In the end, there’s only good ideas and bad ideas. Dave B. and Casey talk about the latter.

Starting this podcast was a great idea. Ending it would be a terrible one. So in that spirit, Dave B. and Casey are talking about bad ideas. And how a potentially bad concept can lead to a good one. Then they pitch the worst ideas from their 30-day movie pitch challenge.

And while this might be the end of their first season, they’ll be back.

Dave B and Casey are back with some new movie ideas. And they’re all horrific.

This episode is all about the genre we love to scream at. Dave B. and Casey talk about how horror films have shaped their lives. And they tackle the biggest question of them all: Fast zombies or slow zombies? They also pitch two films that fit into two different subgenres of horror, but are both somehow connected to BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019).

A long time ago… in the future… which may or may not be a dystopia… there’s some movie pitches.

In space, no one can hear you pitch movies. So Dave B and Casey are using this episode as an opportunity to talk about all things sci-fi.
