Chris and Mackenzie bring out the Wheel of Crossovers once again! The rules are simple: two shows enter, one show leaves! We spin the wheel of crossovers to get two shows. Then, we spin the Wheel of Tropes. Then, we have seven minutes to come up with a viable pilot episode for a show or movie concept pulling it all together!
