Mixing magicians into a hesit film for something undeniably cool, if a bit overly-complicated, Now You See Me gave us Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher as four young magicians brought together by a mysterious secret organization to use their skills and sleight of hand to deal a bit of justice to the wealthy who have skirted their responsibilities. The clusterfuck of a sequel even further over-complicated the story, removed key figures from the plot, and retconned the motivations of a key antagonist leading to a dismal follow up that somehow didn’t kill this franchise.

Silk Stalkings – Powder Burn

  • Title: Silk Stalkings – Powder Burn
  • IMDb: link

“Powder Burn” brings back Christopher Mayer as Rita’s (Mitzi Kapture) short-term fling earlier in the season in “Hardcopy.” Back in town, Tyler wants to pick up where the pair left off, but it takes him the entire episode, including asking Chris (Rob Estes) for advice, to win himself a second shot. Given the time devoted to the subplot it seems likely there were plans to use Mayer as a recurring character in fleshing out a long term romance for Rita, but, for whatever reason, this is his final appearance on the show.
