Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "The Movies That Made Us" Season 2.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented/guessed info (titles, names, dates, etc.).
If info is missing, omit it.
Format: JSON only, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.

[2] IMDb: Cast (Danny Wallace, Donald Ian Black, Jennifer Julian, Ryan Turek). "Unwrap the real stories behind these iconic blockbusters, thanks to insider interviews and behind-the-scenes peeks."

[4] Wikipedia: Created by Brian Volk-Weiss. Spin-off of The Toys That Made Us. Debut season (Season 1) has four episodes and is dedicated to films from the 1980s and 1990s.
[5] Action Movie Freak: Irrelevant.
Overview: The prompt asks for Season 2.
Looking at the sources:
Source [4] mentions the "four episode debut season" (Season 1) is dedicated to films from the 1980s and 1990s.
The sources do not provide specific details about Season 2 (what movies it covers, how many episodes, etc.).
The TMDB synopsis provided is a general series synopsis: "Get the story behind more generation-defining blockbusters as industry insiders lead the way with funny and entertaining deep dives."
Problem: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of Season 2 specifically because the sources only describe the series in general or Season 1 specifically. Writing about Season 2 using only these sources would result in a general series overview, which might not meet the word count requirement or the specific "Season 2" instruction if I can't find Season 2 info.
