The Bodegamen submits theirs to prevent the Boxmore robots from winning due to the trophy containing a highly explosive element, Plutonium.
At night, Mr. Gar hosts the Plaza Film Festival and plays the short film entries. The first film entry is "Broccolihood" by Colewort. His film is about him training to become a cook, but has a fear of lobsters. The audience laughs. Potato compliments his film, but Enid finds underdog stories predictable. A brick of her criticism drops onto Colewort.
The second entry is "Grenade Boy", by Nick Army and Joff. Their film is about Nick Army being wanted for being dangerous as he has grenade hands. Joff does not find him a monster and hugs him. The audience admires it. Rad finds the ending cliché, dropping a brick of his criticism onto Nick Army and Joff.
The third entry is "Untitled" by Crinkly Wrinkly (listed as unknown). His short film was random, leaving the audience puzzled. K.O. gives his criticism and the brick drops onto Crinkly Wrinkly.
The fourth entry is "My First Animation" by Potato. Her animated film is her character standing and smiling, then feeling sad, and lastly crying. The tears grows a plant. Enid finds it a ripoff, dropping a brick of her criticism onto Potato.
The fifth entry is a silent black and white film by Miss Mummy and Lion Cat. In their film, Miss Mummy plays tricks with Lion Cat. The audience finds it hilarious. Enid believes it is cute, but Rad thinks the voicework is terrible. A brick of his criticism falls onto Miss Mummy and Lion Cat.
The pentiultimate entry is the Bodegamen's. They are confident that they might win. Colewort thinks the revenge plot is cliché, making a brick of his criticism fall onto Enid. Miss Mummy thinks the flashbacks are contrived. When the Bodegamen's film ends, the audience complains and gives more critiques of their film, resulting the Bodegamen being piled by multiple bricks.
The last entry is Darrell's, Shannon's, and Raymond's. Their film has different scenes based on movie tropes that was programmed to give the audience different reactions after Enid notices. When their film ends, the audience applauds, producing clouds of praise making them the winners.
The Bodegamen acknowledges the critiques of their short film, making the pile of bricks of criticism disappear. Then, the Bodegamen pops the clouds of praise. Rad critiques their film that it lacks artistic integrity, making the brick fall onto the Boxbots and the clouds of praise. Mr. Gar runs to warn them about the explosive trophy. Enid saves the trophy by the cloud of her praise. Shannon critiques it and it reacts with the brick, causing an explosion.
