Guillermo del Toro and Steven Spielberg – two titans of the science fiction/fantasy genres. What is there to say about Guilly and Steve that hasn’t been said already? They’ve won every award under the sun and captivated generations of filmgoers with their stylish and (mostly) accessible brands of movie magic through the years. One thing they haven’t done, however, is serve as the direct inspiration for an episode of Pitch Hunt. Tod...

Sequels are a dime a dozen these days. Every movie that promises to turn a profit in Hollywood is guaranteed to be greenlit for at least a cool half dozen followups before the original even hits theaters. They’ve become such a ubiquitous part of the modern film landscape that it’s bigger news if a successful movie doesn’t get a sequel than if it does. Here at Pitch Hunt we are frankly sick and tired of seeing sequel after sequel cl...

One last job and you’re set for life. No red-blooded cinephile has ever walked out of a heist movie without considering how sugary sweet it would be to make several lifetimes worth of dough in one elaborately planned night of good old fashioned crookery. In a world filled to the brim with get-rich-quick schemes and dubious investment opportunities, nothing captures the imagination quite like a slick, stylish heist flick. This week ...

From the very earliest days of American cinema to the present, nothing has captured the imagination of city-slickers and country folk alike quite like a story set in a romanticized version of the Old West. From gold prospecting to cattle rustling, train robberies to the systematic destruction of the lives and societies of indigenous peoples, Westerns are about as quintessentially American as it gets. On this week’s Pitch Hunt, the ...

Human vs. Nature. Nature vs. Human. Human vs. Human??? However you slice it, the struggle to survive – pitting humanity against the many forces of the world – has both captured the mind and caused untold strife throughout history. Accordingly, stories about that struggle have long been mainstays of the silver screen. After all, what is being human but the eternal and essential urge to fight back against the inexorable forces of nat...

Is the Loch Ness Monster real? Do herds of jackalope roam the plains of the American west? Can you meet the wily chupacabra? The answer to all of these questions is, of course, a resounding yes. What do all these things have in common? It’s obvious to many, but for those fools not in the know, they are all popular examples of Cryptids, animals that are claimed to be real but whose whereabobuts have never been precisely ascertained....

If you’re like much of humanity, video games have played a major role in maintaining your sanity over the last 3 months or so. Probably longer. There are many ways to experience these games, and many directions you can go with them. You might be looking for an adventure. Maybe you want to challenge yourself from the safety of your living room. Or perhaps you just need to let out some pent-up aggression and rage. Whatever the case m...

Moles are defined by Webster’s Dictionary as one of three things: A small burrowing insectivorous mammal with dark velvety fur, a long muzzle, and very small eyes. A small, often slightly raised blemish on the skin made dark by a high concentration of melanin. A spy who achieves over a long period an important position within the security defenses of a country. Our special guest on this episode of Pitch Hunt doesn’t neatly fit unde...

Food, glorious food. Without food, there would be no films. Without films, there would be no Pitch Hunt. By the transitive property, all of the good things in life can be traced back to humble grub. Moreover, Hollywood’s love affair with tasty fare can be traced all the way back to its humble beginnings. From the eggs in Cool Hand Luke to the mashed taters in Close Encounters, from the steamy spaghetti smooch in Lady and the Tramp ...

The 1980’s were a banner age for comedy, so much so that the decade is widely considered to be the “golden age of comedy”. From Caddyshack to Ghostbusters to The Goonies, each year churned out more classic funfests than perhaps any other time in cinema history. Though many directors were in their heyday during these goofy times, there was a trio that utilized a consistently effective formula of rapid-fire jokes, slapstick setpieces...

In the quarter of a century since the release of their debut feature Toy Story, Pixar has created an astonishing number classic family films: Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, The Good Dinosaur — just to name a few. Though a large part of what makes those films timeless is the beautiful animation style that brings their vibrant characters to life, the stories are almost without exception both profound and deeply intimate.

Tom Cruise. Incredible danger. Breathtaking set pieces. A rotating yet consistently intrepid team of sidekicks. The M:I cinematic universe has been consistently thrilling and delighting fans for over two decades, yet has the distinction of being perhaps the only action franchise in which each successive movie has not only escalated the stakes but genuinely improved in quality. In pitching a followup to perhaps the greatest action/a...
