Although they have the best intentions, a movie executive and a screenwriter make terrible decisions while planning popular films.
#1 - Cocaine Bear
Season 2023 - Episode 6 - Aired 3/9/2023
With practically every big movie in theatres being a part of some massive cinematic universe or franchise, moviegoers have expressed a craving for new, original ideas to hit the big screen. Well their prayers have been answered, in the form of a big ol’ bear doing cocaine and attacking people. Cocaine Bear definitely raises some questions. Like how did this movie get greenlit? Why are there so many intricate human plotlines in a movie about a bear doing cocaine? Why did the bear spare those kids? HOW WAS THIS MOVIE GREENLIT! To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Cocaine Bear.
#2 - Wrath of the Titans
Season 2023 - Episode 25 - Aired 10/5/2023
Clash of the Titans in 2010, coming off the heels of Sam Worthington’s success in Avatar, made enough money to justify a sequel. Was anyone really asking for one? No. But we got one anyway in glorious 3D! Remember that craze? Wrath of the Titans definitely raises some questions. Like why didn’t Zeus revive Perseus’ wife again? Why are all these gods made of sand? What’s Andromeda tagging along for? Why are fire-breathing creatures hurt by fire? Does being inside an exploding Titan not hurt at all? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to John Wrath of the Titans!
#3 - Barbenheimer
Season 2023 - Episode 18 - Aired 7/27/2023
Once in a while, the internet goes absolutely nuts for something seemingly random. Recently, the concept of a Barbenheimer double feature emerge, and what seemed like just an internet meme translated into actual, real-world, box office dollars. Take that, Morbius! Barbenheimer definitely raises some questions. Like how did this insane pairing of films come to be? What do these movies have in common? Why is every single word in Oppenheimer underscored with epic music? Why did Barbie keep driving its message home long after it was clear what it was trying to say? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Barbenheimer!
#4 - Secret Invasion
Season 2023 - Episode 19 - Aired 8/10/2023
Disney and Marvel Studios have been absolutely churning out content in the past few years with a ton of shows hitting their streaming service Disney+. Secret Invasion has come out after a deluge of other superhero shows and people seem to be… tired of this? Secret Invasion definitely raises some questions. Like why didn’t the show play more with the mystery of who is a Skrull and who isn’t? Why doesn’t Nick Fury call the Avengers? If this fight is so personal, why doesn’t he actually fight it? How are all the powers in the final fight even being used? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Secret Invasion!
#5 - Meg 2: The Trench
Season 2023 - Episode 20 - Aired 8/17/2023
Jason Statham fighting giant prehistoric sharks. That’s maybe the easiest pitch that’s ever been made, and first Meg movie made over half a billion dollars thanks to that awesome sounding premise. And when something makes half a billion dollars, you can bet we’re going to see some more of it. Meg 2: The Trench definitely raises some questions. Like why is this shark movie mostly about humans running around doing sketchy stuff? How did Jason Statham free dive at 25,000 feet? Wait, these movies are based on books? Where did that Kraken come from and why isn’t anyone talking about it? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Meg 2: The Trench!
#6 - Blue Beetle
Season 2023 - Episode 21 - Aired 8/31/2023
In the midst of a major reshuffling within the DCU, a few movies are just kind of floating in in-betweenland. Movies like The Flash and Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods basically flopped, at least partially due to the fact that audiences aren’t really sure if they’re supposed to care or not. Blue Beetle is the latest movie in that trend, that’s maybe starting off the James Gunn DC reign? Maybe? But also just kind of doing it’s own thing? Blue Beetle definitely raises some questions. Like why does this movie look so familiar? Why is this the 10,000th evil business person that wants to use a supersuit to sell as weapons? Why does that guy on the Big Belly Burger box look so much like Screenwriter Guy? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Blue Beetle!
#7 - Maze Runner: The Death Cure
Season 2023 - Episode 22 - Aired 9/8/2023
The YA fad was massive for a few years in the 2010s, with movies like Twilight and The Hunger Games being massive cinematic events around the world. The Maze Runner was arguably one of the last in the genre before it kind of died out and people moved onto… Streaming shows and more superhero movies I guess? Maze Runner: The Death Cure definitely raises some questions. Like are we supposed to remember exactly what happened in that last movie several years ago? Did the good guys just doom the human race by getting their friend back? How are all these kids so good at shooting? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Maze Runner: The Death Cure!
#8 - 65
Season 2023 - Episode 23 - Aired 9/21/2023
Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs with sci-fi weapons sounds like a surefire concept that’s guaranteed to be entertaining. But somehow, when 65 hit theatres, critics weren’t impressed and audiences weren’t present. 65 definitely raises some questions. Like why did they insist on spelling out this concept so much and ridding it of any mystery? Why do these aliens look, sound, move and measure things exactly like us? Why are all these dinosaurs so angry at these humans? What are the odds of them landing on Earth like a day before the asteroid hits? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to 65!
#9 - John Wick: Chapter 4
Season 2023 - Episode 24 - Aired 9/29/2023
What started out as a refreshingly straight-and-to-the point tight 90-minute action movie starring Keanu Reeves shooting people has morphed into an expansive world of assassins with a whole bunch of lore and special coins. The latest installment in the franchise is John Wick Chapter 4, clocking in at a wild 3 hours of runtime. John Wick Chapter 4 definitely raises some questions. Like how does John keep surviving the impossible? Do the cops really not care about all this public bloodshed at highly recognizable locations? How does John manage to travel internationally as he does? Is he really gone, or are we going to bring him back somehow? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to John Wick Chapter 4!
#10 - Interstellar
Season 2023 - Episode 17 - Aired 7/20/2023
Christopher Nolan has made a name for himself making intellectual mind-bendy movies with films like Memento, Inception and Tenet. Let’s just say it, the dude is a little obsessed with time. He’s one of the few filmmakers making truly “epic” movies, and it’s really cool when you can understand them. Interstellar definitely raises some questions though. Like why doesn’t anyone seem to care about Tom? Why did they decide to go down to that time dilation planet first? Why did they try to collect that worthless data? Why was there a Matt Damon jumpscare on the second planet? Why did Tom name his kid Coop Cooper? Why did Cooper send the same “stay” message that he knew did not get him to stay? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Interstellar!
#11 - Ahsoka
Season 2023 - Episode 26 - Aired 10/19/2023
Disney continues to pump out content onto Disney Plus after massive investments into making Star Wars and Marvel streaming series a thing. They are now… a thing. Ahsoka starring Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano has now been released, and it exists! Ahsoka definitely raises some questions. Like are lightsabers even dangerous anymore? Does everyone just have a bunch of force powers? Is Thrawn really a tactical genius? What was the point of this being eight episodes? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Ahsoka!
#12 - Five Nights at Freddy's Pitch Meeting
Season 2023 - Episode 27 - Aired 11/2/2023
Five Nights At Freddy’s is an incredibly popular video game with a deep lore that people seem to be obsessed with. But does a jump-scary video game translate well to a two-hour-long feature film with minimal jumpscares and a whole lot of sleeping? Five Nights At Freddy’s definitely raises some questions. Like why are we spending so much time in a field of dreams? How is there only like one jumpscare in this thing? How does William Afton actually control these things, and how does knowing he’s evil change that for them? Does that cop not have any cop stuff to do? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Five Nights At Freddy’s!
#13 - The Marvels
Season 2023 - Episode 28 - Aired 11/16/2023
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is relentlessly pushing out content both in movie theatres and on Disney+. Their latest combines characters from Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Secret Invasion, Wandavision and more. The Marvels definitely raises some questions. Like how are they still making villains like this? Isn’t that the same plan as in Spaceballs? Why did Monica not try to fix the space-time hole from our side? Captain Marvel is so powerful she can reignite suns? What was up with that singing planet? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Marvels!
#14 - The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Season 2023 - Episode 29 - Aired 11/23/2023
Nearly a decade after the release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and the end of Katniss’s’s’ story, The Hunger Games are BACK, with an a kind-of-all-new tale about everyone’s least favorite tyrannical President, Corialanus Snow. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes definitely raises some questions. Like did they set out to make the longest title possible? How many times do they say Lucy Gray’s name and how many times does she sing? Are we rooting for the guy that runs the kids-killing-each-other competition? Why does this movie feel like two movies? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!
#15 - Loki Season 2
Season 2023 - Episode 30 - Aired 12/7/2023
In the midst of all the Marvel content that was released on Disney Plus during Phase 4, the first season of Loki was one of the series that arguably got the most favorable reactions from critics and fans alike. That’s why it’s now the first MCU show to get a second season. Loki Season 2 definitely raises some questions. Like is this the first ever case of a flirtatious clock. How does time work differently at the TVA? Do we get to see Owen Wilson on a jetski? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Loki Season 2!
#16 - Wish
Season 2023 - Episode 31 - Aired 12/21/2023
Despite celebrating 100 years of existence, Disney has had kind of a rough year, with several flops like The Marvels, Indiana Jones, and a lot of stuff on Disney+. Can Wish, the movie billed as a Disney celebration break the losing streak? No, no it cannot. Wish definitely raises some questions. Like is the King really that evil to not grant every wish? Why is he even taking all their wishes? What’s the purpose of that talking goat anyway? How much of this movie’s budget did they think they’d make back on Star merch? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Wish!
#17 - Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Season 2023 - Episode 32 - Aired 12/28/2023
Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom! It’s crazy to think that in a decade, we witnessed the rise and fall of the DC Extended Universe. With occasional hits like Wonder Woman and Aquaman, accompanied by LOTS of flops like Black Adam, Shazam 2, Blue Beetle, The Flash, Suicide Squad and more… this was kind of inevitable. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom definitely raises some questions. Like did we just Ctrl-Z Aquaman’s growth from the last movie? Why is Arthur making Goofy noises? Where’s the Justice League when you need them? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom!
#18 - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Season 2023 - Episode 16 - Aired 7/6/2023
What if an older Indiana Jones came back for one last big adventure? Wouldn’t that be crazy? Well wonder no more, because that movie came out 15 years ago and it was called Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But wait, what if an older Indiana Jones came back for one last big adventure AGAIN? Ahhh well if that sounds like a good time, you’re in luck! Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny definitely raises some questions. Like did they copy/paste this premise from The Force Awakens? Why do all older Harrison Ford characters now have terrible lives? How did Zoller survive without a scratch the exact thing that took out Dennis Hopper in Speed? How do these bad guys keep knowing where to pop out? How hard to Helena punch Indy to drag him from Ancient Greece all the way to New York City? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny!
#19 - The Flash
Season 2023 - Episode 15 - Aired 6/22/2023
The DCEU has never had an easy go over the course of its 10-year existence, with most movies getting slammed by critics. But all that is set to change with the release of The Flash. Just kidding. The Flash dove deep into development hell, with a constant change in directors, writers, and some notably erratic and violent behavior from star Ezra Miller. The Flash definitely raises some questions. Like was this entire production cursed? Can people handle two Ezra Millers? How many insane events happened in one day in 2013? Did Barry learn a lesson at the end of this or not? How many cameos can they shove into this thing? What was with that CGI? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Flash!
#20 - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Season 2023 - Episode 14 - Aired 6/15/2023
Ever since the first Transformers movie became a worldwide phenomenon over fifteen years ago, Paramount has been churning out movies in the franchise every few years. The latest entry into the giant-robots-punching-each other film series is here, starring Anthony Ramos as the latest human-person-down-on-their-luck-who-discovers-a-Transformer. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts definitely raises some questions. Like why are we barely seeing the beasts when the movie title promises that they’ll be rising? Does continuity matter at all, or are we just done with that? What kind of Macguffin is everyone after this time? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Rise of the Beasts!
#21 - The Little Mermaid (2023)
Season 2023 - Episode 13 - Aired 6/8/2023
Disney has been rampaging through their list of classic animated films and remaking them with a blend of live-action and CGI. The next on the list is The Little Mermaid! Because they WILL do to every animated movie they’ve ever released. They will. The Little Mermaid definitely raises some questions. Like why do all the creatures have to look so real? Why is Flounder scary? If Ursula can just lie and cheat, why even bother with a deal? Did Eric actually fall in love or was he just under the spell of the Siren call? How many of these remakes are left? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Little Mermaid!
#22 - Fast X
Season 2023 - Episode 12 - Aired 5/25/2023
It’s been over two decades since the first Fast & Furious movie came out, a relatively low-key movie about some street racers that steal DVD players. With the franchise having gone to space in the last installment, what more is there for the Fast Family to do at this point? Just keep going on, looks like. Fast X definitely raises some questions. Like how did they land on that title? How many people from Dom’s past are out there right now plotting revenge? What’s with the tourism stop after getting on the most wanted list? What was that ENTIRE scene with Pete Davidson?? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Fast X!
#23 - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Season 2023 - Episode 11 - Aired 5/11/2023
t’s been nearly a decade since James Gunn brought the Guardians of the Galaxy into the MCU, and arguably changed the direction of the entire cinematic universe. The success of that first movie opened the door for Marvel to explore lesser-known comic book characters and also seemingly gave them the green light to go all-in on comedy beats (for better or for worse.) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 definitely raises some questions. Like what's Adam Warlock actually doing in this movie? How did they make High Evolutionary so despicable so quickly? Are kids gonna be okay after all that intense animal stuff? Why didn't Star-Lord have his helmet and boots? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!!
#24 - The Mandalorian Season 3
Season 2023 - Episode 10 - Aired 4/27/2023
Since the first season of The Mandalorian in 2019 was well-received by critics and audiences alike, Disney has been going all-in on their streaming series set in the Star Wars universe. With reception getting colder and colder with each passing show, there was some hope that the third season of their hit show would turn the tides a little. It… does not seem to have done that. The Mandalorian Season 3 definitely raises some questions. Like why do these Star Wars shows keep making their main characters into side characters? Why do bad guys keep “somehow returning”? Are we ever going to see Mando’s face again, or is Pedro Pascal just over all of this? Why does the plot meander for so long and then suddenly pick up steam in the last two episodes? Is this show over now? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Mandalorian Season 3!
#25 - The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Season 2023 - Episode 9 - Aired 4/20/2023
It’s been 30 years since the last time we saw Mario on the big screen, and that… did not go so well. Finally, the multiple decades have seemingly allowed the Nintendo Corporation to cool off and give Mario and Luigi another shot at cashing in in Hollywood. The Super Mario Bros. Movie definitely raises some questions. Like why was there a warp pipe under the streets of Brooklyn? Why did Princess Peach bring up her mysterious past and then not explain any further? What are these power-up boxes and how did they get there? Why didn’t Toad have to do that obstacle course, and why did Mario have to spend so much time doing it only to fail? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Super Mario Bros. Movie!
