Pitch Meeting Season 8 Full Episode Guide
Zack Snyder has been given rull reign by Netlix to do whatever he wants to do, and apparently what that is, is kinda Star Wars but with a lot more farming? Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargive rdefinitely raises some questions. Like how long would this movie be at normal speed? Why is there so much farming and so little character development? Why does she have a nickname that implies her enemies always survive her attacks? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver!

YA movies were all the rage in the early 2010s, but a strange thing happened where those young adults… aged? It seems like the even younger adults did not share the same enthusiasm for the genre, and nothing made that clearer than the drop-off that was seen in the Divergent series. The Divergent Series: Insurgent definitely raises some questions. Like how is Tris so good at hair styling? How did the bad guys get that magic technology in the past 5 days? How do any conspiracies exist when truth serum is a thing? How does Janine lose when she’s mind-controlling an entire faction?

Ghostbusters was a massive success in 1984, but it took more than half a decade for the world to get a second one! Why? I don’t know. That information is probably available on Google. Reasons, presumably. Ghostbusters 2 definitely raises some questions. Like did they just redo every beat of the first movie but slightly different? Is Venkman even a Ghostbuster or are we just following his love life? And most importantly, how did everyone forget that ghosts exist?!
AD
After more than a decade of studios trying to build cinematic universe after cinematic universe, one that has actually surprisingly stuck around is the Monsterverse, featuring increasingly insane movies where large things punch other large things.

Why is there a podcaster and a child on this trip? How detailed were those hierogylphics?

It’s been sequelized and animated and rebooted and sequelized again, and now Ghostbusters is BACK with another sequel before the animated reboot comes out!

What exactly what Garraka’s plan? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire!

With movies based on YA novels like The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Twilight and Harry Potter doing great at the box office for years, you can’t really blame Lionsgate for trying to recapture that magic with Divergent. Did they success? Hey, no. Divergent definitely raises some questions. Like what’s with the big weird age gap between Tris and Four? What happens is Four gets scared of something new? What’s with the whole testing ceremony? Why eliminate people if you’re just trying to build a mind-controlled army? How exactly does that mind control stuff work anyway?

Before the writers of Madame Web and Morbius graced the world with those cinematic experiences, they delivered Gods of Egypt, a movie that exists and was made and exists. Gods of Egypt definitely raises some questions. Like why is the God of Egypt Scottish? Why didn’t the other gods help Horus when they were all together, instead of being picked off individually later? What was the point of the entire second act? To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Gods of Egypt!

Sony has been attempting to attract some of Spider-Man success in the MCU by released several Spider-Man-Adjacent movies like Venom and Morbius in the past few years.

Matthew Vaughn really made a name for himself with the ultra-stylized action movie Kingsman: The Secret Service in 2014. Now he’s bringing us Argylle, with an absolutely stacked cast of actors who are sometimes in it! Argyle definitely raises some questions. Like why was Henry Cavill presented as the star of this movie when he’s in it for just a few minutes? How many twists is too many twists? What does The Division even do? Why did they let her publicly share their secrets for half a decade? What’s that cat doing here?

Disney has been going all-out with Marvel TV shows on Disney+ over the past few years - with seemingly dwindling interest from audience. Their latest show “Echo” is a spinoff of one of those shows, centred around a character who was kind of in it! Echo definitely raises some questions. Like how did Kingpin survive that? Why are we rooting for a character that puts her family and innocent people’s lives in danger? What are her powers exactly? Did she just speedrun Kingpin’s therapy?

Blumhouse has made a name for themselves in the horror genre with massive box office hits on relatively low budgets. But as their output increases, sometimes we get some movies that just aren’t hit material. Take a movie that’s about a haunted pool, for example.

AD
Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire definitely raises some questions. Like is this movie a long montage? Why is everything slow-mo? When you join the squad, are you required to just stand silently in the background?
