076 Sequel Speed Pitch Special: A Patreon Preview

Retro Grade Podcast

On this special episode, we give a FREE preview of all the fun we have over at on the Retro Grade Podcast Patreon! We have our Modern Grade series where we review newer movies, our This Month In Movies series where we talk about current events in the industry, our Tier List Special where we make up tier lists for movie topics, and finally our Sequel Speed Pitch which is a little bit more complicated to explain.

We have covered a little over 70 movies over the years of doing Retro Grade Podcast. We started this show because we love movies but ultimately, someday we wish to make some ourselves. So we put our writing skills to the test, and both Austin and Jorge come up with their own sequels to a movie they have covered. One pitch from each of us, two pitches total. The catch is, we don’t know what movie we are doing until its time to record, and only get 45 minutes to write a pitch to that sequel. We must also follow four rules:

1) Each host must include the quote we picked for the movie when we covered it.

2) Decide whether or not this is going to be a sequel, or some kind of remake/reboot of the original film.

3) Include a previous actor from the film to be included in our sequel (can be just a cameo.)

4) If a sequel already exists, the host cannot just plagiarize the existing sequel.

5) We must mention the song that will inevitably be featured as a down tempo cover in our film’s trailer.

We spun the wheel and got Sam Raimi’s, Spider-Man (2002.) Later this month, we will be recording another Sequel Speed pitch JUST for our patrons. If you like this episode, let us know, and perhaps consider signing up for our Patreon where we do all kinda of fun stuff like this! We hope you enjoy!
Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.
