Get ready to have your mind well and truly pretzeled as comedy duo EGG aka Emily Lloyd-Saini and Anna Leong-Brophy join the pod to brainstorm 'mind-bending films' with Bec and Rory. Featuring the story of a gap year trip that gets extra trippy, and a conspiratorial thriller that appears to be almost entirely made up of twists by the time the team are done with it.

Wise-guy Dane Baptiste meets Bec, Rory and Matt Highton in an abandoned meatpacking warehouse to talk business and make with the funnies in this episode all about brand new movie ideas based on the "Gangster Thriller" genre. Featuring a culinary mob drama centred around the opposite of food porn, and an intergalactic political organised crime epic which, if we're honest, is far too good an idea for this podcast and should actually get picked up by a movie studio immediately.

Jayde Adams joins Bec, Georgia and Rory for a spooky session coming up with some ideas for the category "Bingeworthy Supernatural TV Shows".Features an idea in which crazy, creepy things finally happen to someone normal, a ghost with a decidedly un-ghosty name, and a second-coming themed tale started, for no apparent reason, by a "lippy owl". All that, plus extensive references to Buffy, because when Jayde says she's a fan of something, it turns out she REALLY means it.

Lou Sanders joins Bec, Rory and Jon for a cozy half hour of whimsical romance. At least, that's the plan.Featuring a story about love and redemption with a shoe-horned Lou Sanders cameo and an inadvertently disturbing tale of a marriage gone right, gone wrong, and then gone right again. All that, plus some flailing attempts to guess the plot of "Mystic Pizza". Lovely.

Get prepping, cos Bec and Rory are joined by Michael Legge and Paul Foxcroft for a nosedive into the chaotic world of "post-apocalypse films". From 'Mad Max' to 'A Quiet Place', it's a crowded and sometimes rather random field, which probably explains why this episode produces two of the most bizarre ideas we've seen to date. Featuring a dystopian world in which gambling and country music are the only cultural and economic games in town, and an accidental time travelling adventure to a land where giant, sentient salad has taken over. This episode's a weird one, we're not going to lie.

Marcus Brigstocke and Rachel Parris join the BYW creative team along with Paul Foxcroft and Producer Rory to brainstorm ideas for Suspenseful TV Dramas. The team's homework was to watch season 1, episode 1 of Breaking Bad and they are surprised to discover that the whole thing is somewhat "trouser heavy", leading to sartorial theories and extended pant-based analysis. This episode's pitches include a celebrity cult discovered to be worshipping an evil and disturbingly greasy master, an unassuming IT worker hits on a devious money making scheme, and a British 1980s comedy icon goes to criminal lengths to alleviate a rampant skin condition.

Comedian and presenter Bec Hill and writer and comedian Jon Gracey join Georgia and Rory for our first lockdown episode, as they brainstorm ideas for the rather vaguely-named "Party On!" category. The team watch 'Rick and Morty' for research, leading to an in-depth discussion about the definition of "Party On!" and a brief dive into some rather dubious online reviews. Featuring a dark web aphrodisiac with an unfortunate catch, "golf comedy" finally catching up with the times and pitching for the millennial market, and the hard partying-meets-politics genre crossover we've all been waiting for. Featuring Bec Hill, Jon Gracey, Georgia Maguire and Rory Binks. Produced by Joe Grace and Martin Trickey.

Comedian Adam Hess and actor and radio producer David Brain (aka Dapper Dave from The Chris Evans Breakfast Show) are back on the pod with Georgia and Rory for this surprisingly sinister brainstorming session. This episode's pitches include a government-trained super soldier adapting to his new high school life, a time-skipping look at British teenagers and their attempts at making the best of a disappointing night out, and a visit to a surreal world where teenagers are put to death for failing to find love.

Rory is joined by Becky, Georgia and Nim for a brainstorm session that inevitably ends up emphasising the "hopeless" in "Imaginative Sci-fi & Fantasy For Hopeless Romantics". This episode's pitches feature a lonely, but inexplicably sentient, franking machine with a lust for adventure; sexual liberation colliding with magical realism and appalling maths skills in an enchanted woodland; and a really horny alien.

Despite previous experiences, Michael Stranney, Becky James (aka BambinoBecky) and Mark Davison for some reason still agree to brainstorm "Scandalous Reality TV" ideas with Producer Rory for this episode. In which long-term couples get the chance to re-live their first dates with a sexy twist; we add a splash of danger to a tired-out dating show format - plus a sexy twist; and office workers get the chance to climb the greasy pole of success... with a sexy twist.
