30 FAKE MOVIE PITCHES FROM 2 VERY REAL FILM FANATICS
Dave B and Casey gave themselves a ridiculous challenge:
30 movie pitches in 30 days.
Come hell or high water, they had to deliver an idea every day for a month.
Did they do it?
Listen as they pitch each other crazy movie ideas from their 30 day challenge.
Come for the wacky genre-bending high-concept stories, stay for the many Donald Pleasence references.
Episode One: Pitches Be Crazy
Donald Pleasence, genetically cloned Michael Crichtons, and some movie pitches.
We open on two film fans: Dave B and Casey.
Mortal enemies who must introduce the audience to this show and compete in a battle of wits.
Who will win the day?
What will the loser do?
And can Donald Pleasence still surprise us all?
Episode Two: Pitchthumping
Chumbawamba, a World War II buddy movie, and some movie pitches.
Imagine a world in which the band Chumbawamba never existed. Nuclear war has wiped out humanity.
Wise-cracking banana slugs are the dominant species. Sounds awful, right?
Luckily, Chumbawamba does exist. And they provide some inspiration for Dave B’s pitch.
Episode Three: Pitch Cross
Ancient Greeks, Deadpool Lies & Videotape, and some movie pitches.
Imagine two movies that don’t belong in the same universe.
Now jam them together.
For example, DIE HARD meets WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S.
Can you see it?
In this one, Dave B and Casey mash several unlikely movies together.
Episode Four: Pitch 2: The Pitchening!
Sequels, prequels, Peckinpahs, Brian Dennehys, and some movie pitches.
The long awaited sequel is here!
(Even though this is episode 4. But never mind that.)
Your favorite characters are back in an all-new zany adventure, with some lovable new guests joining them along the way.
Dave B and Casey make fake sequels to real movies you may not have heard of.
Episode Five: Meta Pitch
It’s a genre within a genre, and some movie pitches.
We open on a movie pitch that soon realizes it’s in a movie about movie pitches. That’s right… Dave B and Casey are going meta.
Episode Six: Biopitch
From the cradle to the grave, and some movie pitches.
Fade in on Dave B. and Casey arguing about why those who pronounce the word biopics as “BI-opics” are wrong. Then they pitch some movies about people.
Episode Seven: Pitch Heist
We’re putting together a team of safecrackers, getaway drivers, con artists, and some movie pitches.
Dave B and Casey turn to a life of crime… in the movies, of course. This episode is all about the crime genre.
Episode Eight: Future Pitch
A long time ago… in the future… which may or may not be a dystopia… there’s some movie pitches.
In space, no one can hear you pitch movies. So Dave B and Casey are using this episode as an opportunity to talk about all things sci-fi.
Episode Nine: Biopitch
Dave B and Casey are back with some new movie ideas. And they’re all horrific.
This episode is all about the genre we love to scream at. Dave B. and Casey talk about how horror films have shaped their lives. And they tackle the biggest question of them all: Fast zombies or slow zombies? They also pitch two films that fit into two different subgenres of horror, but are both somehow connected to BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019).
Episode Ten: The Final Pitch…Or Is it?
In the end, there’s only good ideas and bad ideas. Dave B. and Casey talk about the latter.
Starting this podcast was a great idea. Ending it would be a terrible one. So in that spirit, Dave B. and Casey are talking about bad ideas. And how a potentially bad concept can lead to a good one. Then they pitch the worst ideas from their 30-day movie pitch challenge.
And while this might be the end of their first season, they’ll be back.
