Elevator Pitch

The Rules Are Simple: 1. We pick one name in movies. 2. We pick one year of their career. 3. We pitch this special somebody what they should have done that year. Welcome to Elevator Pitch. We're glad you're here. New Episodes every Thursday (unless we're busy and don't want to do it)

  1. 4 DAYS AGO

    Robert Eggers (with Will Angus)

    Today on the pod we're possessed (joined) by writer/actor and co-host of the Almost Friday Podcast WILL ANGUS to discuss NOSFERATU as well as the man behind the madness - writer, director, lighthouse keeper, northman, and failed corn crop grower ROBERT EGGERS. First, we consider how this quite traditional gothic melodrama fits into the modern film landscape. Then, we gab about our fave flicks from the silent German expressionism era. And then we pitch Eggers three movies he should roll right into next. Sit tight for an Eggers ranking at the end.

    Denis Villeneuve - 2017 (with Harry Krinsky)

    Good lord…we’re finally back and joined by writer/podcaster HARRY KRINSKY of the NOTHING BUT RESPECT pod to discuss none other than writer, director, night vision tunneler, and spice lobbyist DENIS VILLENUEVE. We chat about the many faces of Denis - the dark and violent Canadian indie darling, the Obama Era action god, and the current sci-fi king. Then…you just know we gotta PITCH (27:07). Three movies. A sprinkle of League talk. And a Timothée Chalamet bombshell right at the end. Make sure you’re sitting down for this ep. And definitely not operating any heavy machinery. Unless it’s your car. Please do listen to this in your car.

    The Pitchmas Spectacular

    It's time to do what we've been waiting all year to...give a thoughtful and nuanced review of The Rock's new movie, Red One. This doesn't take long. So we spend the rest of our time talking all things Christmas movies. Our favorites, the different types, and the future of the genre. Finally, we PITCH some of our own. This is an episode not to miss. Truly a pod of good tidings and great joy.

    JC Chandor - 2023

    Who? You read that right . We're in the elevator with one of the greatest living directors, HOT off his latest gem...Kraven The Hunter. Ladies and gentlemen, its JC Chandor. First, we weave some Kraven talk into a larger discussion about far more notable Chandorian titles such as Margin Call, Triple Frontier, and All Is Lost. Then Matt talks way to much about Triple Frontier. And finally, before Tanner shuts the whole damn thing down, the fellas pitch to Chandor smack in the middle of Kraven post-production. The year 2023 (25:33). FOLLOW US: https://www.instagram.com/theelevatorpitchpod/ https://www.tiktok.com/@elevatorpitchpod

    Prerecorded from Santa Monica, it's a podcast about a movie that came out three months ago! We're back in the elevator with Kate Klausner, writer of Kate's Comedy Almanac, for an episode on all things Saturday Night Live. First we talk about Jason Reitman's new(ish) movie, Saturday Night.

    Paul Mescal - 2026 (with Ben Oliphint)

    What we do on this podcast...will echo in eternity. Unlike what happened in Gladiator II. A movie that was fine?? To discuss, we welcome friend of the pod and host of the upcoming pod, First Features, Ben Oliphint. But that's not all. We're also joined by girly pop muse, Gaelic football player, single father on vacation, and now a Roman artist of PAIN Paul Mescal in the audio dungeon for a good ol' future pitch sesh in the year 2026 (30:30). Matt's got his Mescal shorts on and his legs are freezing. So please give this a goddamn listen, would you?

    Orlando Bloom - 2007 (with Rusty Featherstone)

    We welcome Rusty Featherstone from Will and Rusty's Playdate into the elevator and he brought a friend. None other than the greatest blacksmith, elf, crusader, Trojan War homewrecker, and Nissan marketing executive - Orlando Bloom. We talk all things Bloom and just a lil' bit of Blackhawk Down before pitching three movies in the year 2007 (34:30). This episode played like a classic Orlando flick. A goddamn epic.
