The Pitch-off Project

Josef and Leete are alone in the boardroom answering listener questions on our favourite Pitch-off Project projects, foreign countries and Meryl Streep. Followed by a lightning round of movie pitches titled: Dog Seeking Dog, Psy-Clone, Sing for the Fences, Niagara Rises, The Groundhog of Summer and El Amor Qui No Habla Ingles: A Star Wars Story.

We’re in the boardroom for another Marketing Mix with our Executive Marketing Guru. This week, we’re selling Margaret Thatchell’s movie Kill the Humans and Leave Them 4 the Animals. Our marketing strategy touches on sex tapes and secret islands.

Josef ponied up and bought a failing zoo where all the animals are dying. Now Margaret Thatchell and Nathen Costa must use this sad location in a movie. Margaret reveals her Cat Whisperer powers. Nathan brings home the quinoa. And in the end, a bet on crazy always pays off.

Josef and Leete are alone in the boardroom answering listener questions on dog costumes, The Moves and our starts in Hollywood. Followed by a lightning round of movie pitches titled: Whenwolf, Be Still My Fart, Blind Bombshell, A Fraction of the Faction, Pocketful of Primrose: The Temptationing and Wednesday is for Gloria.

We’re back with Executive Marketing Guru for another Marketing Mix, this time on Jordi O’Dael’s sci-fi thriller, Karmadillo. Our marketing strategy this time touches on genetically modified super-soldiers, the San Diego Zoo, and unboxing videos….. but not Antarctica!

Grace and Jordi roll up their sleeves to create a movie that makes use of a perfectly realistic armadillo costume. Grace spends an inordinate amount of time and energy looking at Josef in the eyes. Jordi shows off their secret expertise in Zoology. And in the end, we’re all just trying to make Lorraine proud.

In our special Canada Day bonus episode, Clover Whileaway and Hayden Finkelshtain see who’ll be first past the post with a movie that will launch the acting career of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Clover sparks a lively debate on the ethics of time travelling abortion. Hayden reveals his long-hidden “Buddy” crush. And in the end, the development deal goes to the person who’s lived a life that’s full.

Josef and Leete are alone in the boardroom answering listener questions on Leete’s internship, our fathers and training montages. Followed by a lightning round of movie pitches titled: The Scottish Play, Grime and Punishment, Ben It Like Benicio, Carpe Diem: Seize the DM, The Grower and the Shower and Aren’t We Alive?

We’re back in the boardroom with our Executive Marketing Guru, Jessica Fife doing a marketing mix on Brett Loughery’s movie Leatherbutt: You Can’t Avoid the Void. While Leete’s microphone fails, we touch on The Breakfast Club in a glass enclosure and mass murder with a potato.

In an effort to cash in on the popularity of Leatherface, Rod Brixton and Brett Loughery create movies with the regrettable title of Leatherbutt. Rod pitches a sports movie in which two rival high school teams unite right at the beginning. Brett tries to land a director whose name he can’t pronounce.

And in the end, will the magic of song conjure up a winner or a loser?
