  • This week for his pitch Luke fries up some green tomatoes, and runs a river right through the Mind Cinema with a grand sweeping family epic stuffed full of generational resentment, lost love, and bare chested truck stop boxing. Next up Graham channels his inner Riddler and springs a surprise pitching game on our dynamic duo, throwing them headfirst into a whirlwind of remakes, multiple Martins, Michael Caines and Christopher Nolan vehicles - this way sweet madness lies!

  • This week in Episode 8, Luke dons his pith helmet, slings his rifle over his shoulder and marches us deep into the dark, sweaty, surreal heart of the Amazon Rainforest for an adventure crammed full of gold, greed, madness and folly...settle back in your seats and hear the speakers of the Mind Cinema tremble with the sounds of the flora and fauna! Graham pulls us back from the brink of forest based insanity, and brings a three layered sandwich to his pitching picnic, the first slice: a surprise Marvel pitch (cool it, Feige, we've lawyered up!), the filling: a moving sports drama, and the top slice: a very welcome visit from an old Podcast friend, who finds himself slap bang in the middle of a Jerry Bruckheimer action thrill ride!

  • This week, in a first for the Mind Cinema we receive a special delivery from our new friends at the CinecittΓ  Di Bologne...a mysterious box full of unassembled reels of film, a paper edit, and an invitation to assemble them into a semblance of a movie...who better to take on the task than our very own Graham and Flloyd 'the bud' Cotton! What secrets lay within the spools, and have we accepted a dark force into the walls of the projection booth...?? Luke, on the other hand, has a mangled VHS he's rescued from the recreation room player that he needs to make some sense of - and keeps the paranormal ball rolling with his tale of a serial killer stalking the rain soaked streets of Chicago, pulled right from the shelves of a 1990s Blockbuster!

Pull on your spandex, you jabronis, it's time for the Racehorse Movies mid-season break - a wrestling spectacular to surpass the most star-studded of Royal Rumbles, can you dig it?!

  • Come on in and make yourselves comfy in the Mind Cinema, we have a couple of humdingers ready for projection! This week Luke will be pitching a film about a slick, psychopathic businessman days away from a Really Big Deal - he's hopped up on more blow than a hurricane, and teetering on the edge of a complete meltdown...will a mysterious painting be the thing that tips him over the edge?! Graham keeps the pedal to the metal for his movie - with a Coen-esque chase across 1920s America. A bank robber and a young girl are thrown together by fate and forced to R-U-N-N-O-F-T from a villain more tenacious than a T-1000...there will be bullets, blood, music, magic and a whole lot of heart....but will there be redemption...?

  • This week in the Mind Cinema Graham serves up a visceral, visual delight with a love letter to one of his favourite filmmakers...expect an epic, story hopping fever dream chock full of montages, poetry and smoking - what a tribute! For his pitch, Luke has brought along not one, not two, but three reels to assemble for projection. Amongst the spools of celluloid are a sequel to a 90s classic, a generation spanning rivalry between two brothers and a morally bankrupt NASCAR comedy - we even throw in a bonus submarine fantasy movie and a skateboarding underdog story, what a haul!

  • Pull on your shades and lift those damned eyebrows, it's time for the first ever Mind Cinema Star Vehicle Spectacular! This week Graham and Luke have a smorgasbord of pitches all written for an absolute titan of acting, the wide grinnin', wolf-turnin', cherry-pit-spittin' bona fide movie legend that is Jack Nicholson! We'll get to see this most special of guests turn his many talents to playing a drifter on the run from his past, a Vietnam vet/guardian angel, a punk poet with one last wild ride left in his tanks and lots more. So without further ado, sit back, and let's hear it for Jaaaaaaaaaaack!

  • In Episode 3 the Mind Cinema rings with the sound of a gavel hammering as Luke pitches a military thriller ripped right out of the 1990s. Giving us enough corruption, conspiracy, and courtroom showdowns to make Rob Reiner raise his eyebrows, and displaying a knowledge of law so loose it would make Lady Justice blush. For Graham's movie, he dials up the paranoia and transports us smack bang into the 1970s, where no-one can be trusted, and nothing is quite as it seems! Expect more twists than a Curly Wurly as he begs the question...who....or what is Raymond Tusk?

  • The Mind Cinema is truly in the pink this week with a couple of pitches that could have been hewn from the same rock....or should that be asteroid?! Graham goes medieval (emphasis on eval!) on our asses, tools up, lops the head off a wolf, plays the lute - and that's all within the first three minutes of his movie, things only get more weird and wonderful from there! Next up Luke takes the bloodied gore baton with an accidental spiritual sequel to Graham's pitch, set in space, where a crew of roughnecks embark on an easy-peasy haulage mission to a distant, powerful moon accompanied by a slimy company-man - what could go wrong?!

  • Welcome to the Psycho Kino, enter ye who dare!! On this most hallowed of eves, Graham 'Gorehound' Thomas and Luke 'Lycanthrope' Searle invite you to join them for a buffet of blood, a feast of fear, a smorgasbord of sinew in the Racehorse Movies Halloween Special! Cower before our two mongers of terror, and test the very mettle of your sanity as they pitch two tales pulled from the darkest corners of their imaginations. One, the story of a pub with a gruesome history going back generations, steeped in fearsome folklore. In the other, a young girl dabbles in the dark art of Ouija, unknowingly inviting a demonic presence to insinuate itself into her life, and to take dominion over her bloodline...Make yourselves comfy among the entrails, eyeballs and severed limbs (Lloyd assures us they are from the pound shop, please don't be too alarmed) as we bring you witches, wolves, vampires, spirit boards and headlights shining through torso-holes...Until we meet again, splendid listeners, keep out of the shadows, hang garlic in your eaves, and spare a thought for poor Baxter, who should have stayed well clear of the priest hole....Happy Halloween!!

  • Roll up, roll up! It's here! Episode 12 of Racehorse Movies! After 11 (and a bit) weeks of pitches that have taken us from deep beneath the earth to the farthest reaches of outer space, we have come the end of this season. But don't weep into your (free) popcorn and instead stuff your sorrows into a sack, because boy have Luke, Graham and Lloyd 'The Bud' Cotton got a show for you! Firstly, Luke and Graham hold hands and take a windy walk down into the mists of the past to spins yarns over their first trips to the cinema and then...then they get a-pitchin'. And Lawks A-Lawdy do they get to a-pitchin! Every single horse. That's 15 nags, 15 pitches in a riotous season finale. Please feel free to read the next bit in Cheech Marin's voice just like in 'From Dusk Till Dawn'....'We got a ghostly Stan Laurel, we got 'Nam Vets making a stand, we got one-man gangs, we got influencers getting under the skin of their followers, we got the Saftie Brothers running amok with a beloved lanky Peckham chancer...we even got doggone cops and cops gone dogs. If you find dumber movie pitches based on racehorses anywhere else on your favourite streaming platforms then leeeiiisten to eeeeiitt'


    Concessions are free, Lloyd has spooled everything up so get settled in for a rip-roaring end to the first season of Racehorse Movies.


    But wait, what's this? Something moreish this way comes? It’s only Luke’s soundtrack to last week’s all-time pitch for Stiletto: A Billy Joel Fable. That’s right – Luke projected Stiletto into the Mind Cinema, now let Billy Joel perform it for you over on our Spotify

  • It’s time for Episode 11 and this week our boys have cooked up a couple of delectable treats for you in the Mind Cinema! Graham takes us deep into a sun scorched Australia with a gritty tale of a family torn apart, a whole heap of death-by-cow and a race through the unforgiving outback where cattle are worth more than gold. Luke goes slightly mad and delivers a musical/thriller/comedy/biopic of one of The Bronx's finest exports, taking a few teeny liberties with history for a tale of espionage, Berlin, and unexpected love transcending the Iron Curtain. Get yer bums on seats for the penultimate episode of Season 1, as Graham drops enough Aussie slang to make an in-his-prime Paul Hogan blush, and Luke drops a surprise colon!


    As promised, here is Luke's End Of The Road playlist for your listening pleasure!

  • Episode 10 lands with a bang, as Luke lets more blood than the lifts in the Overlook Hotel. He pitches a gritty slice of action, set deep in Appalachia where not all angels have wings - some have hunting rifles. Graham is an agent of sweet chaos, and has a bag of surprises for Luke and the listeners as he brings us animation, war-monsters and a trip back to the 80s with his pitch (pitches?!)...ambassador, you are spoiling us! Settle down in the Mind Cinema, as we enjoy dismemberment, sharing a 'J T Walsh moment', and Graham's rather disarming 'sexy lynx' impression...

Next to screen at the Mind Cinema is a strange Amblinesque adventure from Luke, as he takes us to the quiet English suburb of Acorn Rise, where a new resident harbours strange secrets in his swimming pool...Get yourselves comfy, sit back, and witness two grown men become utterly incapacitated by inadvertent innuendo.
