The Pitch (2006)

30-Second Bunnies Theatre and The 'Wood are sophomoric attempts next to the graduate-level dead-on humor of The Pitch. This comedy series pegs the smug banter of a Hollywood movie producer with his wannabe sycophants (scriptwriters, students, and actors) in 13 one- or two-minute Flash animation episodes: Snakes on a Plane (yet another Samuel Jackson movie pitch turns into Snakes on a Microbus), Film Students (who knew the red button was to call for Security?), Ninja (a real-life ninja demonstrates aggressive negotiations), Penguins (try to imagine Death March of the Penguins), Shatner (the morality crowd funds William Shatner in. a. Trekkian. reading. of. the. Bible. Spock!), Back in Black (Paul McCartney, "the sole surviving Beatle," and some other guy discuss movie concepts), Pirates (porn plus pirates equals a movie contract), Eastwood (Clint is forced to westernize his boxing script), Playa De Los Muertos (who wants beach-bimbo zombies?), Click (Adam Sandler is schmoozed over Jewish takes on Click), Hannibal Breached (Hannibal Lecter is born hungry), Brown Curry (Spike Lee tours Bollywood), and Guinness on Ice (Alec Guinness fulfills a contractual acting obligation posthumously). My favorites feature Shatner, Paul and Ringo, Sandler, and Eastwood. TV-MA for adult themes. IW. 4 stars.
