, but he and Patrick just get thrown out of the building. Instead, the boys go to Shady Shoals and tell Mermaidman and Barnacleboy that Drippy Brothers Studios is making a movie about them with new actors. The heroes find the news horrible. Patrick suggests they make their own movie. Everybody likes the idea. After coming up with ideas, SpongeBob and the crew (Sandy, Pearl, Mr. Krabs, Patrick, Squidward, Mermaidman, and Barnacleboy) meet to make the movie. SpongeBob is in charge of the movie. Squidward, the makeup artist, prepares the actors for the movie. Sandy is in charge of using the dynamite for explosion scenes. Mr. Krabs will cater to the crew while Pearl is the leading lady. Patrick's the cameraman and Mermaidman and Barnacleboy are the stars. Plankton auditions for Man Ray, but can't have the part because the villain's not in the movie, so he works the boom instead. Mermaidman has trouble with one of his lines and it takes 5,003 takes to get it right until Plankton accidentally shoves the boom into his mouth. A scene is filmed where Mermaidman and Barnacleboy ride their boat mobile (Pearl as The Invisible Boat Mobile) to Kelp-Thing's hideout. Pearl is too heavy to pull, so Nat, who is pulling her speed off the mountain, crashing into the sets. Mr. Krabs would cater to the crew and Pearl was the leading lady. Patrick filmed it with the lens cap on, with everything destroyed; there is no footage of the movie. SpongeBob, who goes berserk, knows the movie is ruined. Mermaidman convinces him to finish the movie and goes on. Mr. Krabs has a premiere night for SpongeBob's production in his restaurant, hoping to make a bundle from the movie. The leader of the Mermaidman and Barnacleboy Fan Club does pay a lot of money to buy 200 tickets on opening night, but only because the Drippy Bros. production is sold out, and the entire fan club (except SpongeBob, Patrick, Mermaidman, and Barnacleboy) does not like it because it looks like an old-timey movie, skips some recorded dialogue, is about two minutes in length, and shows Sandy doing the stunts. However, Mermaidman is glad that SpongeBob proved he and Barnacleboy had "action" left in their old bones.

- In Shady Shoals, the bingo announcer says "A 29" despite the fact there is no "A" in "Bingo".
