"They've gone and done it. The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are giving noted filmmaker Brian DePalma a final chance to impress them, so each of the guys has selected a DePalma film to review and ask, once and for all, is it time to put the nails in the coffin when it comes to ever watching more DePalma movies?

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are once again exploring the fertile terrain of failed TV pilots to combine with the renewed TV project "The Void" that Ben heped craft in 2022 during the "Star Trek-ify" series of podcasts. This episode looks at two portentious dramatic pilots, 1995's "White Dwarf" starring Neal McDonough as a doctor on an alien planet divided into light and dark sides, and 2001's "Ice Planet" with a crew stranded on an alien planet on the other side of space.

Episode 408 includes:

-R.I.P. Dabney Coleman and Morgan Spurlock

-"The Fall Guy" is a fun celebration of summer blockbusters and the people who make them. 

-"If" is a frustrating family film that doesn't quite know what it wants to be.

-Jerry Seinfeld's "Unforsted" is a bizarre novelty that leaves the guys baffled.

-TV Pilot Graveyard VII (Ice Planet, White Dwarf)

-The guys discuss the many ways both of these sci-fi pilots disappointed them and bored them, starting with "Ice Planet" and concluding with the truly inept and strange "White Dwarf," which was brought to us ourtesy of the same creator of "Wild Palms," the incomprehensible "Twin Peaks"-style ripoff show from the early 90s. 

This is the infamous movie that began a pause in the "Saturday Night Jive" podcast many months ago, and now you can hear George and Ben try and make sense of this 1999 Gary Marshall romantic drama that asks the question, "Can two mentally impaired adults fall in love and live on their own?" The obvious cringe factor is addressed as well as points of controversy as how the movie deals with its representation of its characters, their conditions, and the impact it places on their middle class families.

It's part two of the last episode and now the "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are getting deep into the weeds for "The Void," the sci-fi TV pilot that they developed and worked on the podcast in the fall of 2022. The series is described  as "star Trek with Lovecraftian monsters," and the guys go through the key characters, events, and mysteries of the pilot episode as they preview themes and sotrylines for the rest of season one and work through other creative points to finetune and explore in this first and important beginning episode.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" have gone back to an older project they shepherded earlier on the podcast, "the Void," a sci-fi TV series Ben began developing in the vein of "star Trek" meets Lovecraftian horror. It was the inspiration for the 2022 "Star Trek-ify" episodes, and now the guys are trying to work through what Ben has roposed as the multiple seasons of this project. But first, the guys will discuss new movies as well as a trio of sci-fi pilots all linked to "star Trek" imitators, the 1967 BBC "Solornauts," "Boldly Going Nowhere" from the "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creators, and as a bonus, the dramatic conent of a 1999 "Star Trek" porn parody (link is SFW edit) that, shockingly, is actually pretty faithful and reverent and well-regarded by fans.

Episode 406 incudes:

-Quentin Tarantino cancels his next last movie. Maybe. 

-Trailer reactions to "Trap" and "Mufasa." 

-"Rebel Moon Part 2" is finally here and it was not worth the wait or the first movie. 

-Ben sings the praises of "Boy Kills World" for its inventive action and attitude. 

-TV Pilots-- "The Solornauts" / "Boldly Going Nowhere"

-The 1967 "Solornauts" is a goofy proof of concept that has so little to offer besides as a time capsule. The "Boldly Going Nowhere" has some funny moments but also feels under-developed as far as being a "Star Trek" parody or homage. "The Orville" it is not.

-Bonus discussion over the "fan film" of "star Trek" which is really a safely edited 24-minute version of the 1999 adult film paordy, and yet it's by far the best written and most successful homage of them all.
