Pitching Our Dream Movie Theaters
Guys, hear us out. We’ve decided to pitch movie theaters this week. That’s right. We’re building our dream palaces of cinema. First we gab about the current ongoing “crisis” in the business of movie theaters. What works. What doesn’t. Then we hammer out a pitch for our dream theaters to Mr. Movieplex himself. Deciding on everything from the name, amount of screens, concession choices, and method of corporal punishment for talking and texting. If you’ve ever been to a movie theater…this is the only podcast for you.

Jack Black - 2009 (with Grant Oliphint)
Minecraft is sweeping the nation so we thought it's about damn time we brought a man in this elevator who's well known for his work as a substitute teacher, mafioso shark, Blockbuster video aficionado, luchador, and now a man named Steve...none other than Jack Black. We're pitching to Jack in 2009. Some would call that a career apex. But with the #1 movie in America, maybe it's right now. Let's discuss!

A WORKING MAN and Jason Statham
We thought we were retired...turns out we're back for one last pod. Kidding. But it is time to honor a man who continues to come out of retirement and inflict cinematic pain any way he sees fit. Mechanic. Transporter. Beekeeper. Hobbs (or Shaw, not too sure). And now WORKING MAN. None other than Jason Statham. First we break down Statham's new David Ayer movie - A Working Man. Then, we lock into the career of a man who's roundhouse kicked and throat stabbed his way into our hearts. Finally, we pitch to Statham two movies that he could've or can make any damn time he'd like. Lionsgate is down for all of it.
1. We pick one name in movies.
2. We pick one year of their career.
3. We pitch this special somebody what they should have done that year.
Welcome to Elevator Pitch. We're glad you're here. New Episodes every Monday (unless we're busy and don't want to do it)
