8	The ''Screen Rant Pitch Meetings'' (originally titled ''Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience - Screen Rant Pitch Meetings'') are a series of comedic web videos originally by Creator/ScreenRant though they are now on their own channel Pitch Meeting.

10	Creator/RyanGeorge plays a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Screenwriter]] pitching an existing movie to a Hollywood {{Producer\|s}} ([[ActingForTwo also played by Ryan George, without his glasses]]). Most of the humor comes from the Screenwriter's enthusiastic recounting of a famous movie or TV show in a pitch, often [[AccentuateTheNegative accentuating the flaws]] to the Producer, who in turn is adept at spotting the problematic aspects of whatever he's being pitched but is too much of a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive profit-obsessed]] [[ExtremeDoormat doormat]] to actually force any change (unless it's [[ExecutiveMeddling for the worse]]). Further humor comes from the fact that the Screenwriter's story decisions often bring serious questions about his thought process.
11
12	Ryan George himself has mentioned on [[https://itsryangeorge.com/portfolio/pitch-meetings/ his website]] that the original idea for the ''Pitch Meetings'' series came from Creator/JohnMulaney's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKwMnnuN7-g standup routine]] where he describes re-watching ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'' as an adult. Much of the routine takes the form of two execs discussing the movie's pitch together.

14	The videos, which are normally uploaded on Tuesdays, were originally only found on Creator/ScreenRant
15	's [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL--PgETgAz5FGoatB9KQzbnpv0bgZqU2l YouTube channel]], but later [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Kq-yEt1iYsbUzNOoIRK0g got their own channel]].

17	Compare with WebVideo/ScreenJunkies' ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'', which the show has referenced (and guest starred in).
