Ep 61: The Fall Guys
Interviewing a sitting president is a prestigious badge for a journalist to wear, and not an easy gig to acquire; especially in the early ages of the US Presidency. So how did the first female reported to interview a president get it to happen? She held his clothes hostage while he was swimming naked in a river...let's turn this story into a blackmail coverup in a wrestling corporation, shall we? Article in discussion.

Ep 60: Decked Out
During the 17th century, the Puritans were pretty strict about celebration and general happiness...In fact, they basically outlawed Christmas celebration. We take this idea and pitch a modern Grinch storyline around a small department store in St. Louis. Let's see what you think, shall we? Article in discussion.

Ep 59: Terrarium
In 1944, during the height of WWII, America built a brand new Boeing Factory, but this one was different. On top of the factory roof, they disguised it with a fake neighborhood to throw off any Japanese bombers that may fly by. Not only trees and houses, but cars and actors to pretend to be citizens. We take this idea and turn it into a psychological thriller while trying our hardest to stay away from The Truman Show territory. Article in discussion.

Ep 58: Longship
Off the coast of Portugal, there is a small island known as Corvo. When it was discovered, those explorers saw a manmade statue already on the island. Or did they? As the story was passed down from generation to generation it changed so slightly each time. So we made a movie about ancient gods who take vacations on a small island and mingle with the single humans. Enjoy!   Video in discussion.

Ep. 57: Juniper Lane
For those of you youngin's, back in the 1980's there was a pretty successful sitcom named ALF about an alien who lived with a family and tried to eat their cat. The alien was a puppet, and the human cast...well didn't like playing second fiddle to no puppet. We discuss the history of ALF and pitch a movie about a man with a puppeteering passion and a bunch of aliens. That's about right, huh? Give it a listen! Article in discussion.

Ep 56: Falsehood
The American Civil War ended in 1865...or did it? According to one small town in Brazil, the Confederacy never lost, or at least did nothing wrong? This episode we discuss the Brazilian town of Americana where the Confederacy lives on! We're sorry...but we do go into detail about the idiocy of racism, so there's that. Article in discussion.

Ep 55: Smooth, Brain
Albert Einstein passed in 1955. The first thing that happened after his death was...his brain being stolen by the Doctor who performed the autopsy. For 30 years the remains of Einstein's brain was passed around via scientists to be poked and prodded. We decided to do sort of a futuristic, dystopian, Freaky Friday-esque film based on this idea. You should probably check it out. Article in discussion.

Ep 54: Hucksters
During Prohibition, America was getting antsy about dealing with people having a good time. So, they did what any government does when they want to shut down a party: they poison the entire group of people there. That's right, the American Government straight up poisoned its citizens to stop them from drinking alcohol. Let's figure out a way to make this a fun con-man style political scandal film, shall we?

Ep 53: Means of Production
You say you always wanted to be an international spy? Well, back during WWII you could have been one without any prior training or connection to the military. In this episode we discuss the existence of the Simple Sabotage Field Manual created for people looking to help their country win the war with the weirdest possible saboteur skills you could imagine. We take this idea and turn it into an all-around disastrous 90's Office comedy directed by...who else? Mike Judge. Article in discussion
