The Broken Elevator: Recent Episodes
thebrokenelevator.co.uk
Welcome to The Broken Elevator, where we pitch the films Hollywood's too scared to make. Join Tam, Deeby and Wumi as they pitch their dream sequels, prequels, reboots and more to some of Tinseltown's best (and worst) offerings.
New Episodes every Monday.
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
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).

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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?

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? Email your suggestions to brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com, or tweet us @BrokenEPod. http://twitter.com/tamdiman http://twitter.com/wumzum http://twitter.com/yesdeeby This week’s Blog: https://brokenelevatorpod.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/41-shaft
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. Have you seen any “Level 10” Japanese films?

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?

Tam unveils the Broken Elevator Cinematic Universe as Deeby and Wumi assemble teams of characters from previous episodes. It’s like a versus episode, but it’s not?

Tam opens up his Big Book of Stories (aka The Internet) and tells Deeby three tales he thinks should be the next Frozen. Or Moana. Is Moana good? We don’t know, we haven’t seen it.

Tam looks back at Doctor Strange’s 1963 comic book debut in this week’s episode, and tries to turn an unrelated story in the same issue into Marvel’s next big franchise. But-- he hasn’t read the comic. With Wumi’s help, a two line synopsis for ‘We Search The Stars!’ and a bunch of nameless characters, can Tam make a good story? Sort of.

This week, Tam takes on the impossible: he attempts to pitch a good sequel to 2015’s Fantastic Four.

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.

http://brokenelevatorpod.wordpress.com/2016/06/13/11-the-boondocks Tam’s away this week as Wumi pitches a feature-length film for the animated show ‘The Boondocks’.

https://brokenelevatorpod.wordpress.com/2016/06/05/10-justice-league Tam digs into the Hollywood archives for this week’s pitch, bringing the real script that almost became 2008’s Justice League Mortal, directed by Mad Max’s George Miller. The gang debut their Bat-voices, Deeby is introduced to the Black-Green Lantern, and there’s a weird time jump just over a minute in, don’t worry about it. What (real) unmade film should Tam pitch next? Email your suggestions to brokenelevatorpod@gmail.com, or you can find us on http://twitter.com/BrokenEPod and http://facebook.com/brokenelevatorpod.
It's another pitch-off, as the gang each pitch their idea for a 'Die Hard'-style action film. Tam heads to Shoreditch for “Die Hard with Hipsters”, Deeby gets animated with his animal-themed “Die Hard on a Farm”, and Wumi takes on 80’s bullies in “Die Hard in a School”. Deeby wants a catchphrase for everyday use.

Wumi brings Pokémon - or "Pocket Monsters" - into the real world in this week's pitch.
