    What if we (revamped) the pitch to A Christmas Carol?

    It's the holiday season, and the Bros are truly getting into the spirit! What better way to round out the year than by putting their own twist on the yuletide classic... A Christmas Carol!Join us as we step into the spirit world where the unlikely ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future come together to perform the ultimate haunt, but this time it's... televised? Using this as a public distraction, an elaborate scheme by a corrupted soul comes to light spelling trouble for the spirit realm and endangering the salvation of our eternal souls. Can Ben and Shaun write themselves into Heaven? Or will the spirits of Christmas haunt the figgy pudding out of them? 

  3. 15

    What if we pitched a Hallmark movie?

    How many different ways can the cold hearted business woman fall in love with the small town hunk who shows her the true meaning of Christmas? Well, the Bros are going to give you at least one more, in this yule tide tale that keeps on giving! We all know the saying: "If it ain't broke; don't fix it!" And, that's why Ben and Shaun will put in waaaay too much effort in order to replicate the cliches that make Hallmark movies such endearing holiday traditions! So grab a cup of hot cocoa because Christmas is coming a little early this year.

  4. 14

    What if we pitched a state fair rom-com?

    Welcome to the annual STATE FAIR! Where the wondrous smells of burnt popcorn and chili dog burps emanate through the air! The fair has a special place in all of our hearts, but for Ole' Vinny, what was once a life of adventure has turned staler than month old funnel cakes! That is of course until a middle aged mom, with youthful exuberance, begins to show him that there may be more to life past the ticket stand…

  5. 13

    Insight Part 3: What if we made a young adult trilogy?

    The epic conclusion to the Insight series is finally here! The Story Bros have battled audio issues, scheduling conflicts, and some serious writer's block in order to wrap up Sersie's  journey through the biggest teen drama series yet. You may have guessed the direction the story was going, but there are definitely some twists that you won't SEE coming... Will Sersie and her mom regain their powers? Will Team Isaac or Team Tyler get new merch? Does All-Seer prevail, or can our heroes seize victory? All of your questions will be answered (hopefully) in the most eye popping, booty glued to the seat, tear jerking, mouth watering, self reflective, bombastic final episode of... INSIGHT!

  6. 12

    Insight Part 2: What if we made a young adult trilogy?

    On this week's episode... The Story Bros take a deep d(EYE)ve into character development, while trying to figure out what truly makes the teen genre SO GOOD! We will have triangles ranging from love to the illuminati. You definitely won't want to miss this all out sequel consisting of action, deception, and loads of mommy issues. Can the Bros open their third eye, or are they in need of a new prescription?

  7. 11

    Insight Part 1: What if we made a young adult trilogy?

    Welcome to season 2! After a forced hiatus, the Bros are BACK WITH A BANGER! Do you remember the midnight premieres of the early 2010s where the teen drama ruled the silver screen? Well, The Story Bros do, and we are looking to bring it back! In this eye opening thriller... we SEE a girl who didn't know she had it in her against a world that can't contain her. What's not to like about this story that we are for some reason going to make last for three episodes? Can the Bros write an interesting trilogy, or will they lose sight of the bigger picture?

  8. 10

    What if we put ourselves in a movie?

    The Story Bros go rec-league hunting, and stumble upon an unlikely team of men...the daddy's they always wanted. Who better to party with then a group of Dads looking to re-live their youth?!? Can Shaun get the girl? Will Ben steal their wives? Can this team survive the generation gap? Wings, soccer, the FAMILY bbq, this movie has it all! Running on 5 hours of sleep the past 2 days, can Ben persevere to the end, or will he throw in the towel and cause a delay of game?

  9. 9

    What if we pitched an Edgar Wright Rom-Com?

    Samurai? Fast cars? A journey across nations seeking the true meaning of love and kick-assery? We got it all in this Edgar Wright style Rom-Com following a man named Jeremiah, and his mission to get the approval of his bride-to-be's bridesmaids. In this battle against eternal loneliness, will Ben and Shaun collect the 6 Tokens of Love, or will Fabio prevail and ride off with the girl?

  10. 8

    What if we pitched a Magic Tree House movie?

    The Story Bros go on one hell of an adventure in their longest podcast yet! This tale centers around everyone's favorite children's book series, Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osborne. Our story takes place 15 years after the books. Jack and Annie, the main characters, have grown up and forgotten their old adventures. But after the death of their father, they return to the Magic Tree House, and get one last chance to relive their childhood. Will The Story Bros slay this dragon, or is the sword mightier than the pen?

  11. 7

    What if we pitched a Medieval Times series?

    Here ye! Here ye! Come one come all! Let us tell you the tale of Medieval Times! A grand bash bringing hundreds together to watch the great medieval games of jousting, dancing, sword battles, and great food. Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the curtains at a dinner show? What can be cook'n in the kitchen, or what kind of  inter-personal drama takes place underneath your nose? Well on this episode of The Story Bros; We ponder what a tv show might look like based around the cast and crew of a Medieval Times located in a mall, filled with eccentric and lovable characters. Are the Bros onto something...or will they be knocked off their high horses?

    What if we pitched a baseball movie?

    Hello Bro Army! (we're definitely not calling you that) Uh oh, looks like Shaun came up with a last second idea: Can a group of misfits work together to convince a town that boys and girls should be able to play baseball together? Will Ben help save the day and turn this baseball bunt...into a home-run? Or will this coming of age story...strike out?

  15. 3
