This week, Wumi pitches his prequel film idea to Nintendo’s Star Fox Games. Wumi trusts his instincts, Deeby does a U-turn and Tam has a Giant Robot Monkey-sized gap in his knowledge. Do you sense a disturbance in the not-Force? Email us at brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com and we’ll try and sort that out. That sounds like a really bad problem.

Gamer Month continues, and Deeby pitches a Story Mode for the only game franchise he plays anymore: FIFA Football. Deeby goes football crazy, Wumi’s grapes cause a distraction and Tam tries to introduce a adoption storyline. Are you a sucker for soccer?

It’s GAMER MONTH! Every pitch this month is games-related, and Tam starts off with the obscure Nintendo64 classic, 1080° Snowboarding. Tam can’t do basic maths, Wumi reveals his Indie-kid past, and Deeby wants to breakdance on a board. Tam thinks Ricky Winterborn is the true King in the North.

This week, Tam takes on the impossible: he attempts to pitch a good sequel to 2015’s Fantastic Four. Tam gives The Thing clothes, Deeby doesn’t negotiate with ninja-terrorists, and Wumi *really* wants Marvel to get the rights back. How do you pronounce ‘Ioan Gruffudd’?

With ‘Ghostbusters’ out this week, we discuss other beloved 80s films that could use a gender-swapped, modern-day reboot, and we’ve brought back Ashley to judge the best idea. Wumi goes back to Zamunda with ‘Coming to America’, Tam forgets the “modern” part of the reboot with ‘The Prince Bridegroom’, Ashley doesn’t understand how aging works and Deeby talks about the Bechdel Test moments before we pass it. What other 80s films could work with a genderswapped cast?
