Three working screenwriters in the trenches of Hollywood play a game where they draw two random movies and are forced to instantly come up with a classic “this meets this” movie pitch. What started as a drinking game at Glen Powell’s house spiraled into hundreds of unhinged movie ideas, a few real script sales, and a ton of laughs. Now, it’s a podcast. Each episode is part interview, part game show where we’re joined by writers, actors, filmmakers, executives and celebrities to play along… all competing to pitch the one idea that gets the green light… while the rest get sent to development hell.
