So weâre talking classic high school movies, why we accept watching adults playing teenagers, and the weird things we thought were normal thirty years ago. Ahir manages to pull out a hell of a concept for a film. But we have to wait 20 years to release it - will it be worth the wait? Enjoy!

London Hughes Pitches a Gender Bending Doppelganger Drama!
This week, London Hughes joins Jimmy Carr, and her subgenre is⊠Teen Supernatural Drama.
Maybe our most combative episode yet? London comes into Jimmyâs office to pitch a strictly caucasian film. Along the way, they argue about ghosts, doppelgangers, Jimmy being a âspicy whiteâ and why black people never go camping. And Florence Pugh. Itâs a very funny episode. Enjoy!Â

Asim channels his alter ego Chabuddy G to pitch one of the most insane film ideas yet. Bollywood action scenes, micro penises and far right racism - whatâs not to love?

Michelle Wolf Pitches a Live-Action Romance with Talking Animals!
Our guest this week is Michelle Wolf! And Michelleâs subgenre is⊠Coming Of Age Animal Tales.
A self confessed bad pitcher, this week Michelle brings an idea that goes against both God and nature. Along the way, she showcases her knowledge of all things Chinese, discusses the difficulty of coming out if youâre a baby rhino, and threatens to flip the coffee table over. Itâs a good one.

Chris McCausland Pitches a Revenge Thriller with a Blind Assassin and a Talking Dog!
Jimmy's guest this week is Chris McCausland! And the subgenre he's working with is ⊠One Person Army.
One of our most chaotic episodes yet, Chris pitches an idea that is absolutely nothing like John Wick (nothing at all like it so stop even thinking that). He casts himself as the main character, thereâs a magic dog talking beyond the grave, he repeatedly pitches a tagline that Jimmy hates and yet somehow, there might be not one but two great film ideas in there.
