Every week, Nate, Ben, ad Eric, with the occasional special guest, talk movies and entertainment news, and then play a series of movie-related games, including the central game, The Pitch, wherein our heroes take a concept and try and turn it into a working movie. Most of the time the podcasts will just descend into girlish laughter.

Other reoccurring games include Defend Yourself, where one person must defend their enjoyment of an indefensible movie, Sequel-ize It, Porno-ize It, Recast It, Genre Swap, Adapt the Unadaptable, and Vanity Project, wherein our heroes tailor a movie project to a star.

    DSOP Throwback: Switch the Pitch -- "Susan's Plan" (1998) / "Guardiang Tess" (1994)

    The infamous "Susan's Plan" episode and all that it wrought. 
    "The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back with another edition of combining different movies into a brand-new pitch. This week it's the dreadful, truly dreadful "comedy" in 1998 written/directed by John Landis and mercifully forgotten combined with the Nicolas Cage/Shirley Maclaine 1994 comedy "Guarding Tess."
    Available on Spotify and Apple
    Episode 319 includes:
    -R.I.P. Ed Asner and Michael K. Williams
    -New "Matrix" trailer... kind of.
    -Ben says "Demonic" is confirmation Neil Blomkamp is a name that should no longer excite moviegoers.
    -"Shang-Chi" is good Marvel fun by ways of punches and kicks.
    -Switch the Pitch -- "Susan's Plan" / "Guarding Tess"
    -The guys combine a very very bad movie by John Landis about a hit gone wrong (one of the worst films watched for the podcast, says Nate) with a forgettable and quaint Nicolas Cage comedy where he serves as a Secret Service agent to a former First Lady. FLOTUS as femme fatale?"

    The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are continuing to examine the failed pilots of yore with the intention of laucnhign into further discussion and analysis of the sci-fi TV project, "The Void" (appearing soon in a seperate podcast).

    -"Furiosa" is here and witness Ben as he declares it better than "Fury Road."
    -TV Pilot Graveyard VII (Microcops, the Danger Team)
    -Two failed pilots intended for children are both lackluster in different ways, with "microcops" featuring tiny aliens helping a NERD save the day and get the girl but also proving they can change their size, thus ending the obstacle of them being so tiny, and "The Danger Team" about a trio of claymation animated safety figures that rescue their creator from an unexpected mistaken identity mob subplot.
