LikedIt’s the very first episode of The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr and our first guest is Phil Wang! And Phil’s subgenre is…This Place is Evil. We’re talking psychological torture, we’re talking gory death scenes, we’re talking Lorraine Kelly?! The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr is a brand new comedy podcast where each week a different celebrity guest pitches an idea for a film based on one of the SUPER niche sub-genres on Netflix. From ‘Steamy Crime Movies from the 1970s’ to ‘Australian Dysfunctional Family Comedies Starring A Strong Female Lead’, our celebrity guests will pitch their wacky plot, their dream cast, the marketing stunts, and everything in between. By the end of every episode, Jimmy Carr, Comedian by night / “Netflix Executive” by day, will decide whether the pitch is greenlit or condemned to development hell! Listen on all podcast platforms and watch on the Netflix Is A Joke YouTube Channel . The Big Pitch is a co-production by Netflix and BBC Studios Audio. Jimmy Carr is an award-winning stand-up comedian and writer, touring his brand-new show JIMMY CARR: LAUGHS FUNNY throughout the USA from May to November this year, as well as across the UK and Europe, before hitting Australia and New Zealand in early 2026. All info and tickets for the tour are available at JIMMYCARR.COM Production Coordinator: Becky Carewe-Jeffries Production Manager: Mabel Finnegan-Wright Editor: Stuart Reid Producer: Pete Strauss Executive Producer: Richard Morris Executive Producers for Netflix: Kathryn Huyghue, Erica Brady, and David Markowitz Set Design: Helen Coyston Studios: Tower Bridge Studios Make Up: Samantha Coughlan Cameras: Daniel Spencer Sound: Charlie Emery Branding: Tim Lane Photography: James Hole…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text Well, Should-Heads, we’re finally doing our last Zodiac recommendations, so if you’re a Taurus, Leo or Aquarius, you’ll want to take some notes. Links mentioned: Neil Gaiman. Vulture posted an article where they spoke with four of the five women who have accused Neil Gaiman of sexually assaulting them. The article is explicit in spelling out their accusations. https://www.vulture.com/article/neil-gaiman-allegations-controversy-amanda-palmer-sandman-madoc.html Book Riot discussed it here https://bookriot.com/neil-gaiman-sexual-assault-victims-speak-out-vulture/ Some of his upcoming projects have been canceled; another Vulture article discusses which projects are canceled or otherwise changing. https://www.vulture.com/article/neil-gaiman-allegations-adaptations.html We’ve discussed this before, but it’s a conversation that definitely could stand to be revisited. What are your thoughts on separating the art from the artist? Does it matter what the accusations are? For example, is it acceptable to stay a JK Rowling fan, because IN MY OPINION she’s just an unhinged billionaire with deeply problematic beliefs? Is it only a problem if actual crimes are reportedly committed? And how should we weigh all of this when none of this art exists in a vacuum? Some of the people who work on JK Rowling’s books or TV/movie offerings are almost certainly trans. And the money generated by her books and movies would definitely go toward releasing books that deal with trans issues in a better and more accurate manner (as opposed to believing that every trans woman is just a man in a dress waiting to rape women in public bathrooms). How do we decide what to do here? And to end with GOOD book news, the movie Sing Sing is the first movie to get released in theaters and in correctional facilities. (It’ll be distributed to 1,100 facilities). The movie’s a true story about incarcerated men in Sing Sing who formed a theater group. Some of the movie’s cast were men who were in that troupe. https://bookriot.com/sing-sing-film-release-theaters-and-prisons/ Twitter and Instagram: wysr_podcast…
