Chatting Pitch

Two people who love movies, pitching movie ideas to each other. Some are good. Some are... real bad. It's up to you which ones are which! A podcast made with only Joel Silver and Jerry Bruckheimer in mind.

    S4 E1 - Gladiator 2: This Time It’s Gladiator Again

    Leslie and Matthew are back for the fourth season of Chatting Pitch, the podcast that reviews movies and TV shows before throwing up its own ideas that’re much worse in comparison. Looking back over the multiple seasons of Chatting Pitch, our two loveable presenters noticed a pattern beginning to emerge. Shortly after season 1, there was a global pandemic. Not long after season 2 ended, various armed conflicts stepped up a notch. And so Leslie and Matthew both came to the end of season three feeling rather trepidatious. But fortunately, nothing bad happened, specifically at the beginning of November! They broke the spell! In the opening for season 4, Chatting Pitch tries something a little different with a cold open, before falling back into familiar routines. And so fittingly, in this episode they discuss what they thought of Gladiator 2. And following the review, Leslie and Matthew attempt to pitch something based on a minor character who, frankly, they thought didn’t get fleshed out enough. It’s the monkey, they talk about the monkey. Of course it’s the monkey, have you not heard these guys before!?

  2. S3 E14 - Longlegs Review and Pitch

    S3 E14 - Longlegs Review and Pitch

    As we reach the end of season three of Chatting Pitch, it’s tempting to look back at some of the memories that were made over the course of these fourteen episodes. Talking about Alien for three weeks. Inventing our own patented rating system. The time we had Ridley Scott and James Cameron on to talk about their favourite soup. Some of the memories have been made up, but regardless they were highly enjoyable. As we close out, we finally hit the review Matthew’s wanted to do for months: It’s Longlegs. Has Matthew forgotten everything about the film? Did Leslie enjoy watching it at home on his favourite format (DVD)? And more importantly, what is the plot to their new movie idea? And this is what they present to you. No Legs: The Dealmaker: Code of Satan: A Satanist Cult Story: A Longlegs Saga. I think that’s what they called it; I was too busy trying to find some deals online.

    S3 E13 - Joker: Trolley of Soup

    Joker: Trolley of Soup This week, Leslie and Matthew discuss the movie that everybody just loves. That’s right, it’s Joker: Folie à Deux time! Do they think this Joker movie kills, or does it die on its feet? Or is it… whisper it now… just fine? Amongst all this, Matthew shares an unconvincing and boring story about his close encounter with a Joker, and Leslie introduces a whole new universe that DC and Warner Bros can give to James Gunn. Spoiler alert: there ain’t just soup in that bucket, Superman!

    S3 E12 - Megalopolis: Welcome to the Megalon Universe

    This week, Leslie and Matthew take a look at the movie everyone’s talking about, but no one’s seeing: Mega-Lolly-Bus. Mega-Palooza. Das Mega-Bus. Mega… you get the idea! In a time of divisive and extreme opinions, where will Francis Ford Coppola’s latest land on the CHATTING PITCH scale? What worked for Leslie and Matthew, and what didn’t? And how will Leslie escape the kidnappers that have taken him to a mysterious beach with only one stinkin’ lighthouse? All these questions will be answered, rest assured, plus several others, or maybe not, we’ll see, if you listen to this latest episode of the podcast known as: Mega Chatting Pitch Bus.

    S3 E11 - Speak No Evil, Squeak No Evil

    Is it a title for a podcast based around positivity? Is it a sequel to the Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor movie from 1989? Or is it the new movie starring James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis, where one family invites another family to stay at their farmhouse but then everything goes wrong in ways you might expect and in other ways you don’t? It’s the option with the most detail, of course! Leslie and Matthew, for a limited time only, managed to both see the movie and record an episode together, in-person: Hooray for friendship! In their time together, they compare this 2024 version to the original, and what it must be like to have a rivalry with a clown. Come join them, won’t you?

    S3 E10 - Rebel Ridge & Uglies (& Trolls & SEGA)

    Continuing Chatting Pitch's run of positivity, Leslie and Matthew take a look at new Netflix movie Rebel Ridge. What do they think? Is it great, or really great? How does it rate on the patented CHATTING PITCH rating system, a system so inconsistent and yet should be the only one you rely on? They also talk about Uglies, a movie that is... well, it's not pretty. A real piece of C, if the rating system's to be believed.
