On our latest episode, @joshgondelman.bsky.social joins us to pitch a surprisingly earnest and powerful contemporary remake of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening.

The final product will NOT involve Ted, the teddy bear from the movie Ted.

Watch the ep: youtu.be/Him2_1n-JGI?...

I got into script writing because of @thepoduniverse.com and I realized since joining the community, I've written 20 film length scripts and we've done readings of all of them on Discord. And they've been written by hand, built with a community and it feels great.

Alright, it’s time to field predictions about LAST FLIGHT OF THE STONE HAMMER! I know you don’t have much to go on, but take your best shot! What do you expect, and how do you think this could possibly tie into Pod People (if at all)?

Text over colorful Starfield: CALL FOR PREDICTIONS! Last Flight of the Stone Hammer! What do you expect from Dylan’s first solo pitch for the Pod Universe?

Next season we’ll be lifting our advertising restrictions so that in addition to selling ads to independent artists we’ll also be selling them to foods. Not food brands, just foods in general. “This episode is brought to you by sandwiches.” And so on.

It would be an honor just to be pretend nominated

With fake film podcasts like @thepoduniverse.com and @smitpod.bsky.social (and hopefully more to come), I’ve noticed a glaring need: fake films deserve fake award shows. Am I the person to fulfill this? God help us all if I am.

Thanks for listening, and great question! If we don’t mention an actor when a character is introduced, that means we didn’t pick anybody. BUT if they show up again later, we might cast the character retroactively.

Kyle (osifracrat) @osifracrat.bsky.social · 16d

New listener. Just had a question. Do you keep a cast list somewhere in the notes? There were a couple characters that didnt have actors cast in the intro. Not sure if you only cast leads in your pitches or if you had ideas for some of the more prominent side characters.

hey all, Dalton here. It has come to my attention that Dylan has not been making insensitive comments about Charlie Kirk on social media. This does not reflect the values of our show, and as a result, we are pulling him from his hosting slot indefinitely. thank you for your attention to this matter

Can you solve the mystery? What’s going on at Alterr, the Silicon Valley company whose employees are being replaced by doppelgängers? What is the “external processor” and what does it mean that “it worked, just not HERE?”

Share your theories and tune in on Sunday for the conclusion!

So excited for a new, original story from these two. Listened to this first episode, and it's SICK (in more ways than one) (complimentary).

Is it too soon to start hawking novelty merchandise from our new episode? Is it gauche? Uncouth, even? We’ll risk it.
