The watch party never ends...And why should it when we're talking one of our favorites, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, with Jack Lawler of the Daily Friday Podcast. We turn our mics from 6 to midnight and get inside of the beloved Jason Segal flick. First we chat about its generational pull, then we draft our favorite scenes, and finally we make sure to call out a few moves worth incorporating into our rotation. So many quotes. So many laughs. And one massive hog.WATCH THE DAILY FRIDAY:https://www.youtube.com/@TheDailyFridayMEMES AND CLIPS:https://www.instagram.com/theelevatorpitchpod/https://www.tiktok.com/@elevatorpitchpod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

We're taking this pod back to 2016 for another edition of WATCH PARTY and revisiting Shane Black's The Nice Guys starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. We chat about the movie's slow burn into the lexicon, 70s LA, shaving in your car, Kim Basinger reading off cue cards, when Gosling was GREAT, and more. It's a good hang. Not as good as Crowe and Gosling's hang. But still good enough. Don't get greedy.

Today we're straight up pitching award shows because the ones we've got are straight up all the same thing. But first, a little mailbag. We answer questions like...Who's the best hang this year in movies? What alternative sport should get the Marty Supreme treatment next? What is KR Drywall? Then we chat about the current state of awards shows and how clip farming has forever changed their nature (20:20).

Today on the pod, Will Zooms in from his dank Glendale pad and Matt Skypes on from New York to trade off their top 5 first time watches of the year. No 2025 releases allowed. It's good fun and even better recommendations! But sorry for the audio quality. We'll be back at Friday Beers HQ next week.

FROM THE VAULT...It's time to do what we've been waiting all year to, give a thoughtful and nuanced review of The Rock's new movie, Red One. This doesn't take long. So we spend the rest of our time talking all things Christmas movies. Our favorites, the different types, and the future of the genre. Finally, we PITCH some of our own (49:03). This is an episode not to miss. Truly a pod of good tidings and great joy.

Would you look at that…it’s Pitchmas season once again. But this time…it’s SEQUELS. First a quick I Love LA recap. Then we dig into fake sequels to real Christmas movies (11:35).

Today in the elevator, we MERGE, ACQUIRE, AND PITCH. Yup. We're making a fake damn movie out of the ongoing Warner Bros sale to either Netflix or maybe Paramount (44:24). But first, a weekly I Love LA recap that touches on the nature of digital stars exploring their lives in the long form (00:00).

But most importantly, it's time to PITCH fake movies to the one and only bard of bespoke...Nancy Meyers. Today we're joined by writer Cori Root and comedian Graham Byrne to talk Nancy like no pod ever has. Okay fine we spend some time talking interiors...but so much else!

It's time for Elevator Pitch to REWATCH once again. That's right. Watch Party is back. And we're talking about a movie everyone on earth has seen 47 times on FX... Just Go With It. So much to discuss. Swardson's surgically enhanced dong. Brooklyn Decker's short lived film career. Aniston. Kidman. Griffin Gluck??? And of course, the star of it all... Kevin Nealon. Kidding. It's Adam Sandler. We talk a whole bunch about Sandler.

Today on Elevator Pitch, we're chopping it up about your favorite character actor's favorite character actor. Diilon Panther. Known rival of Lil Bow Wow. Meth dealer. Civil War PATRIOT?

Today on the pod, we welcome back screenwriter and Bruce Springsteen expert Marc Brockwell to chat about DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE and its star...beef sandwhich artist, 80s wrestler, guy named Lip, professional hotmaxxer, and now Bruce Springsteen himself...Mr. Jeremy Allen White. Listen y'all, we know you probably didn't see this movie. BUT THAT'S OKAY. It's a great convo nonetheless. Plus we do a little investigation on his sauce (35:06). And if you need to skip ahead...y'all know where to pick up. Those damn JAW pitches (48:50). And ohhhh buddy, they're good.

Will is BACK from Croatia, and we knew there was only one star to pitch fake movies to this week. The late great Pinterest interior designer, racket ball player, playwright, mafia wife, and first wife...Diane Keaton. We remember the film icon and discuss how her emergence in 70s Hollywood classics informed her absurdly good 90s run, capped by a favorite of ours...Something's Gotta Give.

What's next for the smashing machine?

Pitching is back on Elevator Pitch and and oh my god...it's Paul Thomas Anderson week. We become the first podcast in history to chat about his new movie ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER starring Leo, Benicio, Teyana Taylor, and introducing Chase Infiniti. Then we pitch (50:52) to the master of Masters, the hitmaker of dressmakers, the Orson Wells of porn, the mayor of Magnolia Boulevard, the guy who...directed There Will Be Blood. It's one of the greats. We're nervous, but we've got some pitches for him. So tune in.

It's been too long. Sorta forgot how to write these blurbs (and optimize them for seo purposes). But WE'RE BACK. Will catches us up on his month of filming another movie and Matt takes us through his world travels. Then... we don't pitch. Instead, it's a catch up of every single movie we watched and didn't get to chat about...including WEAPONS, THE NAKED GUN, and LAWRENCE LAMONTS'S ONE OF THEM DAYS. Two friends reuniting through the power of content creation. It doesn't get better than this.

Here's the deal...Elevator Pitch is gonna go on a little break. Why? Well we both just gotta buy a one way train ticket, performativity read Joan Didion, and stare out the damn window till we figure out who we really are. That's right. It's summer vacation. Time for us to TRAVEL. Will's heading off to do a movie and Matt's literally doing that first thing so we decided to chat travel movies...Well Will and Tanner chat travel movies before Matt comes off the top rope with a pitch (44:08). He can't be there live unfortunately. Treadstone is on his tails. And even worse...SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW.

This week in the elevator, we’re getting a whole bunch of gangs back together. From the guys that brought you the comedies you love, comes a podcast about the legacy comedy sequels that inevitably come after. Did any of this make sense? Long story short…Caleb Saad joins us to chat about Happy Gilmore 2 and pitch some more legacy comedy sequels that don’t exist yet…and probably never should (1:02:30). Our most negative podcast yet! Join us as we get super existential about fart jokes and killing off your wife before the title credits.

We're taking this elevator to New Mexico for a pitch session and convo all about a true cinematic sicko...Ari Aster. But we can't do it alone. We're joined by stand up comedian and known Aster skeptic Noah Marger to chat about the auteur of the abominable and his new immunocompromised film EDDINGTON. What worked? What didn't? Did Tanner play one of the Antifa militants? Did Tanner play all of them? These answers and more. Only on Ari Aster's Elevator Pitch.Aster/Eddington Chat - 00:00Pitches - 1:06:48HAVE YOU SUBSCRIBED TO OUR YOUTUBE?WATCH NOAH'S SPECIAL:https://youtu.be/vwKQH7wCRdU?si=drTekbpZVwWf_scuFOLLOW US:Instagram: ⁠⁠instagram.com/theelevatorpitchpod⁠⁠Tik Tok: ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@elevatorpitchpod

Oh my lord...this elevator found its way to Metropolis. That's right. It's time to talk Superman. Was it good? Was it fine? And most importantly, what should its star DAVID CORENSWET do next? Because we think he is a star! So is Hoult! And Brosnahan! And Bradley---Actually I'll let you get there yourself. In the meantime, we've cranked up the thermostat and turned the mics on.

The mics are on, the raptors are out of the cage and even worse...Tanner is back into the elevator. We're also joined by Matt's roommate, Sigma Chi Brother 4 Life, and known Reddit paleontologist Noah Paradise to chat about all things Jurassic Park. We start with the newest instillation, Jurassic World: Rebirth before finding our way back to the original three (19:18). Goldblum. Raptors. Michael Chrichton. Nick Van Owen. Nothing's off the table. We lick the damn bowl clean. Then we toss out some other lab disasters. What makes for a good science gone wrong movie? Let's find out. We're gonna pitch our own (49:19).

We finally saw F1 so it's time to box for a quick two hour pod and change the pitch oil. But first, shall we chat about the blockbuster hit and its star? Why not. After all it's none other than thief/hotel manager, fight club entrepreneur, old man baby, Oakland A's GM, stunt double, forgotten silent film-era star, fake Italian film star, spy gamer, and personal trainer...Brad Pitt. So up top is our F1 chat. What works and what...almost works. Then we go full Pitt. Lot's of Oceans Twelve. Some Moneyball. Maybe a little Allied if you're lucky (38:57). Then we have our first pitch conversation (1:23:27). We'll explain all that. It's different. It's fun. IT'S PITT.

It’s time again for Tanner to call the shots. He had once simple request. Pitch fake movies to the pride of Long Island, Alec Baldwin. We thought it’d be best to take this one to 1997, smack in the middle of his go at leading man status. The Hunt for Red October. The Getaway. Malice. The MF Edge. Who was this guy anyway??? (1:02:43) But first, a few pieces of movie news. We just gotta talk Denis Villenueve returning to Earth for James Bond (unless he goes Moonraker) and Sorkin’s Social Network Part II. It’s a loaded episode. Billy and Stevie Baldwin would be proud of it. 

Wow...We've been waiting for this one. It's finally time to talk Celine Song's Materialists, her matchmaking follow-up to 2023's Past Lives, starring Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans, and this week's guest...Dakota Johnson. She's running fashionably late to the elevator, so we've got plenty of time up top to chat through what's surely one of the more interesting movies you'll see this year. No spoilers but let's just say Celine Song's got us in a damn TIZZY. Then we chat through some other Dakota favorites of ours and how her off-kilter performance style has evolved over the years (36:14). Then we PITCH fake movies to Dakota in whatever year we want (58:58).

It's Summer Movie Week on Elevator Pitch. We chat through some of our favorites, what exactly defines a summer flick, and finally settle the debate on whether Anatomy of a Fall really qualifies. Then we piiiiiiitch two summer movies that damn well should be made tomorrow (1:00:42).FINALLY....VIDEO EPISODES!FOLLOW US:Instagram: ⁠⁠instagram.com/theelevatorpitchpod⁠⁠Tik Tok: ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@elevatorpitchpod

You're gonna need to trust us...for one last pod. It's finally Cruise week in the elevator. Nay...it's FUTURE CRUISE WEEK in the elevator. We're joined by comedian Ryan Goldsher to chat Mission Impossible: The Final Dead Reckoning Part 2 and pitch movies to the only professional pilot, spy, deep sea diver, free solo climber, pool shark --- you know what? This bit doesn't work for Cruise. Simply too many hits. That's why we'd like to figure out what's next for the eternal movie star. So join us for a meeting of the minds and a pitch session (01:07:22) for the ages.FOLLOW US:Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/theelevatorpitchpod⁠Tik Tok: ⁠tiktok.com/@elevatorpitchpod

We're back pitching athlete movies for the first time since OJ. And this time we're talking hoops. That's right. It's basketball movie week in the elevator. We chat about the ones WITH actual NBA players and the ones WITH Omar Epps playing NBA players. The pickup movies. The high school movies. The college movies. And obviously the Lil' Bow Wow movie. Bron was in Trainwreck...Bet you didn't remember that shit...IT AIN'T BAD TOO. But I'm getting ahead of myself. After our chat, we PITCH fake movies starring real NBA players (36:03). This is our best work yet. Better than OJ. Well...not that good.

Thunderbolts*: Live Die Repeat has been out for a week, so we're finally digging our teeth into some Marvel. Producer Tanner and Matt duel mics and provide their fastest 3 minutes in podcasting on whether or not the movie ripped or slipped. THEN we chat about actress turned spy, Lady Macbeth, WWE wrestler, cult tourist of Sweden, mortal enemy of Olivia Wilde, mistress of J. Robert Oppenheimer, and now the great Russian hope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe...Florence Pugh! (30:02) Finally we pitch Flo some future films that can take her into the generational conversation she deserves to be in. (54:34) We believe she's the truth...well sometimes.

We finally saw WARFARE and we're talking all about the new(ish) film from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza. We discuss its technical accomplishments and try to pry the "why" from just "what" happened. Then we jump into its up and coming cast and the movie's place in a long lineage of up-and-coming ensemble flicks. Finally we PITCH to whoever we think truly has the juice. Which actor out of this cast shall rule Hollywood in next decade? Could that actor be Noah Centineo??? Listen and find out (49:20).

Today we pitch twin movies and talk Ryan Coogler's new hit flick SINNERS starring Michael B Jordan AND Michael B Jordan.

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.

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!

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.

Today on mic, we're celebrating (pitching to) one of the greatest to ever do it. Bank robber, detective, surveillance specialist, Memphis lawyer, nuclear submarine caption, Indiana high school basketball coach, and mayor of Mooseport GENE HACKMAN in the year 1977. But first a really long tangent about Hoosiers. Then we chat about Hackman's presence in New Hollywood films such as Bonnie and Clyde, The Conversation, Night Moves, and of course The French Connection (7:53). Will breaks down how these performances differ from his later career and approach to some of my Hackman core texts such as The Firm, The Firm, Crimson Tide, and The Firm. Then we pitch to Gene in the year 1977. Smack in the middle of a changing Hollywood (52:53).oh and some real SMUT at the tail end (1:09:08) FOLLOW US:https://www.instagram.com/theelevatorpitchpod/

One of my damn heroes joins us in the elevator tonight. Director of Out of Sight, Oceans 11-13, Sex, Lies, AND Videotape, and now BLACK BAG...Steven Sodergoat. We talk about his new espionage thriller over a couple glasses of Singani 63 (you'll also learn what that is) and discuss whether or not a spy thriller directed by Sodergoat and starring Michael Fassbender was a dream I had or if it actually happened. THEN we chop it up about some of Steven's other work. The good, the good, and the really fucking good. FINALLY we pitch Sodergoat movies in the year 2005, hot off Oceans Twelve...a desert island motion picture for yours truly.This is a really good podcast.

Sorry we missed the news cycle entirely but here's 90 minutes of recap and mailbag excellence. Today on the pod there will be no pitches. There won't even be a Tanner (well..for the most part). Instead an Oscars review followed by some good ol' Q&A. We answer such questions as do you think anyone will steal your ideas and make them movies? Who is Mikey Madison? What actor is poised for a 2025 rebrand? Seriously...who is Mikey Madison?We answer everything. No questions left behind. Enjoy!

We're prepping for the Academy Awards here in the elevator with our long awaited discussion on Best Picture frontrunner ANORA. We welcome in Moods Radio curator Nick Canchola as well as the pride of New Jersey, writer/director Sean Baker. Then we pitch movies to Sean Baker starring the most obscure actors we can think of (49:21). Casting ideas so crazy they just might SELL.

It's a monumental day in the elevator as we're joined by one of our favorites...a treasure hunting pilot, cardio-vascular surgeon on the run, Working Guy, CIA family man who's just an analyst, Amish-curious carpenter, and Mosquito Coast inhabitant HARRISON FORD. But first, Tanner bangs out the fastest three minutes in movies, reviewing Ford's new Marvel film: Captain America: Brave New World. Then, we discuss Ford's late 80s/early 90s heater chalk full of character driven (cool guys in tweed blazers) thrillers. Finally we pitch in the year 1989 (49:40) and dream cast Ford into our own 90s masterpiece that'll surely play on TNT for years to come.

Pack your bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils and meet us on the top of the Empire State Building because it's Nora Ephron week in the elevator. That's right. For Valentine's Day we're pitching to the great writer, director, novelist, and kitchen map enthusiast. But first, a quick chat about a new trailer that piqued our interest. Then a discussion on Ephron's legacy and background as a filmmaker. Finally, we pitch to Nora hot off You've Got Mail in the year 2000 (44:11) - just before the genre she helped pioneer takes a turn for the...worse?

It will be a podcast of the apes...cause it's finally monkey week here in the elevator. We're joined by our pal GERRY KENAH (AFTV) to discuss the music biopic BETTER MAN and debate whether the decision to make a film about British pop star Robbie Williams portrayed as a CGI monkey works. Then we try to list any time an ape, chimp, orangutan, or capuchin has graced the silver screen (30:12). Why? Because somebody's gotta do the work. Oh yeah...we also pitch our own monkey movies and it goes really really well (46:45). Maybe too well. You see, the monkeys have taken Tanner. He wants to live with them now.

Today we're taking this elevator 30,000 feet in the air but MARK BALDBERG IS TRYING TO TAKE US DOWN. That's right. We're talking FLIGHT RISK. We start off the jump with some puzzling movie news. Then we discuss the #1 movie at the box office (9:50). We then move right into some of our favorite plane movies and the aero dynamic sub-genres they fall into (27:38). And finally...we take to the skies and pitch plane movies in any year we'd like (51:20). This is not a podcast to miss. The next one takes off tomorrow at 6 AM and your bags are already on board.
