    The Intellectual Property Lottery

    Welcome to the first-ever Intellectual Property Lottery! We took 20 of your suggestions for IP that have yet to be turned into a feature film and with the roll of a 20-sided die, randomly selected one for each host to pitch how they would adapt it.
    Comedian, musician, director, playwright, and all-around talented dude Robyn Slack joins us for another episode of slinging elevator pitches. His band, Success 5000, has a brand new album called Sad Forever, so please check that out, cause it's great! But also sad. But great! But sad. Forever.

    Everybody Wants Some!!

    Everybody Wants Some!!

    Baseball diehard Scott Belford of The Walk Off podcast joins us to rewrite our very first sports movie! Well…sports adjacent movie, anyway. The only problem is Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!! is a pretty good movie, you guys.
    We give it the old college try, though (Get it?!). Scott and Scott find an opportunity to add a secondary protagonist, Liam seeks to pass the Bechdel test, and Gregg questions whether adding any kind of central conflict would just undermine the whole point of the movie.

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

    We've teased it all season and at last, it's here, the great rewrittening of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania! Of course, we wouldn't have hyped it up so much if we didn't have some awesome guests lined up. Josh and Alex of Talking SMAC join us to reimagine the movie that officially landed Marvel in "jumped the shark" territory.

    We have an absolutely MASSIVE year-end wrap-up show for you, but I promise we didn't plan it that way. The intention was for the first section of the episode to be a rapid-fire list of movies we loved and wanted to mention, but we just couldn't help but discuss each of them at length.

    Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire

    Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire

    Zack Snyder may be this podcast's most prolific source of content. Whenever a Snyder joint drops we know it will be ripe for pitching rewrites.
    While Rebel Moon kicks off with surprising promise, the saga quickly develops into empty action and even emptier characters. Scott and Gregg try their best to restructure the plot and add more intrigue to the large cast of characters, while Liam takes a big swing at making this a much more challenging artistic affair.

Great Podcast

Great hosts with quality content! From GDT Podcast

Serene Sparrow ,

Fantastic movie discussion

This is the podcast CinemaSins wishes they could be. Critiquing movies without being an @$$joke about it. Bravo gents.

“The Tank" ,

Surprisingly Great and Insightful

This could very much be an insufferable podcast. But the hosts are incredibly intelligent about film and identifying why something might not work. And also looking for the diamonds that might work in a disaster.

Keep up the great work. And more Star Trek episodes now!
