Pull on your shades and lift those damned eyebrows, it's time for the first ever Mind Cinema Star Vehicle Spectacular! This week Graham and Luke have a smorgasbord of pitches all written for an absolute titan of acting, the wide grinnin', wolf-turnin', cherry-pit-spittin' bona fide movie legend that is Jack Nicholson! We'll get to see this most special of guests turn his many talents to playing a drifter on the run from his past, a Vietnam vet/guardian angel, a punk poet with one last wild ride left in his tanks and lots more. So without further ado, sit back, and let's hear it for Jaaaaaaaaaaack!

In Episode 3 the Mind Cinema rings with the sound of a gavel hammering as Luke pitches a military thriller ripped right out of the 1990s. Giving us enough corruption, conspiracy, and courtroom showdowns to make Rob Reiner raise his eyebrows, and displaying a knowledge of law so loose it would make Lady Justice blush. For Graham's movie, he dials up the paranoia and transports us smack bang into the 1970s, where no-one can be trusted, and nothing is quite as it seems! Expect more twists than a Curly Wurly as he begs the question...who....or what is Raymond Tusk?

The Mind Cinema is truly in the pink this week with a couple of pitches that could have been hewn from the same rock....or should that be asteroid?! Graham goes medieval (emphasis on eval!) on our asses, tools up, lops the head off a wolf, plays the lute - and that's all within the first three minutes of his movie, things only get more weird and wonderful from there! Next up Luke takes the bloodied gore baton with an accidental spiritual sequel to Graham's pitch, set in space, where a crew of roughnecks embark on an easy-peasy haulage mission to a distant, powerful moon accompanied by a slimy company-man - what could go wrong?!

Welcome to the Psycho Kino, enter ye who dare!! On this most hallowed of eves, Graham 'Gorehound' Thomas and Luke 'Lycanthrope' Searle invite you to join them for a buffet of blood, a feast of fear, a smorgasbord of sinew in the Racehorse Movies Halloween Special! Cower before our two mongers of terror, and test the very mettle of your sanity as they pitch two tales pulled from the darkest corners of their imaginations. One, the story of a pub with a gruesome history going back generations, steeped in fearsome folklore. In the other, a young girl dabbles in the dark art of Ouija, unknowingly inviting a demonic presence to insinuate itself into her life, and to take dominion over her bloodline...Make yourselves comfy among the entrails, eyeballs and severed limbs (Lloyd assures us they are from the pound shop, please don't be too alarmed) as we bring you witches, wolves, vampires, spirit boards and headlights shining through torso-holes...Until we meet again, splendid listeners, keep out of the shadows, hang garlic in your eaves, and spare a thought for poor Baxter, who should have stayed well clear of the priest hole....Happy Halloween!!

Roll up, roll up! It's here! Episode 12 of Racehorse Movies! After 11 (and a bit) weeks of pitches that have taken us from deep beneath the earth to the farthest reaches of outer space, we have come the end of this season. But don't weep into your (free) popcorn and instead stuff your sorrows into a sack, because boy have Luke, Graham and Lloyd 'The Bud' Cotton got a show for you! Firstly, Luke and Graham hold hands and take a windy walk down into the mists of the past to spins yarns over their first trips to the cinema and then...then they get a-pitchin'. And Lawks A-Lawdy do they get to a-pitchin! Every single horse. That's 15 nags, 15 pitches in a riotous season finale. Please feel free to read the next bit in Cheech Marin's voice just like in 'From Dusk Till Dawn'....'We got a ghostly Stan Laurel, we got 'Nam Vets making a stand, we got one-man gangs, we got influencers getting under the skin of their followers, we got the Saftie Brothers running amok with a beloved lanky Peckham chancer...we even got doggone cops and cops gone dogs. If you find dumber movie pitches based on racehorses anywhere else on your favourite streaming platforms then leeeiiisten to eeeeiitt'

Concessions are free, Lloyd has spooled everything up so get settled in for a rip-roaring end to the first season of Racehorse Movies.

But wait, what's this? Something moreish this way comes? It’s only Luke’s soundtrack to last week’s all-time pitch for Stiletto: A Billy Joel Fable. That’s right – Luke projected Stiletto into the Mind Cinema, now let Billy Joel perform it for you over on our Spotify

It’s time for Episode 11 and this week our boys have cooked up a couple of delectable treats for you in the Mind Cinema! Graham takes us deep into a sun scorched Australia with a gritty tale of a family torn apart, a whole heap of death-by-cow and a race through the unforgiving outback where cattle are worth more than gold. Luke goes slightly mad and delivers a musical/thriller/comedy/biopic of one of The Bronx's finest exports, taking a few teeny liberties with history for a tale of espionage, Berlin, and unexpected love transcending the Iron Curtain. Get yer bums on seats for the penultimate episode of Season 1, as Graham drops enough Aussie slang to make an in-his-prime Paul Hogan blush, and Luke drops a surprise colon!

As promised, here is Luke's End Of The Road playlist for your listening pleasure!

Episode 10 lands with a bang, as Luke lets more blood than the lifts in the Overlook Hotel. He pitches a gritty slice of action, set deep in Appalachia where not all angels have wings - some have hunting rifles. Graham is an agent of sweet chaos, and has a bag of surprises for Luke and the listeners as he brings us animation, war-monsters and a trip back to the 80s with his pitch (pitches?!)...ambassador, you are spoiling us! Settle down in the Mind Cinema, as we enjoy dismemberment, sharing a 'J T Walsh moment', and Graham's rather disarming 'sexy lynx' impression...
