Static & Smoke
When a perpetually unlucky paranormal investigator whose ghost-hunting equipment only picks up radio interference teams up with a flamboyant, washed-up magician convinced he can *become* invisible, they accidentally stumble upon a real mob conspiracy while trying to scam a retirement home, leading to a chaotic, cross-country chase filled with mistaken identities, malfunctioning gadgets, and increasingly desperate attempts to convince everyone they’re competent professionals.

A movie poster for "Static & Smoke". Two figures, one disheveled man (the investigator) clutching sparking, glitching ghost-hunting equipment, the other a slightly faded, overly-dressed magician with a half-finished disappearing act (think shimmering outline, maybe a rogue playing card floating). They're posed back-to-back, looking bewildered and slightly panicked. Background is a chaotic collage of retro motel signs, static TV screens, blurry highway footage, and possibly a shadowy silhouette hinting at mob figures. Overall vibe: comedic, slightly retro, a little bit desperate. Title "Static & Smoke" prominently displayed, tagline: "Their luck ran out. The signal came through." **Prompt:** movie poster, "Static & Smoke", comedic, retro style, a disheveled man holding sparking, glitching paranormal investigation equipment, back to back with a flamboyant, slightly faded magician partially disappearing with a shimmering outline and a rogue playing card, chaotic background of retro motel signs, static tv screens, blurry highway footage, shadowy mob figures, bewildered expressions, desperate, tagline: "Their luck ran out.
