The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr

Jamali Maddix is Jimmy Carr’s guest this week. And Jamli’s subgenre is… Fight The System!

Our lone hero must take on the biggest, most oppressive and far-reaching organization yet: Big Hummus. Get ready for a surprisingly relevant, so-crazy-it-might-be-true pitch where it's team Hummus vs Team Steak in a fight to the death. Starring multiple actors who have been dead for years. Something for everyone!

Where does Nick Mohammed’s mind go when asked to make an ‘Everybody’s Home For The Holidays’ film? What’s the narrative arc for Romesh Ranganathan’s ‘BRB Crying’ tearjerker? What on earth would Michelle Wolf’s ‘Coming of Age animal tale’ look like? Find out on The Big Pitch. Listen on all podcast platforms and watch on the Netflix is a Joke YouTube Channel.

Ahir Shah is Jimmy’s guest this week. And Ahir’s subgenre is… Class Is In Session!

So we’re talking classic high school movies, why we accept watching adults playing teenagers, and the weird things we thought were normal thirty years ago. Ahir manages to pull out a hell of a concept for a film. But we have to wait 20 years to release it - will it be worth the wait? Enjoy!

This week, London Hughes joins Jimmy Carr, and her subgenre is… Teen Supernatural Drama.

Maybe our most combative episode yet? London comes into Jimmy’s office to pitch a strictly caucasian film. Along the way, they argue about ghosts, doppelgangers, Jimmy being a ‘spicy white’ and why black people never go camping. And Florence Pugh. It’s a very funny episode. Enjoy! 

Each week a celebrity guest pitches an idea for a film based on one of the SUPER niche sub-genres on Netflix. From ‘Steamy Crime Movies from the 1970s’ to ‘Australian Dysfunctional Family Comedies Starring A Strong Female Lead’, our celebrity guests will pitch their wacky plot, their dream cast, the marketing stunts, and everything in between. By the end of every episode, Jimmy Carr, Comedian by night / “Netflix Executive” by day, will decide whether the pitch is greenlit or condemned to development hell!

Hello and welcome to The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr! Our guest this week is Asim Chaudhry,  and Asim’s subgenre is… Opposites Attract.

Asim channels his alter ego Chabuddy G to pitch one of the most insane film ideas yet. Bollywood action scenes, micro penises and far right racism - what’s not to love?

Our guest this week is Michelle Wolf! And Michelle’s subgenre is… Coming Of Age Animal Tales.

A self confessed bad pitcher, this week Michelle brings an idea that goes against both God and nature. Along the way, she showcases her knowledge of all things Chinese, discusses the difficulty of coming out if you’re a baby rhino, and threatens to flip the coffee table over. It’s a good one.

Jimmy's guest this week is Chris McCausland! And the subgenre he's working with is … One Person Army.

One of our most chaotic episodes yet, Chris pitches an idea that is absolutely nothing like John Wick (nothing at all like it so stop even thinking that). He casts himself as the main character, there’s a magic dog talking beyond the grave, he repeatedly pitches a tagline that Jimmy hates and yet somehow, there might be not one but two great film ideas in there.

Our guest is Kerry Godliman! And Kerry’s subgenre is… Rich People Behaving Badly.

We’re talking doomsday bunkers, we’re talking maritime law, we’re talking Elon Musk. Find out if Jimmy is on board with Kerry’s chaotic film idea featuring one of the weirdest casts we’ve heard yet.

We're excited to be visited by Nick Mohammed! And Nick’s subgenre is… Everybody’s Home for the Holidays. Join Nick as he pitches one of the most unnecessarily violent Christmas films you’re ever likely to hear.

Our guest this week is Romesh Rangathan! And his subgenre is… BRB Crying.

Will Romesh deliver a beautiful and moving film pitch that makes Jimmy break down crying? Or will his idea be a fever dream of orangutans, ancient curses and having sex in front of animals? Listen in to find out!
