Pitch Me A Movie: X-Men

10/23/2025
Rosie and Jason each pitch their idea for an X-Men movie. This includes an elevator pitch, director, cast, storyline, and how the movie will connect to the greater MCU (if at all). After we hear each pitch, each pitch is returned by the studio with two “requests” (spins of the Studio Roulette wheel), and they have to adapt and pitch a new version of their movie with these Mandated Studio Changes. The Mandated Studio Changes will include one “Required Character Inclusion and Casting” and one “Story/Tone” change. After receiving these changes, the hosts will be required to tweak their pitches and re-present them. At the end, our studio panel will vote for which of the pitches (including original ones) they are most interested in funding. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
