Good lord…we’re finally back and joined by writer/podcaster HARRY KRINSKY of the NOTHING BUT RESPECT pod to discuss none other than writer, director, night vision tunneler, and spice lobbyist DENIS VILLENUEVE. We chat about the many faces of Denis - the dark and violent Canadian indie darling, the Obama Era action god, and the current sci-fi king. Then…you just know we gotta PITCH (27:07). Three movies. A sprinkle of League talk. And a Timothée Chalamet bombshell right at the end. Make sure you’re sitting down for this ep. And definitely not operating any heavy machinery. Unless it’s your car. Please do listen to this in your car.

It's time to do what we've been waiting all year to...give a thoughtful and nuanced review of The Rock's new movie, Red One. This doesn't take long. So we spend the rest of our time talking all things Christmas movies. Our favorites, the different types, and the future of the genre. Finally, we PITCH some of our own. This is an episode not to miss. Truly a pod of good tidings and great joy.

Who? You read that right . We're in the elevator with one of the greatest living directors, HOT off his latest gem...Kraven The Hunter. Ladies and gentlemen, its JC Chandor. First, we weave some Kraven talk into a larger discussion about far more notable Chandorian titles such as Margin Call, Triple Frontier, and All Is Lost. Then Matt talks way to much about Triple Frontier. And finally, before Tanner shuts the whole damn thing down, the fellas pitch to Chandor smack in the middle of Kraven post-production. The year 2023 (25:33).

We're shaking things up in the elevator today. Joining us is the writer/director of the new film, The Great Lake Bums, Jack Freiberger, along with the film's star...OUR OWN WILL PETERS. First, we talk about their experience making a micro-budget feature and run through some of our favorites in the sorta-genre. Then we all pitch micros to the only man in town crazy enough to say yes. Mr. Micro himself (37:57). Trust me. You don't want to miss this.

Prerecorded from Santa Monica, it's a podcast about a movie that came out three months ago! We're back in the elevator with Kate Klausner, writer of Kate's Comedy Almanac, for an episode on all things Saturday Night Live. First we talk about Jason Reitman's new(ish) movie, Saturday Night. What we liked. WHAT WE DIDN'T. Then we shift gears to SNL sketches turned movies and pitch very real SNL sketches that we'd like to see on the silver screen is any year ever (33:41).

What we do on this podcast...will echo in eternity. Unlike what happened in Gladiator II. A movie that was fine?? To discuss, we welcome friend of the pod and host of the upcoming pod, First Features, Ben Oliphint. But that's not all. We're also joined by girly pop muse, Gaelic football player, single father on vacation, and now a Roman artist of PAIN Paul Mescal in the audio dungeon for a good ol' future pitch sesh in the year 2026 (30:30). Matt's got his Mescal shorts on and his legs are freezing. So please give this a goddamn listen, would you?

We welcome Rusty Featherstone from Will and Rusty's Playdate into the elevator and he brought a friend. None other than the greatest blacksmith, elf, crusader, Trojan War homewrecker, and Nissan marketing executive - Orlando Bloom. We talk all things Bloom and just a lil' bit of Blackhawk Down before pitching three movies in the year 2007 (34:30). This episode played like a classic Orlando flick. A goddamn epic.

Our most timely podcast yet.

In honor of last month's release Megalopolis, friend of the pod Logan Wells and the gents welcome sommelier, nepo pappa, avid Instagram user, and Academy Award winning filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola into the elevator. We talk Mega and what makes Coppola simultaneously one of the greatest but craziest to ever do it. Then we pitch to Coppola in 1993 right off the heels of his last large scale commercial success, Bram Stokers Dracula (34:10).

Today on Elevator Pitch there will be absolutely no elevator pitches! Instead, we welcome Jack Tucker into the zoom room for a celebration of shame. Each year, Jack organizes a list of movies he's ashamed to have never seen and then watches all of them. The movement has spread wildly across Letterboxd, so last month we decided to join him. Now here us speak our shame for nearly two hours. I promise you it's worth it.

We're joined by Marc Brockwell (writer/director) for a grand ol' elevator pitch session with greenskeeper, ghostbuster, pop psychologist, and world famous actor/writer/comedian (in Japan at least) Bill Murray. First, a discussion on Bill’s early career and the type of characters he embodied. Then, a brief side discussion on Dominic Sessa’s Hotels.com commercials. But of course, then we pitch to Bill at a fulcrum point of his career, coming off his 80s slapstick run, during his five year hiatus, and just before his 90s arthouse turn - in the year 1985 (50:02).
