The Broken Elevator

The Inevitable Clip Show, Vol.1

Mon, 02 Oct 2017 16:17:45 +0000

We're still on a break, but we want you to know we're still here, and we still care :)

While we work on our next batch of pitches, Tam has compiled some of the best parts from the first four episodes of the podcast:

01 - Spider-Man 4

02 - The Last Airbender

03 - Fargo 2

04 - El Santo

63 - Choose Your Fighter!

Mon, 04 Sep 2017 22:07:28 +0000

Gamer Month comes to an end as the gang assemble their combatants for a free-for-all throw down in the virtual arena of fighting games!

Wumi gets childish, Tam's a real peach and Deeby's making it rain (or snow).

59 - Genderswap the 90s! (ft. Stella)

Mon, 31 Jul 2017 06:00:00 +0000

Stella returns in this week's episode, as we give the genderswap treatment to some films of the 1990s.

Stella modernises a tale as old as time in Beauty and the Beast, Wumi almost recaps the entire plot of The Fifth Element and Deeby is ssssmoking in The Mask.

What other remakes could let another gender take the lead? Let us know by emailing us at brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com, or find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @BrokenEPod.

58 - Space Jam but it's Football

Mon, 10 Jul 2017 10:17:23 +0000

And by "Football" we mean "Soccer".

This week Tam's given Deeby the challenge of pitching a sequel to the 1996 Looney Tunes/Michael Jordan crossover classic. Using Football as the sport of his sequel, Deeby recruits an unlikely crew in both the real world and the animated world.

57 - The All-American Remake (Pitch-off #9)

Mon, 03 Jul 2017 06:00:00 +0000

America: The land of the free, and the home of several remakes of Foreign-language films. This week we've decided to add a few more suggestions to the ever-growing adaptations.

Tam has a crime-solving anti-vaxxer in 'Mother', Wumi moves 'City of God' to The Windy City and Deeby Makes America Cannibals Again with 'Raw'.

Spike Lee's 'Oldboy' is the best 'Oldboy', according to no-one. Email us at brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com if you agree, or find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @BrokenEPod.

Wumi's putting on a show! If you're in London check out his exhibition at Tuck Inn Canteen in Dalston between the 6th and 9th of July.

56 - Old Man Van Helsing (ft. Nick)

Mon, 26 Jun 2017 06:00:00 +0000

This week our guest Nick Hurd pitches a long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed 2004 Jackman/Beckinsale joint, Van Helsing.

Nick knows his Voodoo, Wumi loves vegans and Tam thinks the Dark Universe is much larger than suspected.

What other franchises should Hugh Jackman return to? Email us at brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com if you think it should be Prisoners.

55 - The Simpsons Are Going to South London! (ft. Stella)

Mon, 19 Jun 2017 08:09:37 +0000

Sure, the Simpsons came to London back in 2003, but so much has changed since then - plus they never went to Morley's. Our guest Stella pitches her own Treehouse of Horror-influenced feature length special, which brings America's First Family into her own pocket of The Big Smoke.

Stella used a totally cromulent word, Wumi crammed like he's never crammed before and Tam is so Smart. S-M-A-T.

You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel. Email us instead: brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com

54 - The Heel-Face Turn

Mon, 12 Jun 2017 09:05:33 +0000

Deeby's back!

To celebrate his return we return to one of our favourite episodes but with a TWIST: instead of good guys Hailing HYDRA, we've taken a bunch of villains and turned them into a force for good.

Agent Smith goes bowling, the Gruber Brothers get together for a Big Score and The Red Skull had a pretty chill time in Space.

Fri, 19 May 2017 14:05:38 +0000

50 - The Shining 2

Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:15:33 +0000

In this week's season finale, Tam retells one of his abandoned pitches: an adaptation of 'Doctor Sleep', Stephen King's 2013 'The Shining' sequel novel. Wumi learns about the Psychic life of Danny Torrence, Deeby can't stop referencing The Simpsons, and Tam really doesn't want his pitch to turn into a Superhero film. We're starting the Stephen King-ematic Universe. Email us at brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com if you want to join the Initiative.

Fri, 07 Apr 2017 17:29:56 +0000

Deeby follows the modern Disney method with his live-action adaptation of the 1963 Disney Classic(?), 'The Sword In The Stone'. Deeby does some accents, Wumi finds animated mice delicious and Tam is a Disney-less pariah. Who's ready for a live-action Bambi?

Mon, 03 Apr 2017 15:00:48 +0000

On the 3rd of April 2016, we uploaded our first pitch: Tam's 'Spider-Man 4'. One year - and 47 pitches later, Deeby and Wumi decide to repitch their stories in front of a LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE!

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 22:43:35 +0000

This week Deeby gives the term "star-crossed lovers" an all new meaning in his Romeo and Juliet-inspired pitch. Deeby takes inspiration from Star Wars, Stranger Things and even a little bit of the bard himself in his planet-hopping adventure. It's super romantic, you guys. Ponda Baba & Cornelius Evazan are the Rosencrantz & Guildenstern of the Star Wars Universe. Wanna prove us wrong?

42 - Toy Stories (Pitch-Off #7)

Fri, 03 Feb 2017 14:21:52 +0000

We're all looking forward to the Lego Batman Movie, right? This week we get ourselves ready by pitching our own toy-based films. Deeby rolls the dice with 'Snakes and Ladders', Wumi gets personal with 'Beanie Babies' and Tam is down with modern kids in 'Hatchimals'. What toy do you think could make a good film franchise? And why should Dwayne Johnson definitely star in it?

41 - Shaft: The Next Generation

Fri, 27 Jan 2017 01:24:32 +0000

Hollywood's just announced that they're rebooting the 'Shaft' films, but Tam reckons he can do better that the director of 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'. Tam introduces a new generation of the Shaft Family to the gritty world of modern-day Harlem - whatever that's like. With only two days to write his plot, Tam's only got the opening scenes, but Deeby and Wumi help plan the rest of the story. What other films should we pitch at the last second?

40 - Air Doll: Origins (ft. Jan Lukas)

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 02:03:43 +0000

This week's episode is probably NSFW. Probably. Everyone loves a good foreign film every once in a while, right? This week, our guest Jan Lukas from German podcast 'Kompendium des Unbehagens' introduces us to the Japanese film "Air Doll" and his idea for a spinoff prequel.

Fri, 13 Jan 2017 01:17:37 +0000

Back in 2003 Daft Punk released 'Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem', a feature length film of animated music videos for their album Discovery. Fourteen years later Wumi attempts to tie the songs of 2013's Random Access Memories together in his sequel pitch, 'Fragments of Time'. Christopher Nolan has no involvement in either project. In this week's musical episode, Wumi gets super visual, Deeby isn't a fan, and Tam tries to sing like a robot. Did Wumi's pitch (Robot) rock?

Mon, 07 Nov 2016 12:07:01 +0000
