The Amazing Randi was a magician and skeptic who's career spanned nearly 5 decades. His main draw being the one million dollar prize to anyone who could proof beyond a reasonable doubt the afterlife and paranormal evidence exists. No one ever claimed that prize. Let's put together a political satire under the guise of con man tricking the nation, shall we?

In the early 16th century, mainly during the reign of King Henry VIII, the Lord of Misrule was in charge of most Christmas decorations and pageantry, and they took their job quite seriously. So we decided to pitch a period comedy based around King Henry and his lust for the perfect wife...Merry Christmas, we guess? Hope you have a great holiday and enjoy the episode!

Jack the Ripper, one of the most infamous unsolved mysteries of all time. To this day, no one knows who the killer truly was. Sure, everyone has theories. In fact, we're going to get into one today. This story is not about The Ripper, per say. This story is about one of the suspects in the case...Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, whom you may know better as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Let's take this weird suspected theory and turn it into an 1880's murder mystery/whodunit, shall we?

Throughout the 2000's and 2010's the company Theranos defrauded hundreds of thousands of people and made millions of dollars. Elizabeth Holmes is about to stand trial for the fraudulent charges. This is a serious story that deserves media attention. But we're going to pitch a movie about it with some vintage 80's feel to it.

Earlier this summer two Cape Town police officers lost an apprehended suspect and did what they thought was best...which was to kidnap a homeless person and pretend they were the suspect all along. What could go wrong? Well Rob & Nick answer that question themselves with this new pitch. Part travel comedy, part corrupt cop, all mayhem. Enjoy!

Benito Mussolini, you know the one, the dictator. But did you know he wrote a trashy, dime store, romance novel prior to his rise to power? The critics had some harsh words for it. As do we, because we're going to turn this into a Charlie Chaplin/Inglourious Basterds style alternate history comedy. Because wouldn't you? I mean, come on. Right?
