Evolver (1995) is a classic tale of boy plays VR game, boy meets girl who hates him, boy cheats to win VR tournament, boy wins robot, robot tries to kill boy, his mom, his kid sister, and the girl. It’s fun for the whole family, but is it Jox for the whole family?

Deadly Friend (1986) is the story of a Doogie-Howser-esque robotics and AI genius who through a series of wildly inadvisable blunders sets a murderous-robot-brain-powered undead Kristy Swanson loose on an unsuspecting series of neighborhood jerks. All in the name of love, we think. We know Wes Craven can deliver on horror, but can he deliver on Jox?

Spiders (2000) has Lana Parrilla as a conspiracy theory obsessed reporter who investigates a space shuttle crash that may contain government-mutated spiders. Spoiler: it does! Of course, low-budget hijinks ensue. Sure, it feels like a Sci Fi Channel X-Files knockoff, but can a third act that goes PLACES push this into the upper tier of Jox-worthy movies?
