Oh, how sweet... his first memory was her giving him the scar[f]. So technically, she gave him life. And since he has the mind of a toddler, he must see her as his mother... What a lovely Freudian Christmas movie! No wonder it's so popular :D
He always melts. The issue was he was locked in there and couldn't do anything to cool down (windows, ice etc ). Traditional Frosty or The Snowman rules👍🏾
A lot of things dont make sense but one I'll mention is I felt the scene at the thrift store actually implied that the old woman used the same method on her husband once before. Frosty could be manifesting as a new person every generation or so. He seems to do this to infiltrate and impregnate human women with his snow seed thus creating a sleeper army of snow men ready to strike at a moments notice from within our society. Brilliant movie.
I would have never looked up "hot frosty" in Urban Dictionary without this Pitch Meeting, so thanks for that, Ryan. Edward Cullen really is a hot frosty.

The movie was great! It's the kind of romcoms they made 20 years ago but with a softer Christmas theme instead of a hallmark Christmas movie. Anyone that likes romcoms would like it.
There's an old youtube channel called "This Exists" that's making a comeback after a long hiatus and each episode is about something that is so bizarre and weird you wouldn't think it exists but it does, and this Pitch Meeting reminded me of it. Still not 100% sure this movie actually exists, even though Ryan showed us footage.

As a non-American who grew up experiencing summer Christmases, I have developed a fascination with the Hallmark-style Christmas movies. Watching them is like studying an alien culture. When I saw "Hot Frosty" on Netflix recently, I had to watch it immediately. It was bad, but in that good way that all these movies are. You giggle to yourself as you think about the people involved in making this and how they cope with the reality of their involvement. I hope they get loads of cash to help them sleep at night. The Sherriff was my favourite character, stalking around the rural Winter Wonderland like Clint Eastwood. I was so excited to see this Pitch Meeting and concur with all the points made, especially about Jack's health. Hope he's okay and thanks for the dedication to chiseled abs, Hot Frosty.
We associate Christmas with cold and snow because all the major countries with movie industries are in the North Hemisphere. They and We forget the half the population lives in the South Hemisphere and even in our winter, only 3 countries have snow: Argentina; Chile and New Zealand. None are powerhouses to make summer Christmas movies a thing. PS: Tip of mountains with snow don't count.
I haven’t lived in a snowy climate in 10 years, lived in subtropical NZ, Sydney and now Hawaii, plus spent 22 years in CA earlier. To me Christmas lights belong on 🌴 palm trees.
Saw this title pop-up on netflix and I KNEW some of the youtuber's I follow would be addressing this quickly. The concept of this movie alone is bewilderingly fascinating
My favorite parts of this movie were when 1) the single woman invited the weird guy she just met to come stay in her house and 2) the middle school hired a guy with no last name or social security number to work with children.
The neighbours' first reaction to learning that Kathy is dating a snowman? A causal "It's Christmas", meaning that if had been literally ANY other time of year, then they'd have been aghast?!
Kind of feels more like a gender-swapped Pygmalion to me... Doesn't make it any less creepy, but it's got more in common with that myth than Frosty the Snowman.
Your questions are inappropriate by their mere existence. I don't think you're meant to have a functioning brain to ask these questions while watching this movie.
I have loved "Hey, shut up" since you first said it, but the new one "Hey, shut up forever" is genius. Love your work! And love your new channel with the long-form stuff. It's fascinating listening to your take on more general stuff. I really liked the takedown of ultra-expensive houses.
"He used to fix the heating, but he is dead." She could phone a heating engineer. Somebody living in a house like that can definitely afford to get their heating fixed.
Small town housing prices are WAY lower, especially if there's no mortgage. And no matter where you live when you lose over half your income it's easy to barely make enough money to pay your bills, they bought it when he was still alive. Not fixing the heating also means not having to pay for heating. Of course money wasn't actually an issue for her in this movie, but the size of her house had nothing to do with it.
I tried watching this movie, and in the less than 5 minutes' chance I gave it, this was answered. She has a post it note next to the thermostat telling her to call the repairman. And when she gets to work, one of her employees asks her if she called. Of course she ignores the note.
@xipheonj If she was hard up, I don't see how she could afford to pay the mortgage, she'd have to downsize. I mean, maybe she can exactly afford the mortgage but in that case it's better to downsize than have no heating and live in the house that reminds you of your dead husband all the time, maybe she's looking, it's not like I'm going to watch this movie am I?
If you want to feel OLD think about how 15 years ago Craig Robinson and Joe Lo Truglio were up and coming comedians in supporting roles in every cool movie that was coming out, and now they're like 50 years old playing small parts in Hallmark Christmas ass movies
Doesn't make me feel old just depressed at how wokeness has harmed free speech and by extension comedy and creativity in the film industry. Brooklyn 99 used to be so great pre-covid...
First thing I thought when I read Hot Frosty was that the Frosty machine at Wendy's broke down so now it's just squirting out hot Frosty juice. Those are all words I never wanted to put together but here we are
And there were some....recent definitions, making the title of this movie that much more uncomfortable. Let's hope Wendy's doesn't decide to release a seasonal "Hot Frosty" But who am I kidding, I think they will do that....and no, it will be just the vanilla flavor.
It isn't wars and destroying the earth that has me loosing faith in humanity. It's from the fact that movies like this are successful and they can keep making them
I watched Hot Santa with my middle-school daughter today 😂 We enjoyed suspending belief for a while and laughed so much together. I think there's a whole holiday sub-genre where the movies don't have to be good, they just have to tick off certain emotional boxes.
There are millions of people -- mostly women -- who watch those Hallmark Xmas romance movies and gobble them up like Thanksgiving leftovers. My sister in law is one of them, although she also is addicted to their non-Xmas romance movies. They churn those out regularly, and if you look at IMDb, the people who watch them almost always make sure they've got a very high star rating.
People who enjoyed the romantic storyline in "Big" that involved a grown woman hooking up with a young boy. Same vibe that made Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" such a success!
Urban Dictionary's definition of hot frosty is: _"a really good-lookin' corpse that makes you seriously consider necrophilia."_ It seems to me that that is quite literally what this movie is about.
I just. Based on the title, I clicked on this thinking this was you doing a kind of a parody film review that was taking a jab at Red One. And then here it is and it's real and it's Hot Frosty, baby.
Hey Ryan. I really love these. I have a few questions. 1. Have you ever thought of pitching a movie that wasn’t ever released? Maybe Screenwriter Guy could say everything we know about the movie and Producer Guy could be like “nah not happening.” 2. Might you revisit the videos on your main channel the way you have revisited Pitch Meetings? 3. Why do you draw things when you revisit Pitch Meetings? 4. Do you do standup comedy? If not would you like to? 5. Is there a reason you’ve pitched Toy Story but not any of its sequels? 6. I really love when the pitch meeting mimics things the show does (for example, the spider footage in the one for Sharknado). Can you please do that more often? 7. You have said you regret calling the Boss Baby’s writing lazy. What, if anything, would you consider lazy writing? 8. You said you hesitated to do pitch meetings for Boss Baby and 300 because both are stories being told by a character. Did you hesitate to pitch Aladdin for the same reason? I noticed that in that pitch meeting, although you do reference the fact that the merchant is telling a story, no one uses it as an excuse for things not making sense. 9. Have you ever thought about doing pitch meetings for music videos? I figure if you can do the trailer for Avengers: Endgame why not a music video? 10. Is there a reason you started including slideshows at the end of pitch meetings? 11. Do you ever laugh as you’re writing the scripts? 12. You have said that as you’re watching a movie or series you make a list of things to make fun of and if that list is too short you just don’t do the pitch meeting. Do you do the same thing as you listen to songs you plan to make videos about, and do you follow a similar process when you’re making fun of social constructs such as owning a pet or fishing?
We complained about youtb putting those shitty things at the end of videos that cover the screen and we couldn't read the news which contradicts producer guys take. Ryan's the only one who was smart enough to realize that people are all in till the very last joke. So he started adding padding at the end to facilitate the ding end punchline being readable.
Respect to Ryan for skipping over Gladiator 2 and Wicked to make a pitch meeting for the real movie event of the year.

Apostrophes aren't used to make plurals. Stop using them for that. It's just "UA-camrs."
@@englishatheart Probably auto-fill. It happen's😏
"Hey shut up forever." The catch phrases groooow.
My favorite parts of this movie were when 1) the single woman invited the weird guy she just met to come stay in her house and 2) the middle school hired a guy with no last name or social security number to work with children.
I would have guessed Moana. Or Wicked if you were quick. Nobody at all had money on a "Hot Frosty" pitch meeting, but I'm here for it.
All the better, because somebody needed to call this movie out, and there's no competition for those clicks yet.
The neighbours' first reaction to learning that Kathy is dating a snowman? A causal "It's Christmas", meaning that if had been literally ANY other time of year, then they'd have been aghast?!
Well I'd be upset to see a snowman in summer, tbf
Yeah, because Christmas is snowman season. If she were with the Easter Bunny at Xmas they'd be aghast then too.
Kind of feels more like a gender-swapped Pygmalion to me... Doesn't make it any less creepy, but it's got more in common with that myth than Frosty the Snowman.
Your questions are inappropriate by their mere existence. I don't think you're meant to have a functioning brain to ask these questions while watching this movie.
Oh wow, I just looked up Hot Frosty on the urban dictionary, and I am...never going to recover
How is this comment not higher up
I have loved "Hey, shut up" since you first said it, but the new one "Hey, shut up forever" is genius. Love your work! And love your new channel with the long-form stuff. It's fascinating listening to your take on more general stuff. I really liked the takedown of ultra-expensive houses.
The scene where he's pushing the car out of the snow had me in stitches
"He used to fix the heating, but he is dead."
She could phone a heating engineer. Somebody living in a house like that can definitely afford to get their heating fixed.
"oh, so there's no handyman, or a friendly neighbour?"
Small town housing prices are WAY lower, especially if there's no mortgage. And no matter where you live when you lose over half your income it's easy to barely make enough money to pay your bills, they bought it when he was still alive. Not fixing the heating also means not having to pay for heating.
Of course money wasn't actually an issue for her in this movie, but the size of her house had nothing to do with it.
I like how he can learn to fix a house from watching tv in one afternoon but she is so incompetent she just lives alone in a broken house.
I tried watching this movie, and in the less than 5 minutes' chance I gave it, this was answered. She has a post it note next to the thermostat telling her to call the repairman. And when she gets to work, one of her employees asks her if she called. Of course she ignores the note.
@xipheonj
If she was hard up, I don't see how she could afford to pay the mortgage, she'd have to downsize. I mean, maybe she can exactly afford the mortgage but in that case it's better to downsize than have no heating and live in the house that reminds you of your dead husband all the time, maybe she's looking, it's not like I'm going to watch this movie am I?
Literally just found out this movie existed yesterday and now there is a pitch meeting? TIGHT
This is how I found out.
Nearly immediate Pitch Meetings right after a movie hits the screen are TIGHT
I didn't even know this was a movie until the Pitch Meeting.
One day sooner than me
The first Urban Dictionary definition is making me giggle cackle quite a lot. 😂
O gracious goodness. Did you see the second one?
Try looking up 'hot frosting', that's way worse
It was nice of Ryan to make the painting for this scene! 3:26
If you want to feel OLD think about how 15 years ago Craig Robinson and Joe Lo Truglio were up and coming comedians in supporting roles in every cool movie that was coming out, and now they're like 50 years old playing small parts in Hallmark Christmas ass movies
Doesn't make me feel old just depressed at how wokeness has harmed free speech and by extension comedy and creativity in the film industry. Brooklyn 99 used to be so great pre-covid...
Never heard of this movie until 5 seconds ago but I bet the pitch meeting is TIGHT!
"Heyshutupforever." Seriously, Producer Guy, just let it go until the end of time. Much appreciated.
First thing I thought when I read Hot Frosty was that the Frosty machine at Wendy's broke down so now it's just squirting out hot Frosty juice.
Those are all words I never wanted to put together but here we are
Everything Wrong With 'Hot Frosty: 'movie does not contain a scene of them driving by an actual Wendy's'
Squirting out hot frosty juice is just implied at the end, they never actually show it.
Getting squirted with hot Frosty juice is TIGHT!
well, all those adult film spinoffs of movies, don't need an alternate title to spoof this movie..
Just watched this the other day with family and was hoping for a Pitch Meeting. On point as always!
"Hot Frosty" rolls off the tongue better than "Snow Pygmalion."
Travel identification line was pure gold.
Wow that urban dictionary look up was extremely overwhelming. The more i scrolled the more horrified i became.
RIP to those who googled that including myself
And there were some....recent definitions, making the title of this movie that much more uncomfortable.
Let's hope Wendy's doesn't decide to release a seasonal "Hot Frosty"
But who am I kidding, I think they will do that....and no, it will be just the vanilla flavor.
"Hey shut up" x 3. Best Pitch Meeting ever. lol. I just love that line for some reason. XD
3:15I just realized this is the same plot as Edward scissorhands like almost exactly
It isn't wars and destroying the earth that has me loosing faith in humanity. It's from the fact that movies like this are successful and they can keep making them
These movies will bring forth the Four Horsemen, no doubt.
I'm with you, brother.
*losing.
you shouldnt look it up
I did.🫢
I immediately looked it up
That’s the first thing I did after he said that lol
I will, though.
Wow. Wow wow wow
Wow
Your profile fits so well with your comment
3:12 I'm pretty sure that's how the leveling in Project Zomboid works
Noice
Project zomboid reference! I should log into my account on steam it’s been three years since I last played haha
I love those 2 guys. They have so much chemistry together.
I watched Hot Santa with my middle-school daughter today 😂 We enjoyed suspending belief for a while and laughed so much together. I think there's a whole holiday sub-genre where the movies don't have to be good, they just have to tick off certain emotional boxes.
A Hot Frosty really DOES sound like something you would pay $100 to a Street Lady for.
89%?????? HOW?!
Lowered expectations.
Becuase critics ratings means diddly squat, or they were paid off
The audience for Hallmark drivel don't expect a masterpiece. They probably don't even know what the word means. 😅
I hadn't even heard of this. So... free pitch meeting wow wow wow, wow
Who is this movie even for???
Lonely people and moms. LIke all hallmark movies.
There are millions of people -- mostly women -- who watch those Hallmark Xmas romance movies and gobble them up like Thanksgiving leftovers. My sister in law is one of them, although she also is addicted to their non-Xmas romance movies. They churn those out regularly, and if you look at IMDb, the people who watch them almost always make sure they've got a very high star rating.
Frustrated housewives.
Lonely white women with no morals?
People who enjoyed the romantic storyline in "Big" that involved a grown woman hooking up with a young boy.
Same vibe that made Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" such a success!
Urban Dictionary's definition of hot frosty is:
_"a really good-lookin' corpse that makes you seriously consider necrophilia."_
It seems to me that that is quite literally what this movie is about.
I just. Based on the title, I clicked on this thinking this was you doing a kind of a parody film review that was taking a jab at Red One. And then here it is and it's real and it's Hot Frosty, baby.
The fact that this incredibly cheesy movie has already made enough of a cultural impact to end up with a Pitch Meeting makes ridiculously happy.
It makes me ridiculously depressed.
A week after it was out, Ryan Reynolds had an ad mocking it to promote his liquor company
Just goes to show the state of the movie industry. The Hollywood carcass has being rotting for years now.
A hot frosty sounds like a strange Starbucks drink, and I'm here for it.
I mean based on what it means you could treat it like that if you are into it, but I wouldn’t recommend it
It was available for two weeks, made one kid’s teeth fall out, was banned in 41 states + Samoa, then was never available again.
@@Thylaacinedon’t forget the lawsuits!
Hey Ryan. I really love these. I have a few questions.
1. Have you ever thought of pitching a movie that wasn’t ever released? Maybe Screenwriter Guy could say everything we know about the movie and Producer Guy could be like “nah not happening.”
2. Might you revisit the videos on your main channel the way you have revisited Pitch Meetings?
3. Why do you draw things when you revisit Pitch Meetings?
4. Do you do standup comedy? If not would you like to?
5. Is there a reason you’ve pitched Toy Story but not any of its sequels?
6. I really love when the pitch meeting mimics things the show does (for example, the spider footage in the one for Sharknado). Can you please do that more often?
7. You have said you regret calling the Boss Baby’s writing lazy. What, if anything, would you consider lazy writing?
8. You said you hesitated to do pitch meetings for Boss Baby and 300 because both are stories being told by a character. Did you hesitate to pitch Aladdin for the same reason? I noticed that in that pitch meeting, although you do reference the fact that the merchant is telling a story, no one uses it as an excuse for things not making sense.
9. Have you ever thought about doing pitch meetings for music videos? I figure if you can do the trailer for Avengers: Endgame why not a music video?
10. Is there a reason you started including slideshows at the end of pitch meetings?
11. Do you ever laugh as you’re writing the scripts?
12. You have said that as you’re watching a movie or series you make a list of things to make fun of and if that list is too short you just don’t do the pitch meeting. Do you do the same thing as you listen to songs you plan to make videos about, and do you follow a similar process when you’re making fun of social constructs such as owning a pet or fishing?
We complained about youtb putting those shitty things at the end of videos that cover the screen and we couldn't read the news which contradicts producer guys take. Ryan's the only one who was smart enough to realize that people are all in till the very last joke. So he started adding padding at the end to facilitate the ding end punchline being readable.
Thank god for the slideshow! I missed that important blink!!
Most unbelievable part of the movie is she got a same-day doctor appointment for a wellness check.
"Hot Frosty" sounds like a dirty deed. Aaaaand Ryan already confirmed that the second I typed my comment, lol.
I looked that up on urban dictionary and saw what it meant and I was like “wait, people actually do this?” But apparently it is.
@MaizeSnallygaster Now I feel like I have to look it up, knowing full well that doing so is a terrible idea. Curiosity always wins, at least for me.
“Hey shutup forever!”🤣
Hi there, hello, Ryan George! Thank you very much for the slideshow from the thing I just watched.
No, I don't think a scolding hot Frosty milkshake from Wendy's would be good.
don't give them any ideas...
love to see new people introduced to the gross 'born sexy yesterday' trope
