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.

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.

The Big Pitch is a co-production by Netflix and BBC Studios Audio.

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.

The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr is a brand new comedy podcast where each week a different 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!

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!
