Life's A Pitch Podcast

Did you really think we would end it there?? No, silly, we're just having a week off after not having a break for 400 weeks without missing an episode! Here's some audio about the making of episode 400 and us trying to get to the bottom of what's been going on in the podcast for the past few years. Enjoy!

It's episode 400 and it's October, surely nothing strange will happen. We pitch some brilliant Cosmic Horror movies in this one, and nothing bad happens at all. Mystery Boxes, Starspawn in the deep and roads that jomble you into someone else. All of it is great fuel for the energy of confusion. Special thanks to Louise Hedge for the incredible piano performance and arrangement.

This week Matt and Tom were joined by the CEO of Life's a Pitch Dave Bulmer to pitch the biopics of some incredible musical legends. Regrettably this week there was a violent incursion by an unknown force into Life's a Pitch Towers, please listen to the end of the podcast but be wary that there is some seemingly violent audio from the incursion.

We pitch a James Bond road trip movie, Danielle and Tom talk about the movies we've made together and Matt explains why he likes the concept of films. This is the deleted scenes for episode 396, we'd recommend listening to that first for context... Or you can do whatever you like, we're not M off of the James Bonds.

These are the Deleted Scenes from the Life's a Pitch podcast episode 395, if you wish for a single crumb of context, please go listen to the main episode. Or don't, we're not Morpheus Lord of Dreams or anything. Do what you want.

We pitch some animation/live-action blends and come up with a strange crime caper about the abuse of power, at least when the power is the ability to be an animal who can talk to humans.

We try and talk so hard about Aliens and the Alien genre but Welcome to Wrexham on Disney plus is just so good! We also pitch a movie about Allens! This is the deleted scenes for episode 394, so it might be worth listening to that before this. Or not, do whatever you want, we're not Phil Parkinson, current manager of Wrexham FC (as of time of uploading)

Honourable mentions "Hank's Not Quite Right" - On a remote oil rig, someone falls off and comes back up, but they're just not quite right. "We Noticed You From Across the Galaxy and We Dig Your Vibe" - Tom Cruise teams up with Vin Diesel to escape a creepy Alien cult.

With no genre to discuss, we get stuck into answering some random questions from prompt cards. They're mostly still movie and tv related though. What are your answers to the questions asked? Get in touch @lifesapitchshow on twitter or facebook.com/lifesapitchpodcast

While Tom is away in Edinburgh, we go back to basics, pitching one movie each. A sad, serious drama about Pinocchio after the fairy tale blossoms into a hostage situation, and then there's a Teen Horror about exploitative capitalist practice in tourist traps... and bird men.

We talk a lot about Steve Jobs in this and pitch a movie about soaps. It's a real tear jerker, unlike Johnson and Johnson products!
