S2 E4 - Gregg's: The Tom Hardy Story aka The Pastry Patsy
This week, Leslie and Matthew slip on their Starbucks Sneakers, boil a pot of Sony Snackaroos and recline in their Air Jordan Arm Chairs to focus on brand movies. They talk about their favourite brand movies, movies that’re about the making of products because apparently that’s how art’s going at the moment, along with some stuff about the secret Nolan brother everyone knows about. They also try to pitch their own brand movies and in the midst of all this talk about Rob Schneider for some reason.

S2 E1 - Legacy Sequels: The Prequel
After an indeterminate number of years, Leslie and Matthew return to chat pitch in the show that’s all about chatting pitches.
In this episode, as it’s a legacy sequel in itself, they talk about some legacy sequels they like, some of the ones they don’t and then think about what movies need a return to the big or small screen. Who would play Doc and Marty in Back to the Future: Redux – Reckoning Part I? How would a movie series deal with the fact their original actors are big stars now? Listen to find out!

S1 E12 - Chatting Pitch Crosses Over... ft. Random Top Five
In this episode, Leslie and Matthew are joined by the host of Random Top Five, the hilarious Randy California.
Together, they talk about their favourite time travel movies and what would happen if, through slipstream paradoxes and science, characters from different time travel movies were to meet. What skills would Bill Murray pick up first if his character from Groundhog Day was stuck in the Old West? How confused will Jake Gyllenhaal get when his time loop resets every eight minutes? And who the heck’s gonna check the tickets on this dangblasted train!?

This Podcast Rocks!
Matt and Leslie have such great chemistry. It's hilariously contagious. I would love to see some of these pitches become a real movie. My pitch is 50 Shades of Gray mingles with 2001: A Space Odyssey.
