Victor is officially the Theodore to Grant and Andrew's Alvin & Simon. So the worst. Andrew and Grant get caught up in PS5 shenanigans.  Is it worth it?  More importantly, is it too thicc??  Also, We take a look into Grant's psyche, his unique (?) Euphoria comparison, and a little bit of Drake (0:30-15:10). Andrew talks corporate fraud and the destruction of the independent creatives, all the while Grant just stands idly by.  No Comment. In better news, Grant delves into the "weeb shit."  Learn how anime and bourbon are essentially the same thing. We briefly mention Christmas day movie premieres, and the new norm of distributions, but for sure listen to the bourbon comp (15:30-32:00). Finally, we Pitch you on Lovecraft Country!  What happens when you combine Lovecraftian horror with Indiana Jones with Nine Tailed Foxes with Interdimensional Beyonce women with Time Travel with Christian allegories WITH racism? A cool show, but damn there's a lot to unpack here (32:30-1:10:00).   We Have Social Media Now, You Know What To Do:  Twitter: @Pod_Pitch Instagram: thepitchpod YouTube: The Pitch Pod Discord: DM US   Show Notes: Headlines: https://thenerdy.com/movies-skip-theaters-for-home-release-but-is-it-sustainable/ https://thenerdy.com/anime-popularity-is-exploding-on-netflix/ https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/19/21578621/disney-alan-dean-foster-royalties-copyright-law  Educate Yourself: https://morbidlybeautiful.com/20-horror-books-black-writers/     Catch Us Next Time As We Pitch You On Junji Ito's Uzamaki!

No Intro Today, had some audio mishaps.  Just pretend I said something about today's ______ episode and yadayada.   Halloween bah humbug, Berserk updates, and most importantly: is Baby Yoda salt or a red pepper flake???? (0:23-7:45). Boy oh boy, we got more CRUNCH on the agenda, Victor gets us excited about mental atrophy, and Genndy Tartakovsky is making a cartoon about Unicorns, but badass (7:50-20:45) Finally, Grant geeks on OtGW.  Phonographic Music, Ol' English Art, maybe a little purgatory and Wendigo's too.  This miniseries OOZES Autumn (21:00-52:20)   Greg is the best character in the series and because I write the show descriptions y'all have to deal with it being Pitch Pod canon.       We Have Social Media Now, You Know What To Do:  Twitter: @Pod_Pitch Instagram: thepitchpod YouTube: The Pitch Pod Discord: DM US   Show Notes: Headlines: https://www.vg247.com/2020/10/30/cyberpunk-2077-cd-projekt-red-ceo-apology-staff-crunch/ https://www.pcgamer.com/interview-darkest-dungeon-2s-new-3d-look-monsters-the-narrator-and-its-surprising-aspirational-spirit/ https://www.cartoonbrew.com/streaming/new-genndy-tartakovsky-series-tiny-toons-reboot-ordered-at-hbo-max-and-cartoon-network-198174.html   HBO POWERPUFF GIRLS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbq2jgw6y8 OtGW Soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUEAwm_bpPc&list=OLAK5uy_nsXH6Z4kPHpZKO6hjhmJeGbIdphBrmuN8 Norman Rockwell https://www.wayfair.com/Vault-W-Artwork--Freedom-From-Want-by-Norman-Rockwell-Painting-Print-on-Wrapped-Canvas-X112044595-L1318-K~W001933484.html?refid=GX432848848450-W001933484_287326319&device=c&ptid=903384912436&network=g&targetid=pla-903384912436&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=100616893&fdid=1817&PiID%5B%5D=287326319&gclid=Cj0KCQjwufn8BRCwARIsAKzP694ViylSj-N4Uyy-LE2-JTbPtIQVq6Hugal6yEkc_YR-zfwAB9y-KcgaAvCEEALw_wcB       Catch Us Next Time As We Pitch You On Lovecraft Country!

I know I said 30 minutes each, but then I also said give or take.  We just happened to give.   On today's episode we ditch the headlines and go straight into our relationship with All Hallow's Eve, and a little bit of Andrew's traumatic childhood (0:36-7:10). Andrew's Pitch: Nightmare Before Christmas (7:10-24:20) Victor's Pitch: The Thing (1982) (24:20-35:40) Grant's Pitch: Beetlejuice (35:40-52:45) We delve into some honorable and maybe less honorable mentions.  Also, Grant's next pitch!  (52:45-1:02:24)   We Have Social Media Now, You Know What To Do:  Twitter: @Pod_Pitch Instagram: thepitchpod YouTube: The Pitch Pod Discord: DM US   THE SCOOBY DOO PROJECT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAe5oZpDMgs&t=4s     Catch Us Next Time As We Pitch You On Over the Garden Wall!

The First Rule About The Pitch Pod is You Have to Talk About The Pitch Pod.  Literally everyone.  Do it now.   Today, Grant takes you down a trip towards memory lane.  And by that we mean the last episode (0:39-5:30)! We talk video game updates upon video game updates, the downfall of cinema, and Whataburger (5:00-22:25). Finally, we Pitch you on Fight Club!  How did we get over knowing the twist?  Is Brad Pitt too hot?  Does Andrew finally think one of Victor's opinions is viable?   Also, we all know a Tyler.  If you are a Tyler, stop being a Tyler (22:25-1:10:30).   We Have Social Media Now, You Know What To Do:  Twitter: @Pod_Pitch Instagram: thepitchpod YouTube: The Pitch Pod   Show Notes: Blind Pitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz_HOkA1RwU(Skip to 23:30)   Hades Documentary https://youtu.be/JzyE9hi912c   Headlines https://comicbook.com/movies/news/cineworld-closing-theaters-until-2021-no-time-to-die-delay/     Catch Us Next Time As We Pitch You On The Halloween Special!

So I know we totally said two weeks from the last episode, but are you complaining?  Didn't think so.  For real, for real, we are biweekly from now on.    Today, Grant doesn't know how to do a proper introduction, but the Emmy's are a thing (0:39-5:00)! We talk all about the PlayStation and Xbox next gen, Monster Hunter exists, and where The Mandalorian Season 2 could go next (probably not Mandalore) (5:00-24:52). Finally, we Pitch you on the dastardly duo of Dredd and Starship Troopers!  A traffic jam, a dystopian Mega City, and a few million smushed bugs later, is there any hope for humanity (24:52-1:12:12)?   We Have Social Media Now, You Know What To Do:  Twitter: @Pod_Pitch Instagram: thepitchpod YouTube: The Pitch Pod   Show Notes: Headlines https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/creative-arts-emmys-winners-animation-guest-actor-actress-tv-movie-1234776006/ https://thenerdy.com/mandalorian-season-2-release-date/   Blind Pitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43-BefmjMFg     Catch Us Next Time As We Pitch You On Fight Club!

Today, we talk Grant committing a sin, Andrew probably committing a sin, and Victor's tiny blip of fleeting happiness (0:39-12:58). We get way too excited about RC cars that'll probably be terribly overpriced in hindsight.  Also, people with very limited knowledge on science and technology give you a technology and science lesson (12:58-26:52). Finally, we Pitch you on Fire Emblem!  Grant and Andrew reminisce about their fated friendship, Victor has no capacity for self-restraint, and Jesus this franchise gets dark (26:52-1:05:55).   We Have Social Media Now, Told Ya I'd Get It Done!  Follow Us!

We didn't talk about Detective Pickachu once, I promise.  We DO talk about Grant's waning mental state, CRPG's, and the first ever "Blind Pitch"  (0:49-6:05). We break down the DC Fandome event.  Andrew's adoration of extended cuts, Grant's love for Suicide Squad, and Victor's appreciation for everything.  Or maybe it was the opposite of that.  Also, the American Educational System has ruins review culture (6:10-17:30). Finally, we Pitch you on the iconic and highly regarded Berserk.  What were the differences between the manga and anime adaptations?  Does the Golden Age arc hold up?  Will a Mangaka ever create a good female character (17:40-57:05)?

Our name is The Pitch Pod, you haven't listened to our podcast yet, prepare to die! We debate whether we should bury our dreams and become a Detective Pikachu podcast, the legitimacy of Fall Guys, and being a hater for the sake of hatin' (0:41-12:00). We discuss the beginning of the end for the Netflix Avatar film adaptation, video game delays upon video game delays, and The Paramount Decree (12:08-29:00). Finally, we Pitch you on The Princess Bride!  Is this a perfect film?  How does drama and comedy age in movies?  Is a remake totally out of the question (29:00-51:26)?  R.I.P.

AshxGoh?  We talk Andrew's new console of choice, Grant's inability to not have debilitating hangovers, and Victor's fascination with Ludicolo (0:32-14:45).  We discuss the new Ridley Scott project Raised by Wolves, unionization in the video game industry, and poorly describe visual novels (14:54-27:05).  Finally, we make our first real pitch for Pokémon Journeys!  We go in depth on the evolution (or devolution) of Ash, the crazy economic infrastructure of the Galar region, and what our ideal Pokémon show would look like today (27:15- 1:00:15).
