Not as good as Crowe and Gosling's hang. But still good...

Today on the pod, Will Zooms in from his dank Glendale pad and Matt Skypes on from New York to trade off their top 5 first time watches of the year. No 2025 releases allowed. It's good fun and even better recommendations! But sorry for the audio quality. We'll be back at Friday Beers HQ next week.

FROM THE VAULT... It's time to do what we've been waiting all year to, give a thoughtful and nuanced review of The Rock's new movie, Red One. This doesn't take long.

Will is BACK from Croatia, and we knew there was only one star to pitch fake movies to this week. The late great Pinterest interior designer, racket ball player, playwright, mafia wife, and first wife...Diane Keaton. We remember the film icon and discuss how her emergence in 70s Hollywood classics informed her absurdly good 90s run, capped by a favorite of ours...Something's Gotta Give. Then w...

What's next for the smashing machine?

Pitching is back on Elevator Pitch and and oh my god...it's Paul Thomas Anderson week.

Then we pitch (50:52) to the master of Masters, the hitmaker of dressmakers, the Orson Wells of porn, the mayor of Magnolia Boulevard, the guy who....

It's been too long. Sorta forgot how to write these blurbs (and optimize them for seo purposes). But WE'RE BACK. Will catches us up on his month of filming another movie and Matt takes us through his world travels. Then... we don't pitch. Instead, it's a catch up of every single movie we watched and didn't get to chat about...including WEAPONS, THE NAKED GUN, and LAWRENCE LAMONTS'S ONE OF THEM DAY...

Here's the deal...Elevator Pitch is gonna go on a little break. Why? Well we both just gotta buy a one way train ticket, performativity read Joan Didion, and stare out the damn window till we figure out who we really are. That's right. It's summer vacation. Time for us to TRAVEL. Will's heading off to do a movie and Matt's literally doing that first thing so we decided to chat...

This week in the elevator, we’re getting a whole bunch of gangs back together.
