S7 EP6 | Legacy sequels ask a lot, and the studio has made a very difficult demand: build a franchise out of the critically panned and financial failure that is 1997's Event Horizon. And not just one film, but two.

Yay
Such a fun show.
There are a handful of podcasts out there like this, where the hosts outline a movie on the fly. But these guys do a really great job with their storycraft.
Itâs probably hokey to say it, but I really wish I could see some of these movies that these guys come up with. (Rocketeer 2 and Alien: Frontier in particular.)

Two screenwriters collaboratively brainstorm and pitch reimaginings of existing film franchises based on listener or studio-imposed demands. Episodes emphasize high-concept storytelling, cross-genre experimentation, and the craft of pitching and shaping narratives with a playful, banter-heavy dynamic. Across samples, the show often centers on how to balance spectacle with character, licensing realities, and audience engagement, delivering loud, idea-dense sessions that blend nostalgia with fresh twists. A standout is the ongoing willingness to explore offbeat eras, meta-pitches, and sponsored segments while maintaining a consistent focus on the craft of screenwriting and storytelling under studio pressure.
