twin films

Twin films are films with the same or similar plots produced and released within a close proximity of time by two different film studios. The phenomenon can result from two or more production companies investing in similar scripts at the same time, resulting in a race to distribute the films to audiences. Some attribute twin films to industrial espionage, the movement of staff between studios, or that the same screenplays are sent to several film studios before being accepted. Another possible explanation is if the films deal with topical issues, such as volcanic eruptions, reality television, terrorist attacks, or significant anniversaries, resulting in multiple discovery of the concept.
Screenwriter Terry Rossio notes that there are always film projects with similar subjects being developed in multiple studios, and that usually only one of them makes it into production in a given period of time, and therefore twin films are better regarded as exceptions to this tendency.

Your throwed off boyfriend just isn't cuttin' it for you. You love the guy, but you just can't handle it anymore. You tell your best friend to stay on the phone while you break up with him. Most people have a mute button on their phone that they can press to eliminate all sound that escapes from your mouth.

Zack D. Films

A guy on YouTube with a mysterious team of animators obsessed with poop, bullets, weapons, blood, dogs, burials, and more. It's often said that those who go to his videos frequent them on a daily basis, to the dismay of the bots who are so toxic and insecure that they will claim that their videos are better. These bots will also try to missedly convince someone that they are a troll or spammer, just for attention.

Common tropes of comments made on his YouTube videos include "Respect to the guy who respected the guy who respected the guy" and "These animators need a raise!"
