The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back before a brief hiatus for the first half of May and they have two rather underwhelming movies to discuss before, as per the rules of Switch the Pitch, combining them into a new project on the spot.

Available on Spotify and Apple Episode 345 includes: -Netflix down! Twitter bought? Disney booted from self-governing!

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are celebrating Easter with a very special movie about what if Muslim terrorists went back in time to kill Jesus before he was crucified. Yes, amazingly, this movie exists, and it's "Assassin 33 A.D.," also known as "Black Easter," and the guys are discussing it along with the Asylum mockbuster "10 Million B.C." way back when Roland Emmerich's "10,000 B.C." bombed in 2008. Available on Apple and Spotify Episode 344 includes: -Ezra Miller working extra hard to not be employable. -Cronenberg is back to doing what Croneberg do. -Horror flicks "X" and "Choose or Die" are derivative but neither as good or as bad as advertised. -Switch the Pitch -- "10 Million B.C." / "Assassin 33 A.D." -One involves a science team traveling to the past with dinosaurs, the other involves a military team, and scientists, traveling back to the past to kill or save Jesus, so it's only obvious that the combined pitch would be dinosaurs trying to kill Jesus. Surprisingly, both of these schlocky movies earn some respect.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are looking at sci-fi hunts old and new, with 1997's "Future War" that was so bad it was also covered on MST3K and Best of the Worst, and one of Bruce Willis' many new and problematic films, 2021's "Apex," that has new significance to review through now that Willis is retiring from acting for medical reasons.

Truly, this one is a bizarre movie with head-scratching decisions the guys try and unpack, and then they combine both into a new project, which they did previously as a short script they wrote, but now it's a game attempt to expand it into a potential feature. Available on Apple and Spotify Episode 342 includes: -More fallout from Oscar Slapgate 2022. -Ezra Miller running quickly... out of excuses for his bad behavior and may be booted as The Flash. -"Judd Apatow's The Bubble" could have been much funnier, but perhaps it's got enough gags to last. -Here's a shocking surprise: Ben does not hate the next Sony Spider-Man on-its-own film, "Morbius." -Switch the Pitch -- "I, Robot" / "Slow Burn" -The guys re-examine the 2004 Will Smith robot action thriller and find it to be underrated, and they try valiantly to make sense of a very confused "erotic thriller" from 2005, "Slow Burn," that was filmed in 2003, and somehow becomes a story of Rachel Dolezar meets Keyser Soze?
