The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are ready to leap into the jungle with 1984's hit "Romancing the Stone," a movie that spawned its own rom-com subgenre, and then the little remembered 2009 film "Inkheart," starring Brendan Frasier and Paul Bettany, about a family with the power to open portals in and out of literature.

Episode 354 includes:

-R.I.P. Bernard Cribbins, Donna Noble's grandfather on "Doctor Who."

-Does the ongoing chaos in project cancelation at Warner Bros Discovery make it more or less likely Ezra Miller's "Flash" get yanked?

-"Prey" is a high-quality Predator prequel that packs a punch.

-Switch the Pitch -- "Romancing the Stone" / "Inkheart"

-The guys discuss the 1984 rom-com adventure by director Robert Zemeckis that isn't quite as it's remembered and then 2009's fantasy adventure "Inkheart" which fails from a lack of imagination for its imagination. The guys then combine both movies into a new project they pitch on the spot.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are once again delving into the hallowed film career of Orson Welles, Ben's "favorite director," and looking at another well-regarded classic, the last of his career in the Hollywood system, 1958's border thriller "Touch of Evil," and then they also discuss a 2017 unknown action thriller with Dave Bautista about America under assault from within by reactionary white supremacist forces (timely!).

Episode 353 includes:

-Lots of Marvel Comicon news! Also, DC might be melting down... again!

-R.I.P. Paul Sorvino, David Warner, and Nichelle Nichols.

-"Nope" is a pretty solid "yep"

-Netflix's $200-million "The Gray Man" is a dispiriting and bland action movie.

Switch the Pitch -- "Bushwick" / "Touch of Evil"

-The guys discuss the all-in-one-take urban warfare movie "Bushwick" starring Dave Bautista and Orson Welles' 1958 B-movie classic "Touch of Evil" with Charlton Heston as a Mexican-American and Janet Leigh in motel rooms being harassed yet again. After, the guys combine both movies into a new project and pitch it live.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are staring into the madness of 2017's "The Evil Within," a self-financed horror movie from a wealthy Getty scion before he died of a drug overdose, and then going back to Orson Welles with his last movie, completed near 30 years after his death and available on Netflix. Both are artistic visions that consumed their artists, finished after their demise, and both present an interesting discussion.

Episode 352 includes:

-R.I.P. James Caan, who we forgot to mention last episode.

-More "Halloween" and "Jeepers Creepers" we don't care about.

-"The Black Phone" is an enjoyable survival horror thriller with too many other kinds of movies competing for time.

-Switch the Pitch -- "The Evil Within" / "The Other Side of the Wind"

-The guys discuss at length (like 45+ minutes) about the final films for two artists finished years after their deaths. "The Evil Within" is a horror movie by Andrew Getty, and it's nightmarish and impressive and campy and crazy but works. "The Other Side of the Wind" was the movie Orson Welles tried completing for the last 15 years of his life, and it took an additional few decades to finally be completed by Netflix. The guys go into both movies problems, ambitions, artistic merits, and then combine into a new project sharing both of their key creative elements.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are examining Netflix's 2020 indie sci-fi thriller "Horse Girl" co-written and starring Alison Brie as a woman who thinks she may be abducted by aliens, and they're watching for the first time the supposed classic from 1974 "The Conversation," the Francis Ford Coppola movie he mad between the two "Godfathers"s.

Episode 351 includes:

-Me Too updates: David O. Russell, R. Kelly, and James Franco still bad humans

-Is there any realistic hope at all for Rob Zombie's "The Munsters"?

-"Jerry and Marge Go Large" is sweet and shockingly almost conflict-free.

-"Thor: Love and Thunder" has the right parts but is trying too hard to rekindle your memory of "Ragnarok."

-Switch the Pitch -- "Horse Girl" / "The Conversation"

-What exactly is 2020's "Horse Girl" really going for? Is 1974's "The Conversation" a victim of our sensibilities about a surveilance state and a conspiracy thriller moving beyond what it can do? The guys discuss their misgivings about both movies and then pitch a brand-new project combining elements from both movies.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are having a lengthy discussion over the appeal and nature of the "Star Trek" film canon, about David O. Russell's Me Too status, about popcorn ads, and about combining two films into a brand new creative project for this week's Switch the Pitch. Also, they discuss their old monthly sketch comedy show in 2007 when they were unknowingly the front for a local religious cult.

-Ben declares "Elvis" his favorite Baz Luhrman movie.

-Switch the Pitch -- "Memory Run" / "Fay Grim"

-The guys discuss the 1995 direct-to-video sci-fi action movie from a trans perspective and also Hal Hartley's 2006 "Fay Grim," a sequel to "Henry Fool" and a winky ironic satire of spy movies, and then the guys combine major elements into a new concept better than both.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" have returned from a recent power outage and are even more powerful than ever, or so they believe. The guys are watching two very different movies this week, 1944's "Double Indemnity" and 2016's "Shin Godzilla," to combine into a new project.

Available on Spotify and Apple

Episode 348 includes:

-The game of chicken that Ezra Miller continues playing with Warner Brothers takes a few new turns, also more MeToo news.

-Switch the Pitch -- "Double Indemnity" / "Shin Godzilla"

-The guys discuss the 2016 very talky, very in-the-weeds of government technospeak Godzilla movie, where it loses them, and then Billy Wilder's 1944 film noir classic that has less shine for Ben, and then they attempt to combine them into a new project about insurance fraud via giant monster destruction.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back at it with Switch the Pitch, where they watch two unrelated movies and then try and marry both of them into a new creative project. This time it's the 2013 Canadian ghost thriller "Hanter" combined with the hit meta 1995 comedy, "The Brady Bunch Movie."

Available on Apple and Spotify

Episode 347 includes:

-R.I.P. Ray Liotta

-Reactions to "Black Adam" trailer and Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation verdict.

-Ben has seen the horror that is the animated "Marmaduke" movie on Netflix.

-"Dual" leaves soemthing to be desired.

-Switch the Pitch -- "Haunter" / "Brady Bunch Movie"

-The 2013 ghostly thriller is a well-constructed and conceieved chiller, but the 1995 "Brady" movie is a one-joke irony time capsule for not just the 1970s but now the 1990s as well.
