    This week, London Hughes joins Jimmy Carr, and her subgenre is… Teen Supernatural Drama. Maybe our most combative episode yet? London comes into Jimmy’s office to pitch a strictly caucasian film. Along the way, they argue about ghosts, doppelgangers, Jimmy being a ‘spicy white’ and why black people never go camping. And Florence Pugh. It’s a very funny episode. Enjoy!

    Chris McCausland Pitches a Revenge Thriller with a Blind Assassin and a Talking Dog!
    Jul 23 2025
    Jimmy's guest this week is Chris McCausland! And the subgenre he's working with is … One Person Army. One of our most chaotic episodes yet, Chris pitches an idea that is absolutely nothing like John Wick (nothing at all like it so stop even thinking that). He casts himself as the main character, there’s a magic dog talking beyond the grave, he repeatedly pitches a tagline that Jimmy hates and yet somehow, there might be not one but two great film ideas in there. Where does Nick Mohammed’s mind go when asked to make an ‘Everybody’s Home For The Holidays’ film? What’s the narrative arc for Romesh Ranganathan’s ‘BRB Crying’ tearjerker?
