It’s just us in the boardroom today, answering your listener questions and doing some pitching of our own.

Things are heating up as Grace and Tal pitch original movies for the Fireplace Channel. Grace wastes our money in flagrant fashion. Tal creates a whole new kind of eroticism. And in the end, Leete is forced to declare a winner, based on his own, unknowable criteria.

Craig and Hayden make themselves at home in our new boardroom and really make Toronto a character in their movie pitches. Craig exploits a lot of Canadian stereotypes. Hayden alienates a bunch of potential sponsors. But in the end, plagiarism can ruin any Hollywood career!
