During his appearance on the daytime talk show ''Casey Tulips'', award-winning actor Matt Damon announces the "Postcards from You" contest, asking kids to send in one-minute videos of themselves to compete in a contest for best film. The winner gets to have their movie featured on TV. Excited at this prospect, Arthur chooses to enter, as does all of his friends when they discuss the contest the next day. Muffy announces that she is holding casting auditions for her video and brags that she is guaranteed to win because her Dad sold Matt Damon's lawyer's assistant a car once, so she is completely assured of her victory. Brain plans to write a short documentary on something scientific. Buster announces of making a video about Arthur, considering him to an interesting subject since he couldn't find any real aliens to feature in his film. Arthur chooses to surprise everyone with what he intends to film, and at home starts filming a video of himself, D.W. and Pal, but doesn't go too well when D.W. shows up dressed as a fairy while being filmed feeding Pal. The shoot fails when a squirrel comes in stealing Pal's food, prompting him to chase the critter around the yard. Then then try to film D.W. performing a magic show with Nadine, which also flops as neither Arthur or Buster can see her. | During his appearance on the daytime talk show ''Casey Tulips'', award-winning actor Matt Damon announces the "Postcards from You" contest, asking kids to send in one-minute videos of themselves to compete in a contest for best film.
