The Pitch-off Project

We’re trying to recapture our former glory by reusing the theme from our very first episode: A movie featuring a neon green Hummer. Grant is on the fence about Hummer Mermaids. Rachel invents reverse crying. And in the end, we learn that if you want to win on The Pitch-off Project, you should never trust Leete.

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

Listener questions:

What movie do you just have to see in theatres?

What’s your favourite McGuffin?

I have a date next week and she said she wants to see the most romantic movie I’ve ever watched. What should we watch?

Do you listen to anything when you go to sleep?

What are some ways to give my protagonist humanity?

Do you like the fine arts that aren’t film?

Movie titles:

The Good One

The Last Temptation of Carl

Nine Hot Sandwiches

The Peculiar Genocide of Mrs. Peahen

Shitter, Get Off the Pot

Life on Easy Mode

Surprise! In a spirited bonus episode, we attempt to create the world’s greatest St. Paddy’s Day movie the world has ever seen. There’s no format, just intermittent dialect work. With Jessalyn Ferguson and Clare Blackwood. And in the end, is it possible that we made the most marketable film Ishtar Studios has ever developed?

We have the recipe for success when we ask Clare Blackwood and Andrew Gaunce to adapt Jonathan Swift’s satirical essay A Modest Proposal, but they both have other ideas. Clare changes her mind regarding Maggie Smith’s cannibalism. Andrew films 600 hours of Jack Black antics. And in the end, declaring a winner becomes an act of mercy.

We’re alone in the boardroom this week, answering your listener questions and doing some pitching of our own!

Jimmer Lowe and Jess Ferguson man up and pitch movies based on the popular pastime of mansplaining. Jimmer sidesteps the sexism issue altogether. Jess has more power than any PoP contestant ever! And in the end, we manage to do well and do good.

We’re alone in the boardroom this week, answering your listener questions and doing some pitching of our own.

We’ve got a date with Gabe Meacher and Grace Gordon to discuss their movies based on the real St. Valentine. Gabe starts off with a winning score. Grace kills off some couples. And in the end, Josef recuses himself from the scoring process.

We’re alone in the boardroom this week, answering your listener questions and doing some pitching of our own.

Hayden Finkelshtain and Jordi O’Dael prove that life is meaningless with their pitches about Existentialism. Hayden is bringing smoke bombs back. Jordi releases us from the obligation of our own happiness. And in the end, Leete gets to apply his own belief in numerology to the scores.
