I worked on IT and you would not believe how many conversations in my life went exactly like the start of this video

[@chandrasekharpalepu1379]

So, what movie did you work on? Like what was the name of it?

[@chandrasekharpalepu1379]

Or did you work on Information Technology?

[@BrandonTylerGoogle]

I work in IT too!

[@Holyrelic1279]

What on IT did you work on?

[@BTAxistube]

What? What did you work on?

[@MoffMuppet]

To me, Stephen King writing the sewer scene isn’t half as weird as the fact that his editors and publishers had to read through the book and go ”yeah, let’s keep that in”.

[@SeaBeast4Life]

I like to think none of his editors actually read it, it's a really long book and pretty much everything King wrote was gold so just publish it, it'll be fine.

[@rosa104]

THANK YOU! I've been waiting for someone else to say this!!!

[@ericpode6095]

​@@SeaBeast4Lifesuper easy, hardly an inconvenience......

[@sexydictator3241]

​@@SeaBeast4LifeI'm sure they skimmed the book or something. 😂

[@komali2]

King's editors didn't really have much control over him especially in the 90s cause he was like, the world's most popular author ever. Like in terms of books sold he's one of the most prolific authors in human history. And he was already getting movie and TV deals and was basically a writing god. It's kinda like how people weren't able to tell George Lucas "no" after the original trilogy so the second trilogy was way worse. Except Stephen King is actually a really good author so it doesn't manifest as poorly. Dude just can't write an ending to save his life. It's almost beautiful how terrible his endings are considering how phenomenal his world building, characterization, and horror setting is.

[@MattsOffRoadRecovery]

Older movies, new punchline at the end. We need this. You can do this.

[@guaposneeze]

Also, Screenrant does have some articles mentioning old movies. Fore example, "Lawrence of Arabia Has a Forgotten Sequel Starring Ralph Fiennes" is an actual article on Screen Rant. But yeah, the audience will be happy with whatever button for the old movies.

[@noahyes]

totally worth changing the graphic to be able to enjoy your takes on classics! plus it might get a few people interested in watching some older movies.

[@Peoe500]

No way Matt!! I just took a break from 2+ hours of your content. This is crazy that my two favourite channels are now connected in this world of KZbin!

[@rashadfoux6927]

Oooh! If you do older movies, make the article look like it's from that era. It'd be cool to see the whole "Spinning newspaper into the camera frame" as an ending screen instead.

[@Cartman4wesome]

Best suggestion I’ve read so far

[@BRADYLIV]

He actually does that

[@ZAMinationProductions]

Would be SO down with a new end gag so you can cover older movies! SO much untapped content to pitch!

[@LordDraTz81]

Heck, you could have a seperate end gag for the movies that are older. Divide it up between newer and older.

[@KArchine]

People get up voting!

[@cooolsimon282]

Yeah I didn't even realise that was the reason he was limiting his film choices, the article at the end accounts for about 4% of my enjoyment of the pitch meetings. We want Alien pitch meeting

[@xSinisterKidx]

I think he WANTS to include ScreenRant since they're the ones that pay him

[@iforgotmyusernamedude]

I think just a real quote or just a real headline with the source in description ya know, I always felt the realness of the final punchlines made em that much funnier

[@JAAAY62]

If you change the end to a fake newspaper or nothing at all, that's all fine. I would just love to see you cover older movies!

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

Ryan could do one of those spinning images of a half-folded newspaper that were popular in older movies, and then have it pop up with some headline or review about the movie from that period. And make sure the paper always includes a secondary article about "New petitions against tax".

[@Treadswax]

Just find an old review or something about the actors from around that time and do the same joke stinger as the current screen rant articles are used for. Then it still has that what people actually wrote about it punch line.

[@patrickmcevoy5080]

YES to the classic movie pitch meetings! I can only imagine that you'd figure out the smash-cut punchlines by doing something brilliant. That's the sort of faith I have in you, Ryan.

For older movies I'd love to see pitch meetings for them. You can end with the original movie poster. You're well written pitches are all the punchline we need.

[@shia_labeouf]

Just went and watched that Abbott and Costello bit and, my god, you're right. That is incredible. Just when you think the joke's run its course, they switch it up. Sublime

[@macrobeats1914]

I would love to see you do pitch meetings for older movies. And as you pointed out earlier in the video: You can do whatever you want. So the thing with the missing article on screenrant isn't problematic, I'd say.

[@jayNOEL21]

This ^^^

[@dudekazoo]

Fully agree.

[@countluke2334]

Screw Screenrant anyway. Or ask them to do a series on classic movies for you. People will read the article after they see the pitch meeting.

[@Jumpyfoot]

Yeah, I feel like you could cut to a Rotten Tomatoes review, that would be just as well.

[@manofacertainrage856]

You'd actually be able to make fun of good movies on a more frequent basis.

[@jim2lane]

A smash cut to a retro newspaper article/review of a classic movie would be awesome. Those are a lot easier to find and reference these days than they were just 5-10 years ago

[@annahappen7036]

I agree!

[@HollowPlane]

And because it's so old, you can have the beginning be "This is an article I wrote about a movie for you to read I decided."

[@michaeldeighton323]

Yeah, he could just do some kind of hokey sepia filter just to make it clear. Even have a tagline in the video title, like "Pitch Meeting - Classics". He could have so much fun with the background and costumes too, now that I think about it.

[@theeverhum7802]

I'm pretty sure that would be an issue for Screen Rant.

[@joshuawestfall9982]

Exactly the move I was coming here to endorse

[@onemansopinion8135]

I would absolutely love pitch meetings for older movies. I imagine some in black and white with typewriters in the background. I also imagine a run of episodes with films where the writer and the producer is the same person, like George Lucas, who sits by himself pitching the film to himself.

[@heavyecho1]

Writer George: We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little Producer. Wicked. Tricksy. False. Producer George: No. Not Producer. Writer George: Yes, precious. False. They will cheat you, hurt you, lie! Producer George: writer is my friend. Writer George: You don't have any friends. Nobody likes you.

[@dustinlarkin8582]

You could literally do any content Ryan. We're here for it.

[@jamaldowner]

I think a headline about the movie from ANY era would be fun. Actually, the more obscure, the better.

[@MrPootzen]

[@LMacNeill]

Ryan George doing, essentially, "Who's on First" with himself is definitely the comedy I didn't know I needed. 😂

[@totallyrandomofficial]

you 'suspended yourself for 2 weeks and kept all the money'... this is just such a hidden diamond, even in a revisited video. Pure comedy gold. I've watched all the Pitch Meetings 3 or 4 times already. Never fail to make me laugh.

[@elliotschnabel8364]

Hey Ryan, your pitch meetings are TIGHT! Here's a question (I'm sorry if someone has asked this before): Do you ever regret not mentioning something in a pitch meeting (like certain production notes or plot holes)?

[@lonjohnson5161]

Yes to classic movie pitch meetings. Try anything for the final gag; even if it takes a few tries to get it right, we'll be here.

[@DrakeBarrow]

Absolutely YES for the classic movie Pitch Meetings! If you can't do a end stinger that satisfies you, don't worry about it too much - we mostly come here for the meeting itself, and the Screen Rant punchline is a bonus. Just do what works for you. I appreciate that you used a picture of A'Tun from Discworld for the Turtle reference, BTW. Also, I just figured out that the bronchitis diagnosis is scary because you have to talk a lot for your work, so you layered in some nuance in the humor.

[@jamesmck896]

[@lebrown5075]

I'm sure you can find articles critical of classic movies, maybe not from screenrant but who cares, think of a criticism of that movie and search it, i'm sure something will come up, the internet is full of people whining about everything!

[@azahel542]

Yeah, just call it Pitch Meeting Classic and change the bit in the end.

[@alkra4798]

Great pitch meeting! For the Wizard of Oz, all I can think of is “I can’t imagine this movie being remade” then *newspaper pops up saying ‘The Wiz slated to premiere 1978’*

[@sarkrex3212]

You could totally do classic movies. You could dress the characters up in period clothes (budget and availability permitting), make the image look time appropriate, and even if you made up headlines for the end, they could be commenting on the movie itself, the time period, and people who worked on it. It could be a built up through the Pitch Meeting. You should try it!

[@redgreen2453]

As impressive as it is to know that screenrant doesn’t make you do the article punchline at the end yet you’re still committed to doing it and it really does make me respect the gag more, in my unfiltered opinion: it’s the least important part of the pitch meeting experience and that includes the bulging eyes in the thumbnails

[@hayleypinto1428]

Commenting just to say that pitch meetings for older movies / classics is something that I’ve been wanting for years. Would be very cool to see

Loving this peek behind the curtains of your process. And honestly, I think It'd be perfectly fine if you had a different schtick for vintage movies that weren't the article stingers at the end. I'm sure old movies would have some kind of weird trivia to tag on at the end in some creative fashion. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

[@DownWithLogic]

You know I like the idea of you doing some older movies even without the real article! You could write your own punchline, or even convince ScreenRant to do a "Top 10 classics you need to watch"

[@youjustlostthegame4418]

Would love for you to start doing classic movies! I'll gladly sacrifice the final screen rant article gag for a whole pitch meeting of older films. I don't have an idea of what you could replace it with but literally anything is fine! We just want pitch meetings of more movies, especially ones that came out before you started doing this amazing series

[@AprehamLincoln]

I love these revisited videos! And YES I'd be totally fine with you doing whatever needs to be done to allow you to do pitch meetings for older movies. There is an absolute gold mind of cinema that would be perfect for this channel.

[@maason1379]

Imma be honest, it was fun hating on Disney movies, but now they're so repetitive even making fun of them is not fun anymore. Bring on the classics! Screen Rant should write articles to accomodate Pitch Meeting :)

I would love old movies. Maybe finding an old archive journal article for the punchline could work

[@joeladams7896]

Probably my favourite “revisited” yet, thanks Ryan. Huge huge fan of your work. YES I’d be thrilled to see you look at classic movies even if it meant some different kind of button on the end of the scene, and yes please bring back “get off’f that thing”! Please keep up the awesome work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@madalinam6183]

I like that you do the ScreenRant headline at the end because it feels to me like a way of giving back to the channel that helped you grow. I actually rarely watch it or read their articles but I think it's nice you have that. I'd love it if you cover movies that SR doesn't have articles about because I love your Pitch Meetings. It might be a good idea for SR to create content about stuff that's not making headlines now. They do lists and rankings, so they might consider using your awesome series to reach an audience that's not all about what's hot right at this moment. If you come up with another idea, like fake news or simply change the last part of the format, I'm sure I'll love it. I love your sense of humor and your recently confessed compulsion to make sure you don't make mistakes. So, I (and I'm sure it's not just me) trust you to come up with something awesome. Yay for the promised return of "let me get off that thing".

[@NASkeywest]

I think this channel Is part of screen rant still

[@madalinam6183]

@NASkeywest I think so, too. He mentioned it on another revisited Pitch Meeting. But in this video, he says he can change the format, so I assumed they must give him a lot of creative freedom.

[@markfisher2683]

Btw- You really have improved/energized your characters in a great way, over the years. They’re border line “unhinged “, which I would think you’d have to be to come up with the utter crap they put out these days! Keep up the great, hilarious work- and continued success to you;)!

[@jkta97]

The best description of those two characters is "permasmile psychopaths" (from the "Honest Trailer" for "Pitch Meeting."

[@grim4this]

While I cannot say your acting was bad, it is amazing how much better you portray these characters in your newer stuff. It reminds me of any start trek series the first few episodes you find yourself thinking wow, these people can't act and about 4 or 5 episodes in they play the characters well.

[@thomasjeppesen3055]

The worst thing about the orgy scene is it happens near the end of the book. Despite what people who haven’t read the book might think the story isn’t split into two halves like the movies and the miniseries. The two time periods run parallel to each other and constantly switched back and forth between 1958 and 1985. So both confrontations with it happens back to back and the orgy happens right after they defeat him in 1958. So it really sits with the reader once you finish it.

@@PixlyPenguin I once heard somewhere that it is meant as the payoff to Beverly’s character arc. For the whole book her sexuality is being oppressed by her father but this is finally the moment where she takes control and offer herself to the others. So it’s kind of an empowering moment for her - although I found Kings need to describe the size of each of the boys very distracting. I’ve noticed King has a tendency to really describe what’s going on in the male characters pants, also in many og his other books.

[@amarx6248]

I love these "revisited" episodes. It helps us understand how Ryan's crazy, intellectual, comedic mind comes to be. Also, it doesn't matter if the article is there at the end of the video. We just want to see you ruin our favourite movies. Haha. Peace and love, my dude.

[@mahmga1]

Definitely should be doing "pitch meeting classics", then you can do a different format, which could be a real historical article..or something entirely unique.. I'd love to see these.

[@billyrayphillips]

Really been enjoying these revisits to previous Pitch Meetings.

[@Tardisntimbits]

You could always use actual newspaper articles and lean into the antiquity of it by changing the colour grade of the episode to suit the era the film was made (in addition to any costume changes). It would be extra work...but between internet archives and libraries it could be possible? But making a fake website or newspaper sound acceptablw, I'd love to see you cover all manner of classic movies that predate the internet era!

[@AChannelThatDoesNothing]

Agreed. I think it would be good if he used non-screenrant but real articles. Plus, he already did a pitch meeting for the original Dumbo, and he made that black and white, so he has experience (and of course, experience in replacing that computer in the back with a typewriter).

[@Naranek]

I have a weird confession to make, which is kinda the greatest compliment I can make at the same time. Most days when I can‘t sleep, I watch pitch meeting and keep it running for the whole night. There is just something soothing and pure to this format.

[@dicknock3711]

I totally get you. There is no loud or annoying voices so you can sleep pretty easy, the jokes are very good, and just it's all calm. I don't do it but I get it.

[@mac24seven]

Absolutely would love old movie pitch meetings!!!! Maybe it's not screen rant at the end, but maybe an old random article regarding the movie.

[@icarris1]

Pitch Meeting - Classics. As a "Classic" it sets it apart from post screen rant movies. this gives you the ability to change the format to fit the era before screen rant. You can keep everything you do normally or even in the period correct fashion for the time of the film. instead of a screen rant article, you could: use an actual article from time; bloopers/outtakes/behind the scenes stuff from the movie; some interesting true facts about the movie/actors/making of/ etc.; funny edited clips from the movie; there's a lot that can be done here without the restraints of being a SC article. Love your content and look forward to future episodes!

[@TheSentinel909]

[@strawbarry7834]

It's so weird, I read the book as a kid back in the early 80's and remember that the whole "kids orgy" thing didn't really phase me at the time. I guess so much weird stuff had happened already in the book that it was just one more weird thing. But then I completely erased it from my memory and decades later when it was brought up I was like "Oh man, that's just...messed up." Definitely a combination of drugs and King's background living through the free-love 60's.

[@morecowbell69]

I read it in about 1990, and the kids orgy didn't bother me either. It was certainly a weird page-and-half, but we were already well into the typical disjointed fever dream of a Stephen King story climax (giggity). I imagine him writing that at 3:00 AM, at the peak of a serious cocaine bender, and believing it was the most touching, beautiful scene he'd ever written.

[@gavinrad1]

Or maybe King is just a gross creep.

[@PhilBagels]

He was right though. People were less sensitive about child sexuality prior to the McMartin Preschool scandal.

[@Redmenace96]

IT was the last SK book I read, for about 20 years. It was so god-awful long, with so much pointless detail and rambling. He lost me. At the end, I was skipping whole pages of description just to get to plot points so I could tell how it ends. Hit the sex part, and said, "Wha....??" Wasn't offended, just put it down as a pointless exploration of "bonding"? Thought it was really dumb, had nothing to do with the story except SK's neourosis. Was that book 1000 pages?

[@tgguitarguy]

There's one mistake that every movie satire channel misses in Spider-Man 2. Pitch Meeting, Cinemasins, and probably Honest Trailers all make a joke about why Peter doesn't explain what happened to Harry's father when Harry confronts him about it. And the reason is because at that point in time, Harry didn't know his father was The Green Goblin, and Norman said "Don't Tell Harry" right before he died. And so that's why Peter doesn't explain what happened and instead just says "There's bigger things happening here than you and me." It's not until after that scene that Harry finds the lair. So many people don't pick up on that.

[@soundcerebellum]

For the older movies the end could just be the same style cut to a magazine or news article on the movie that shares something unexpected. It could be news from any source, and any time since the movie's release. Might not be as difficult as you initially thought. I'd love to see older movie pitches.

It would be so interesting to see what you do with classic movies. Don't let that part of the formula hold you back.

IMHO the funniest pitch meetings are the ones about movies I saw and then realising funny or stupid stuff I missed.

I don't get why people even ask for that.

If you made your own end gag for older movies, it should be something that fits each period, like a newspaper for oldest movies, maybe a news broadcast that looks like it was filled in 1985, or whatever fits well with the movie/joke you're going for.

Thank you for making content that makes us laugh and smile and providing us with your own unique comedy.

Two questions, well three: 1. Has any company ever reached out to you or screen rant about any of your pitch meetings? 2. Do you do less pitches for series for a specific reason? 3.

Given the existence of the cosmic turtle in the book, I love the idea of IT being one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles even more. Also, I still remember the popularity of TMNT in the 80’s/90’s and articles about how children were finding their way into the sewers so they could look for the TMNT (and then probably getting lost). So IT being a TMNT is very believable.

Some of these line deliveries are cracking me up. “I don’t know.” And the “Oh so he’s like… really doing this.” line got me good.

[@Stephen_The_Waxing_Lyricist]

Love the Pitch Meetings! Here's a question for you: What was the most painful film you watched for Pitch Meeting and how many times did you force yourself to watch it? I'm guessing the Star Wars Holiday Special

[@Quetzal00358]

I'm guessing CATS or Velma

[@libertyordeath1211]

Don’t forget he did one on cats

[@bulldawgslays3724]

Tv show wise Velma or she hulk probably

[@khonshugodofthenightsky2159]

​@@bulldawgslays3724It almost killed me to watch She Hulk once, I don't know how he watched it repeatedly to make the Pitch Meeting.

[@Arawn2020]

The final season of Game of Thrones must've been a very disappointing and frustrating watch, I believe he was a fan of the show (or at least, was watching it outside of Pitch Meetings)

[@Oveewankenobi]

Love his “I’m rewatching “it”” it fits so well

[@GreenFalcon926]

It sure was.

[@lrrroftheplanetomicronpersei8]

@@GreenFalcon926 What was?

[@ericlondon5731]

I have enjoyed the extra pitch meeting characters you sometimes add in.

[@robote7679]

The post pitch background stuff is delightful!

[@kriscastille1030]

Hell yeah I would watch a pitch meeting for classics. I’d love to see one for The Princess Bride, or Labyrinth, or Howard The Duck, etc. Very much looking forward to this

[@NeliaMTulik-nc2ht]

Howard the Duck has a Pitch Meeting! Bonus for your day, my friend.

[@jonnnnniej]

I would love a Labyrinth Pitch Meeting! So many memories, but such a weird movie haha

[@hellojari07]

been waiting for Princess Bride. let me add Gremlins, Ghostbuster, Uncle Buck, Train, Planes and auto, Willow, Indiana Jones, Annie, Splash, Goonies...

[@craventiger]

The intro to this skit kills me every time, I love it.

[@Zift_Ylrhavic_Resfear]

Thanks for the video :)

[@TiminyCrickets]

You are the boss of these videos Not the other way around. You don’t have to be hamstrung by the ending gag. Could just have a still image about the video you just covered and no joke.

[@wbmac1958]

If you did The Wizard of Oz you'd have a chance to dress in period costumes, the office could be Art Deco, and you could have a spinning newspaper effect. And it could be in sepia tones. Probably someone has already suggested this, but I'm not reading all 318 comments to verify that.

[@MrPootzen]

Wizard of Oz is a great one because he could also talk about how much abuse the actors were put through.

[@E3Rappa]

I feel that the edited newspapers or fake headlines would go over well if it was obvious enough, but that little bit at the end about your finger was hilarious. You’re a funny dude Ryan. Keep it up!

[@Hayoken]

The finger bit got me to. Love Ryans humor. absolutely brightens my day

[@yalm1410]

Thank you for sticking to what you first said and calling out the fact that it's at the very least weird.

[@kokokretin]

I really love the revisited series

[@jackforest8084]

Being early is super easy, barely an inconvenience!

[@jackgoodman6484]

Yes Ryan, I'd love to see you do Pitch Meetings for classic films like Lawrence of Arabia, and wouldn't mind at all that doing so would necessitate scrapping your usual ending format for those particular videos!!! I think it'd be awesome to see.

[@giorgostriantafyllopoulos7561]

Hi Ryan! ❤ Long time fan here and I really wanted to first thank you for your hard work, all these years, to bring us so much joy every week! Also, I have a question: Do studios have to allow you to use clips from their movies? How does that work? Because I noticed that some videos have less or almost no clips from the movie!

[@TheBlueHawaiian]

I'm home sick with bronchitis right now so this revisited pitch meeting spoke to me in new ways. Thank you.

[@Sans-Mot]

I think everybody will be totaly okay if you make something else to finish an episode if it means you could cover any older movie. Your work is amazing, I don't watch Pitch Meetings waiting impatiently to see a ScreenRant article :)

[@guitarmatricide4834]

PLEASE do Pitch Meetings for classic movies!!! Pleeeeease! It can be my early Christmas present this year! 😄

[@JustAnotherLight]

lol you're so funny and feedback oriented. pls keep being creative as always!

[@1Mutton1]

Hey, I like the fact your humanizing this whole endeavour.......the whole thing is Afterall a work in progress

[@Tabby_Angela]

Would love to see a pitch meeting for 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, San Andreas, or basically any disaster movie 😂

[@tmelir19]

One for day after tomorrow would be great, especially as the 3 day trek was absolutely pointless

[@javiermorales1506]

For the ending gag with older movies, a collection of articles from the respective era could work or come up with a sarcastic headline that would fit the social culture of the time against ours.

[@Michsomething]

Love both the Pitch Meetings and the Revisited ones. Would also love seeing older movies as well. Would be interesting to see if they have some of the same issues as newer movies.

[@jdoggfivethousand]

Love your videos! Please do a pitch meeting for Southland Tales!!! It'll be super easy! Barely an inconvenience. I am going to comment this for as long as you make these, until you make it. I will never give up. This is my forty-seventh attempt.
