Featuring a culinary mob drama centred around the opposite of food porn, and an intergalactic political organised crime epic which, if we're honest, is far too good an idea for this podcast and should actually get picked up by a movie studio immediately.

Bec and Rory welcome Danielle Ward and Jon Gracey onto the podcast to come up with new ideas based on the category 'Teen Screams'. But what is a 'Teen Scream'? Is it literally any movie where a teen screams? Or is there more to it than that? The team dissect this and more, landing on a horror movie idea about high school jocks meeting a jock-ish comeuppance, and a slasher flick that's sure to make even the most hardened horror fan wince.

Get prepping, cos Bec and Rory are joined by Michael Legge and Paul Foxcroft for a nosedive into the chaotic world of "post-apocalypse films". From 'Mad Max' to 'A Quiet Place', it's a crowded and sometimes rather random field, which probably explains why this episode produces two of the most bizarre ideas we've seen to date. Featuring a dystopian world in which gambling and country music are the only cultural and economic games in town, and an accidental time travelling adventure to a land where giant, sentient salad has taken over. This episode's a weird one, we're not going to lie.   Follow Because You Watched on   Twitter: https://twitter.com/youwatchedpod   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youwatchedpod/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/youwatchedpod   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
