I love how simply recounting the plot of the movie is the most damning criticism you could give the film XD no joke could be funnier than that screenplay
Since we do these revisits, I noticed one of the biggest differences (for me) is, how much more expression writer guy and studio executive have. They often use catchphrases still in place today but Ryan (and the other actor) mastered their delivery and expression. The lines are not as impactful in those earlier pitch meetings. One can clearly see how Ryan (and the other actor) improved over the years. Edit: and Im so happy he got rid of the shaky camera. On fullscreen it caused slight nausea.
Yep I noticed that too. And in the second half of these revisited sketches his delivery is so crisp. Pitch Meetings are one of the few series I can watch twice so this format is perfect seeing a Pitch again after so long and really getting into his thought process. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Yeah, Ryan has definitely upped his comedic IQ and irony skills since he did this pitch meeting. I mean just compare this one with The Flash pitch meeting.
Luthor coming up with a convoluted plot actually makes sense. That's how the minds of mad geniuses work. The character started out as a mad scientist in the comics. Gene Hackman's Luthor portrayed it that way too. The cold and calculative mob boss attitude developed later. Luthor's also criminally insane in BvS before a stay at Arkham helps him develop into the cold and calculative mob boss in JL Snyder Cut.
@@AshrafAnam more like my brain with your dumb shill logic I love how whenever people are offended, they go straight to calling others "kid", sign of insecurities behind the screen
Man, I remember the 100th episode of 'Pitch Meeting', where he joked about the graphic designer of the thumbnails and the reason he makes them all with googly-eyes. Pretty funny actually!
It's so crazy how much different the energy is in these old ones. Almost like a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. But the writing was so observant and funny that it held its own. But Pitch Meeting today is just pure fire. :D
Man, that "copy of a copy of a copy" line brought back a great Nine Inch Nails song for me, absolutely out of the blue, will go back to that album tomorrow, thanks!
@@saulspeaks2557Producer Guy has evolved the most. Originally, he was just plain Ryan talking, while Writer Guy was more of a character since early on. A consequence is that Producer Guy lost a bit of his initial role as "the voice of reason".
The amount of movie scripts that SO many executives, actors, etc have read that didn't pick up on how absolutely convoluted the plots were is staggering
I think at this point he's long ascended from that. I found him without knowing he originally started this working for screen rant and just saw random videos people sent me. He could do whatever he wanted career/comedy wise and people would still love him for being him.
Returning to older Pitch Meetings always makes me appreciate how much more, like, fluid and fast-paced these videos have gotten. The acting and the editing are a lot smoother nowadays.
I see your pitch meetings not as mockery of the movies but humoristic in the way all the things we see in the cinema actually sound very outlandish and quite funny. In liked the last of Transformers, knowing it is already a formula to entertain kids, although the ending battle was too long, and I enjoyed a lot your pitch meeting of it. I cannot unsee Endgame from it x,D
He didn't. They come from their respective suits (except Cyborg's, which is basically a C around a circle). That's what's brilliant and grounded about Snyder's world building. There's a why and how to everything.
@@streaming.tesIa.now.24on But only the circle. The thin C around the circle probably Lex's creativity. And I don't see anything wrong with it. A logo is the quickest way to identify an idea. That's what I love about DC...they have the most iconic logos and really emphasize on them. You don't need to say Superman or Batman or Aquaman or Flash, you just show the logo and everyone knows what you mean. Marvel really lacks that.
Surface level stuff like this really makes me wonder abut the level of Brainwashing in our society when it comes to what goes on with our politicians cause how do you watch one of our Elected Representatives giving a Rich Donor everything he wants only for the guy to then feed him a treat like he's a little doggy and just go "Hurh Hurh he made him eat candy"? Hell the fact that a guy like Lex has access to our politicians at all should give you pause.
You can really see the development in Ryan's skills in terms of emphasis and action thanks to these revisits. In the best way possible, this one feels like a fan trying to make a tribute to Pitch Meeting. (Because he's improved that much over the course of making them.)
Yeah his editing has gotten tighter, his line delivery has gotten better and perhaps most importantly, his shit-eating grin has gotten bigger and more shit-eating.
This is hilarious. I saw the movie in the theater, had NO idea what was going on, then went to sleep for the middle 2/3rds of it, and the only thing i remember is superman's funeral. Great stuff! Your pitch meetings are on the order of infinitely better than the movie they're about. Which is why you have to outlive me, because I'm going to need my Pitch Meetings.
I wish that Ryan just bald face recapped how absolutely stupid some movie plots are more often, but I get that it takes the viewer out of the world for a bit
I hope he brings back the graphic designer character with the giant eyes who makes the thumbnails. That was my favorite part of the 100th episode of pitch meeting where he pitches pitch meeting.
Watching young Ryan in this Pitch Meeting as both the producer and screenwriter is like watching young Mac and Dennis from _It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,_ specifically from when they're discussing their Dolph Lundgren scientist movie.
I don’t know why, but for some reason this video reminded me of your 100th pitch meeting. Specifically the scene where you claimed to have found a great graphics design guy to do your thumbnails and then showed a pic of that guy having massive googly eyes, I loved that bit! :D
I love your work Ryan, thanks for putting it out there! 😄 We're all our own worst critics though, like HONESTLY that dubbing on the flubbed line was entirely under the radar. I didn't notice a thing until you pointed it out, it was a fair fix if you ask me 🤷♂
Honestly, the "googly eyes" were the only factor that stopped me from watching my first Pitch Meeting. They just made me feel, I don't know... weird. I finally gave in several months later and haven't missed one since!
The actual reason is UA-camrs have found that in thumbnails people would look more attractive if their eyes were slightly edited to be a bit larger. I thought Ryan was parodying those by making it ridiculously large.
10:24 So cool, with the delivery of a hilarious visual gag in the 100th pitch meeting, Ryan went back and updated all the thumbnails to capitalize on the joke. Truly inspired.
I've loved Pitch Meeting from the word go, your hilarious over-blown cynicism and the brilliant irony with which it's delivered. It's fascinating to see someone with your talent explaining how these come together and looking at your own work with a critical eye rather than defending points where you feel you missed perfection. Keep up the good work!
The level of honesty and transparency is just so heatening. The bit about the fluffed audio and the background behind that little nuance is wonderful. So much respect for the honesty and I'm sure that this self-awareness keeps you humble and keeps the quality high, just love it.
I absolutely love the fact that cats is your favorite pitch meeting that you've done, because as much as I love all of your pitch meetings, that one is by far my favorite and the one that makes me laugh the hardest.
I think the revisits also show Ryan's depth and what he goes through to get a pitch meeting put together. Taking notes replaying probably endless loops of movies and that's just the stuff he shares. I wish some people that I work with had that kind of work ethic 🙂 keep up the good work. Young man. Big fan
Even you just describing the scene of you saying "Hey we got a new animator guy" [cuts to you with googly eyes] had me laughing just imagining it. Also makes me wonder, will you ever do a revisit to your pitch meeting of pitch meetings?
😄👍 The 100th episode is still one of my most favorite ones! Unfortunately it's not something easily shared with people who haven't watched any Pitch Meetings before!
You didn’t understand the movie and that’s okay.. you see it was a stylistic choice to make the characters uninteresting… Snyder brought these outdated characters into the modern world.
Hey Ryan, in a previous video, you mentioned that one of the reasons you don't do game or (many) TV show pitch meetings is because of the amount of content to consume and time involved. I wondered if you've ever considered working with larger teams to produce pitch meetings of those kinds, or whether you'd want to keep it a relatively solo venture. I think your work is amazing, and you bring a lot of joy ro my life. I hope your...everything... is going well. We all love your work!
I'd love you to do The Dark Tower- a book adaptation that tried to please fans of the story and those who'd not read it, and completely alienated both!
He could do "The Stand" or the original "It" series for the same feel, and that's just King stories (although honestly, the end of the Dark Tower series just annoyed me with King adding himself to the story, let alone picking again on the guy who hit him and killed himself over all the crap he took for hitting a guy walking on the wrong side of a country road)
@@metheus108 I liked that part of it. When taken in context of the greater King universe of novels and short stories, making himself a character really worked for me. I'm a huge fan though, so I might be biased. The movie was horrible, no two ways about it.
Dan Murrell (Current ScreenJunkies Movie Fights champion and 5-time former Movie Trivia Schmoedown champion) wrote out Luther's plan in bullet points when they scripted the Honest Trailer for the movie. He said it went on for pages and he had to cut a lot of it out for time when they listed in the final Honest Trailer. He's great, btw. You guys should collaborate on something.
Revisited is a brilliant idea, I was going to watch the meeting again anyways, getting the directors commentary as well is just a bonus! Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I’m just forever happy how you pointed out the ridiculousness of them completely stopping the fight because their mom had the same name. Pretty sure I laughed out loud in the movie theater and completely checked out at that point.😂😂😂 of the millions of options they had, someone really sat down in a producers office and let that get all the way to the big screen.. absolutely mind blowing.
I would love to see you do a Pitch Meeting for David Lynch's 'Dune', one of those movies where the good bits are awesome and the bad bits are super awful!
Just wanted to let you know that I have been using your catchphrases in everyday conversations 😂. For instance, if someone tells me they are sorry or that something will be difficult, I say "barely an inconvenience!". And if they tell me a story about someone I know, I say, " He's from the first movie!" It really freaks people out, and I love it! Thanks!
‘So then the Witch uses the space battery to send a bulldozer to kill Supergirl because she accidentally made the man fall in love with her. Why are you calling Security?’
Hey Ryan! Love your videos. I was wondering if you've ever felt pressured to do a Pitch Meeting for a certain movie that you didn't want to do? Or at least pressured into doing it by a certain time For example potentially feeling pressured to make a Pitch Meeting for a movie in the MCU while it's still in theaters instead of an "older" movie
I'm guessing it was the Twilight series. When he "breaks" character at the end, I got the feeling that was Ryan showing us those movies almost broke him lol
I actually have a suggestion for a pitch meeting revisited video: Hotel Transylvania. I especially loved the fun little gag about producer guy shutting his brain off, had me laughing for quite a while. Would love to see what you think of it now, keep these videos coming George Ray-On!
You should still add the wide eyed graphic designer character by dropping them in whenever there's questionable cgi and art direction and play it off as if they've always been a part of pitch meetings. To implement it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience
Ryan in Pitch Meetings has made me re-evaluate movies. I tried to watch Blade of The 47 Ronin and could not stop noticing how a character would say a line then *pause* another character would talk. Watching how Ryan has pulled this off made it so clear when there’s a bad director
In addition to all the nice words everyone says about you, Ryan (which are all true, by the way) - the fact that you leave in the special guest appearances by your cats is much appreciated, Ryan.
You know what would be a fun idea for a Pitch Meeting? You should do a Double Feature episode of Barbie and Oppenheimer when both hit theaters in 3 weeks!
So many options; 1) Double feature episode 2) Make both pitch meetings, then upload them under reversed titles & thumbnails 3) Make one really confusing pitch meeting for both at once
The main thing in notice when you revisit these old pitch meetings, is the lack of energy. Idk what that’s all about, but you’ve gotten so much better, Ryan. I don’t have a joke or reference, so, there ya go.
The whole idea for Batman v. Superman was inspired by Frank Miller's DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. But in DKR they'd known each other for years, they were old friends but there was also growing tension as they'd begun to follow different paths -- the stakes were so much higher. They didn't get tricked into fighting by some villain's idiot plan, and they didn't stop fighting for some idiot reason.
It is so cool that you found such an inspired graphic designer for your thumbnails. Pretty crazy that they make thumbnails look like themselves but I guess that's the world of UA-cam, everyone just kind of looks like different versions of themselves.
Watching this years later, it reminds me of early Simpsons, you know what you were watching is good, clever, just did not hit as hard and fast, but you stuck with it and it eventually it gets better and better. love the growth and development of these.. Always good!!
"So the movie can happen." has become my go-to answer whenever I'm watching a movie with someone and they're like "but why did character do dumb thing?" 😂 It honestly does help me get over bad/lazy bits of writing and let me just enjoy a film for what it is though.
I wonder if these videos are making actual studio executives feel like complete idiots. Because that's literally what these videos are doing and I love it😂
Fan question: do you ever watch a movie or tv show just for the fun of it, or do you only watch things to make a pitch meeting? Is there anything you were planning on pitch meetinging but changed your mind?
Mandella Effects are TIGHT! I'm so glad you shared that missed opportunity joke. I laughed my ass off. It is now headcanon. I will think of that guy every time I see one of your thumbnails. Lol.
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 thirtieth attempt.
@@ChineduOparaThe Hulk had a movie in the MCU though; it's just no one cared about it. Unless you meant when after Mark Ruffalo starter playing the MCU Hulk; the first MCU Hulk was Edward Norton before he got replaced.
@@Matthew-ve7uv While this is true, it never hurts to check, especially since the main difference is that there *is* a solo Hulk movie within the MCU yet it's *very* easy to forget it even exists. So I wouldn't blame anyone for just...not knowing it exists, especially when it pretty much never got referenced again beyond General Ross (R.I.P. William Hurt).
Hey Ryan, love the show! It's hilarious! Just curious if since you've been doing Pitch Meetings if you've been approached to do any comedic acting in a real TV show or movie?
What I notice is how much you improved your pitch meeting scene. This 2016 version is still kinda bland but your 2023 versions are oozing with showmanship and personality.
Ryan, did you ever ponder creating a pitch meeting (if I missed one I apologize) where the movie makes 100% sense and logic is honored? Producer Guy might suggest what he’s come to expect from Screenwriter Guy as wacky physics or dropped plot-points but it’s all actually cohesive and sensible? Your spin on something like this would be absolutely hilarious
I like the idea that there is only one screenwriter and one producer making almost every major movie in Hollywood.
Sounds accurate to me lol
That would explain so much for me lmao.
There are different screenwriters and producers, but in this universe, everybody has the same face. You can tell them apart by the clothes.
There are different universes! Mandalorian season 3 pitch meeting confirmed it with the side quest!
The actual people are surprisingly samey some of them
My favorite part of Civil War was when Iron Man e-mailed Captain America to tell him they were no longer friends.
Saaaame!!
No way! Same!
I can’t believe it I also love that scene
It's a core memory
Then they made up in endgame a few years later cause they remembered that both their best friends are named James
I love how simply recounting the plot of the movie is the most damning criticism you could give the film XD no joke could be funnier than that screenplay
It's like the honest trailer for Jupiter Ascending
I love this film
It challenges the plan of the Joker in the dark night in how improbable it was.
@@DMHR100That movie is so overrated lol. Like every other Christopher Nolan movie, it is only good to watch once.
@@GeronimoPlaz stop trying to be different and just enjoy shit bro
I still love the line "Marvel wishes they'd thought of an e-mail scene"

They've improved A LOT over the years. Acting/Timing is so good now.
Now if only we could get Zack Snyder to stop using shaky cam
This definitely reflects how far Ryan has come. This isn't a bad Pitch Meeting, but he's definitely gotten better.
Yeah, Ryan has definitely upped his comedic IQ and irony skills since he did this pitch meeting. I mean just compare this one with The Flash pitch meeting.
I kinda feel like people who are new to pitch meeting missed something by not seeing the evolution of Ryan
100% true
The “Lex Luthor plan explanation” was pure genius
Luthor coming up with a convoluted plot actually makes sense. That's how the minds of mad geniuses work. The character started out as a mad scientist in the comics. Gene Hackman's Luthor portrayed it that way too. The cold and calculative mob boss attitude developed later. Luthor's also criminally insane in BvS before a stay at Arkham helps him develop into the cold and calculative mob boss in JL Snyder Cut.

Holy crap, is that *the* Ryan George from the thing I'm currently watching? How Ryan can get such prominent guests never ceases to amaze me.
OK, that's seriously meta.
My favorite part of the 100th pitch meeting episode is when they cut to the new graphic designer with the giant eyes. Really explained the thumbnails.
Yes it totally happened, I remember it as if it were yesterday
What really sold it for me was the comedic foreshadowing in the previous video. Masterful way to pay it off...amazing!
Oh, the Mandela Effect is TIGHT!
Ryan must have re-uploaded that video and cut that part out, because I can't find it!!
Yeah I lol'd and thought oh boy that Ryan is so clever... when I watched the 100th the first time
i love how screenwriter guy and producer guy actually became more charismatic and enthusiasm more smiling all the time.
They are in love
It's all the money they made over the years with the crap they were schilling the audience 😂
I don't. Their perma-smiles are the stuff of nightmares!
Yeah, this was just Ryan talking for the most part. These days he acts a lot more, which helps raise the quality a lot
It's just like Epic Voice Guy said in the Honest Trailer of Pitch Meeting. From normal guys to perma-smiling psychopaths.

Yeah he really honed his craft.
It's hard to explain the difference, bit definitely has progressed.
And he's stopped doing the random floating background thing as well, which I'm really grateful for.

I wondered if you've ever considered working with larger teams to produce pitch meetings of those kinds, or whether you'd want to keep it a relatively solo venture. I think your work is amazing, and you bring a lot of joy ro my life.
I hope your...everything... is going well.
We all love your work!
I'd love you to do The Dark Tower- a book adaptation that tried to please fans of the story and those who'd not read it, and completely alienated both!
He could do "The Stand" or the original "It" series for the same feel, and that's just King stories (although honestly, the end of the Dark Tower series just annoyed me with King adding himself to the story, let alone picking again on the guy who hit him and killed himself over all the crap he took for hitting a guy walking on the wrong side of a country road)
@@metheus108 I liked that part of it. When taken in context of the greater King universe of novels and short stories, making himself a character really worked for me. I'm a huge fan though, so I might be biased.
The movie was horrible, no two ways about it.
There’s a weird lesson here, I think.
Give King to Ron Howard and you get that.
Give Star Wars to Ron Howard and you get Solo.
🤔
Love when a pitch meeting introduce more lore of the Ryanverse
Dan Murrell (Current ScreenJunkies Movie Fights champion and 5-time former Movie Trivia Schmoedown champion) wrote out Luther's plan in bullet points when they scripted the Honest Trailer for the movie.
He said it went on for pages and he had to cut a lot of it out for time when they listed in the final Honest Trailer.
He's great, btw. You guys should collaborate on something.
They did!! ua-cam.com/video/W8bQrTdgNSo/v-deo.html
Revisited is a brilliant idea, I was going to watch the meeting again anyways, getting the directors commentary as well is just a bonus! Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
You're awesome!!!
And so cool that you even discussed your own mistake in a video. You're hilarious AND transparent. Thank you for being you!!
I’m just forever happy how you pointed out the ridiculousness of them completely stopping the fight because their mom had the same name. Pretty sure I laughed out loud in the movie theater and completely checked out at that point.😂😂😂 of the millions of options they had, someone really sat down in a producers office and let that get all the way to the big screen.. absolutely mind blowing.
Batman came to the conclusion he was nothing more than the robber that killed his mother Martha (if he went and kill Superman...)
@@Apexapee then he went and killed everyone at the warehouse. great character development.
@@ashonethhat he could at least justify .
@@ashoneth He old, and tired of capturing thugs since they get released or freed anything from jail or Arkham
Hey it gave us some of the best DC memes ever.
One of my favourite pitch meetings 🎉🦇v🦸♂️
A rogue ‘u’ slipped in there.
Whoops. Whoopsie. 😂
@@TimTE01 British spellings are tight!!
I would love to see you do a Pitch Meeting for David Lynch's 'Dune', one of those movies where the good bits are awesome and the bad bits are super awful!
He usually pitches movies most of the audience has seen, and that's not one of them, unfortunately.
@@davidm5707 You'd be surprised of the amount of people that know about that movie
"Ohhh, almost forgetting important pieces of exposition is TIGHT!!"
it’s certainly a fun watch!
I love that art director guy that makes the thumbnails. 😳👍
Just wanted to let you know that I have been using your catchphrases in everyday conversations 😂. For instance, if someone tells me they are sorry or that something will be difficult, I say "barely an inconvenience!". And if they tell me a story about someone I know, I say, " He's from the first movie!" It really freaks people out, and I love it! Thanks!
Revisiting a pitch meeting is super easy, barely an inconvenience
Oh really?
@@onyilimba yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!
Dammit, every time when I watch a video, that "barly" pops in my head after that She-Hulk video! :D
it's pretty tight.
@@MarcelNL "Barly" popping into your head is tight!
I love this. You should do a pitch meeting for Supergirl (1984).
‘So then the Witch uses the space battery to send a bulldozer to kill Supergirl because she accidentally made the man fall in love with her.
Why are you calling Security?’
❤ these retro pitch meetings!
Hey, remember in the 100th episode when we saw the editor with big eyes who was responsible for the googly eye thumbnails. Hahahaha what a great video
It's in a different video, but you guys going after those in the comments saying "barely and inconvenience" is fantastic. I love it.
Wow wow wow, revisiting old pitch meetings is tight
Wow wow wow
...
Wow
Hey Ryan! Love your videos. I was wondering if you've ever felt pressured to do a Pitch Meeting for a certain movie that you didn't want to do? Or at least pressured into doing it by a certain time
For example potentially feeling pressured to make a Pitch Meeting for a movie in the MCU while it's still in theaters instead of an "older" movie
What film was the most painful to watch for Pitch Meeting, and how many times did you watch it?
I'm guessing it's the Star Wars Holiday Special!
Mom: "We have Star Wars at home."
Star Wars at home:
I'm guessing it was the Twilight series. When he "breaks" character at the end, I got the feeling that was Ryan showing us those movies almost broke him lol
Your missed opportunity joke was fantastic!!! Loved the image!
I actually have a suggestion for a pitch meeting revisited video: Hotel Transylvania. I especially loved the fun little gag about producer guy shutting his brain off, had me laughing for quite a while. Would love to see what you think of it now, keep these videos coming George Ray-On!
You should still add the wide eyed graphic designer character by dropping them in whenever there's questionable cgi and art direction and play it off as if they've always been a part of pitch meetings. To implement it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience
PLEASE do pitch meetings for the 70s/80s Superman movies. They would be so funny.
All the dDC and Marvel shows from back then.
I would love it if he uses the wigs from Star Wars Episode 4 for that
I'd like to see Pitch Meetings for a lot of older movies, like Apocalypse Now!
I’m still waiting for Classic Films like Casablanca or Citizens Kane.
5:35 Great Bat Deals are exactly why I come here. The Pitch Meetings are a nice bonus
Love these “revisited” videos, input from the creative process is very interesting
Ryan in Pitch Meetings has made me re-evaluate movies. I tried to watch Blade of The 47 Ronin and could not stop noticing how a character would say a line then *pause* another character would talk. Watching how Ryan has pulled this off made it so clear when there’s a bad director
I really enjoyed Ryan’s first ever starring role in “Asteroid City”. Great break out role 😂
Wait you mean he's actually in a Wes Anderson film? No way.
@@rogueguardianLol 😂 No, but the main character looks like him
In addition to all the nice words everyone says about you, Ryan (which are all true, by the way) - the fact that you leave in the special guest appearances by your cats is much appreciated, Ryan.
You know what would be a fun idea for a Pitch Meeting? You should do a Double Feature episode of Barbie and Oppenheimer when both hit theaters in 3 weeks!
wow wow wow wow, that'd be SICK!!
So many options;
1) Double feature episode
2) Make both pitch meetings, then upload them under reversed titles & thumbnails
3) Make one really confusing pitch meeting for both at once
Screenwriter Guy: "I actually have two movie idea-- oh oh no! I, uh, dropped the scripts... I'll just shuffle them together, it should be fine."
I’m waiting for Barbie MEETS Oppenheimer!
@@SeiranSong This is the way
The way to Barbenheimer
I've been subscribed to this channel since the start and I'm so glad to finally see a good bat deal. Makes it all worth it.
The main thing in notice when you revisit these old pitch meetings, is the lack of energy. Idk what that’s all about, but you’ve gotten so much better, Ryan.
I don’t have a joke or reference, so, there ya go.
I really enjoy Ryan George v Ryan George!
The whole idea for Batman v. Superman was inspired by Frank Miller's DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. But in DKR they'd known each other for years, they were old friends but there was also growing tension as they'd begun to follow different paths -- the stakes were so much higher. They didn't get tricked into fighting by some villain's idiot plan, and they didn't stop fighting for some idiot reason.
I didn't understand what Ryan meant by not putting in the big eyed designer joke, I remember it clearly, it was a big moment from episode 100.
It is so cool that you found such an inspired graphic designer for your thumbnails.
Pretty crazy that they make thumbnails look like themselves but I guess that's the world of UA-cam, everyone just kind of looks like different versions of themselves.
Watching this years later, it reminds me of early Simpsons, you know what you were watching is good, clever, just did not hit as hard and fast, but you stuck with it and it eventually it gets better and better. love the growth and development of these.. Always good!!
I genuinely laughed out loud at the googly eyes joke. That was good.
"So the movie can happen." has become my go-to answer whenever I'm watching a movie with someone and they're like "but why did character do dumb thing?" 😂 It honestly does help me get over bad/lazy bits of writing and let me just enjoy a film for what it is though.
Mine was always "because that's what the script says" but I respect his version of it
Bringing things back that were already hilarious is tight
You're editing skills for comedic effect are excellent!
I like revisits better than actual pitch meetings. Not to say I don’t love them, but it’s just Ryan’s updated commentary is the best thing ever.
Is RRR going to be a gateway to more regional movie pitch meetings?? Cause that'd be exciting
I wonder if these videos are making actual studio executives feel like complete idiots. Because that's literally what these videos are doing and I love it😂
Fan question: do you ever watch a movie or tv show just for the fun of it, or do you only watch things to make a pitch meeting? Is there anything you were planning on pitch meetinging but changed your mind?
Related question: can you enjoy movies without thinking about work now?
Ryan, I love your videos
that rope suspension bridge art behind you is awesome.
5:44 That's not only okay, if you do it a few more times it's going to be required.
Understanding Lex's plan was super difficult, very much an inconvenience!
I mean, screenwriter guy is rehearsing "Yes sir, I do!" for years now, surely producer guy will eventually get the hint.
Mandella Effects are TIGHT!
I'm so glad you shared that missed opportunity joke. I laughed my ass off. It is now headcanon. I will think of that guy every time I see one of your thumbnails. Lol.
ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ, ᴠᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʙᴇᴇɴ sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ ᴀ ᴘʀɪᴢᴇ 🎁👆
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 thirtieth attempt.
Did you guys know Ben Affleck has been in the most films as the character batman but never received his own
Right?😢😢
Kinda like the Hulk over on Marvel, right?
@@ChineduOparaThe Hulk had a movie in the MCU though; it's just no one cared about it. Unless you meant when after Mark Ruffalo starter playing the MCU Hulk; the first MCU Hulk was Edward Norton before he got replaced.
Well, clearly that's what he's referring to, because he's talking about actors within the role. Otherwise, "Batman" has had several movies of his own
@@Matthew-ve7uv While this is true, it never hurts to check, especially since the main difference is that there *is* a solo Hulk movie within the MCU yet it's *very* easy to forget it even exists. So I wouldn't blame anyone for just...not knowing it exists, especially when it pretty much never got referenced again beyond General Ross (R.I.P. William Hurt).
Hey Ryan, love the show! It's hilarious!
Just curious if since you've been doing Pitch Meetings if you've been approached to do any comedic acting in a real TV show or movie?
This would be dope and really meta if he cameoed as writer guy or producer guy.
What I notice is how much you improved your pitch meeting scene. This 2016 version is still kinda bland but your 2023 versions are oozing with showmanship and personality.
Ryan, did you ever ponder creating a pitch meeting (if I missed one I apologize) where the movie makes 100% sense and logic is honored? Producer Guy might suggest what he’s come to expect from Screenwriter Guy as wacky physics or dropped plot-points but it’s all actually cohesive and sensible? Your spin on something like this would be absolutely hilarious
Love these re-watches and the additional info, everyone i show your videos to loves them as well. Keep up the good work, and thanks!
