Messed Up Movies

Movie Pitch Battle!

September 11, 2026·1h 8m
Episode Description from the Publisher

One actor. One director. One existing franchise. One wild card. Who can build the Messed Up Movie you'd most want to see? We're practicing our best Hollywood pitch for our dream movies we'd love to make real. In this new kind of draft, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia draft battle over who's movie would make the best blockbuster. On the imaginary release calendar: • Yorgos Lanthimos tackles Batman: The Killing Joke. • Guillermo del Toro reinvents A Nightmare on Elm Street with Robert Pattinson as Freddy. • Nicolas Cage and Willem Dafoe enter Lars von Trier's Hellraiser. • Rob Zombie takes Mia Goth into From Dusk Till Dawn, fueled by an all-Aerosmith soundtrack. All four movies open on the same Friday. Which one gets your ticket? Vote in the comments, then give us YOUR four picks: actor, director, IP and wild card. Want another Pitch Your Movie episode?
