For the release of Challengers, we're getting down with all things Guadagnino. First, a tasty conversation on the fit god, vibe sommelier, and occasional director - spanning Luca's often quiet 25 year career in film (7:45). Then we talk about the #1 movie at the box office, Challengers, and what the project means for Luca, Zendaya, and of course game show host Wayne Brady (41:42). Then, we dive into what can only be described as our most experimental pitch session yet for Luca in the odd and forgotten year of 2021 (1:08:28). Get your Golas laced up and your racket taped, cause this pod's going 6 sets AND A MF TIE BREAK.

For the release of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - a movie we've definitely seen, we're taking a 10 G nosedive into the gloriously profitable and adrenialine filled career of producer, denim enthusiast, and certified hitmaker...Jerry Bruckheimer. First, we break down Jerry's career into three eras - covering his 80s hits such as Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun, his 90s adult action heater that included masterpieces such as Crimson Tide, Con Air, and The Rock, and finally his 2000s family-friendly pivot scored by home video classics like National Treasure and Remember the Titans AS WELL AS his network television dominance with CSI and The Amazing Race.

Ready to fight yet? Well hold on just a moment. Because first, we'll need to let you know how significant 1999 was for Jerry as well as film in general (41:27). Then we finally pitch two potential '99 movies to Jerry the only way we know how to...ON FIRE (52:47).

For the release of Civil War, we're getting in the elevator with actress, cheerleader, boardgame player, Austro-French aristocrat, and now wartime photographer Kirsten Dunst.

But first, the fellas break down Civil War (2:57), what it means for A24 as well as the movie industry as a whole (22:22), and dig deep into Dunst's fascinating 30 year career in movies (31:35). We finally swing back to 2013 where Kirsten hears just what she could've gotten up to in the form of two incredibly thought out and researched pitches (42:44). It's a discussion as tasteful as kiki's San Fernando Valley home. Just kidding. NOTHING'S THAT GODDAMN TASTEFUL.

Actor, tap dancer, law student, zombie hunter, human science experiment, and our current best leading actress Emma Stone gets in the elevator and it's all about the year 2019. We speak about one of the most unrelatable relatable people ever. What makes her such a presence on screen and the roles that have defined her heater of a career thus far (1:28). Then we discuss the year of film in 2019 and what it's meant 5 years later (32:30) before FINALLY telling Emma what projects she could've done right before Tom Hanks put us all on Zoom. (44:27) If I was to grade our performance, I'd give us an EASY FUGGIN A. So give it a listen, would ya?

For the release of Roadhouse, we're diving deep into the career of actor, rocketeer, and now retired mixed martial artist/murderer Jake Gyllenhaal. We're pitching Jake projects he should've done in the year 2008.

But first, we speak about the bizarre new Doug Liman helmed Roadhouse (01:35). Then go full Robert Graysmith for a deep dive into Gyllenhaal's career: (20:54). Before finally giving our best elevator pitches for an inflection point in Jake's career, the year 2008: (1:00:27).
