Dirty Sons of Pitches Nate, Ben, and Eric

It's part two of the last episode and now the "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are getting deep into the weeds for "The Void," the sci-fi TV pilot that they developed and worked on the podcast in the fall of 2022. The series is described  as "star Trek with Lovecraftian monsters," and the guys go through the key characters, events, and mysteries of the pilot episode as they preview themes and sotrylines for the rest of season one and work through other creative points to finetune and explore in this first and important beginning episode.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" have gone back to an older project they shepherded earlier on the podcast, "the Void," a sci-fi TV series Ben began developing in the vein of "star Trek" meets Lovecraftian horror. It was the inspiration for the 2022 "Star Trek-ify" episodes, and now the guys are trying to work through what Ben has roposed as the multiple seasons of this project. But first, the guys will discuss new movies as well as a trio of sci-fi pilots all linked to "star Trek" imitators, the 1967 BBC "Solornauts," "Boldly Going Nowhere" from the "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creators, and as a bonus, the dramatic conent of a 1999 "Star Trek" porn parody (link is SFW edit) that, shockingly, is actually pretty faithful and reverent and well-regarded by fans.

Episode 406 incudes:
-Quentin Tarantino cancels his next last movie. Maybe. 

-Trailer reactions to "Trap" and "Mufasa." 

-"Rebel Moon Part 2" is finally here and it was not worth the wait or the first movie. 
-Ben sings the praises of "Boy Kills World" for its inventive action and attitude. 
-TV Pilots-- "The Solornauts" / "Boldly Going Nowhere"
-The 1967 "Solornauts" is a goofy proof of concept that has so little to offer besides as a time capsule. The "Boldly Going Nowhere" has some funny moments but also feels under-developed as far as being a "Star Trek" parody or homage. "The Orville" it is not.
-Bonus discussion over the "fan film" of "star Trek" which is really a safely edited 24-minute version of the 1999 adult film paordy, and yet it's by far the best written and most successful homage of them all. 

Between new episodes, we're opening up some of our favorite back catalogue episodes to give you a chance to relisten to what we consider some of the most entertaining episodes across the decade-plus of podcasting.
"The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are walking the walk and sitting down to watch and discuss the notorious 3.5 hour Western that destroyed recently deceased director Michael Chimino's (The Deer Hunter) career, ended United Artists, and shut the door on the autuer director era of the 1970s. Ben and Nate talk about several merits to be found with the movie amidst its excess and bloat. They'll save you two hours and you'll be better for it.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are looking at the four films from Alex Garland, notable genre screenwriter who began his directing career with 2015's Oscar-winning "Ex Machine," and followed it up with disorienting and challenging movies like "Anihilation" and "Men," both of which didn't quite work for the gents. They also use the occasion as an excuse to talk about Garland's latest directing effort, A24's "Civil War," supposedly following journalists treading through the terror of the United States at war with itself.
