Bit Party

Jared and Brendan check in from their COVID-19 quarantine to give an update on the Bit Party episodes on the horizon. Times are changing but the Cotta Bros aren't going to stop making new content!  With that principle in mind; it's time to spread our wings! Listen to a promo for a new show called Brothers without Borders, our foray into the travel business and an opportunity to hear from friends and peers that love to explore. Look out for Brothers without Borders coming soon wherever you listen to podcasts!

The Cotta Brothers are reunited and it feels so good! This is an extra special BPGTTM for two reasons: 1) All four brothers (including the traitorous Landis) are back in the studio and 2) It marks the end of one of film's most beloved sagas.  The weight of the world's expectations fell on this movie, can Disney pull off an ending fit for a Jedi Master, or have fans moved on to baby Yoda?  The Cotta brother debate everything on this episode so beware of spoilers and beware of awesome movie pitches to keep the Star Wars universe going for a long long time.

For this episode, the Cotta Brother's invite their talented friend and producer T Coop back on Bit Party, to watch Platoon. They take a deep look at Oliver Stone's stunning and tragic Vietnam period piece, and marvel at a young Willam Dafoe. Then the million dollar pitch: a life after the horrors of war, a young King and his loyal queen. An unexpectedly wise protagonist fights the man to save his reputation. Hope this episodes gives all our listeners something to enjoy as they travel for the holidays.

On this first of two spooky szn episodes, Bit Party heads to drizzly, dreary, Asheville Oregon. We pay a visit to the Pink Palace; a mansion with a dark past but a new resident.

Bit Party is back to the theater to check out Spike Lee's latest emotionally captivating and thought provoking film: BlacKkKlansman. It's a true story about a black cop infiltrating the KKK with the help of his Jewish partner.

It's a Wonderful Life leads us to a romantic holiday pitch about George Bailey's little gingersnap, Zuzu. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Cotta Brothers! Thanks for all the support so far this season.

The Cotta Boys are in San Diego CA visiting the ancestral manse and paying homage to the internet's most meme worthy movie. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy put on Oscar winning voice performances in an animated classic that will have you wondering how coked up the Academy was that year. The brothers then pitch a film about one, Baby Bear, that goes on a journey of self-discovery and heroism, hopefully Dreamworks won't botch this one.

Jared and Brendan have decided to become IMDb consultants for new and emerging stars of TV and Cinema (and Video Games). Our cousin and former Bit Party guest, Jayme Lake, is fresh off a new role on Nickelodeon's I Am Frankie and a voice role in Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2, so its a perfect time to shape up her IMDb trivia section.  If you have an IMDb page that needs some work call the Cotta Brother's; no shining star should have a dull bio section.

Happy spooky season to all, from the Cotta Brothers. We hope your Halloween is full of frights and fun.  On this very special horror movie episode we visit the town of Derry and live out one of Stephen King's most beloved nightmares. Pennywise the dancing clown is a shape shifting maniac and we can't get enough of his kooky antics. We pitch a film about a sheep farmer that has fought Pennywise once before and lived to tell the tale.

On this episode we invite our long lost Cotta Brother, Arthur, to discuss his favorite cocaine themed movie. Our group muses over the pros and cons of a life as a drug smuggler. Eventually we pitch a movie about the flamboyant yet grizzled origin of Derek Foreal or Pee Wee Herman...  - its hard to separate the two. Needless to say we have met our Paul Reubens quota for the season. Arthur can be followed on instagram @lordlaflare

This week the Cotta Brothers have a special guest, their cousin, Jayme Lake! We watch Tim Burton's first full length feature, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Then we pitch a surprisingly heartfelt film about an unlikely hero and his trucker mom.

The Cotta Boys face betrayal in this episode, but press on without one of the original Bit Party-ers. They also take on their first full-length animated feature. We feel like Walt Disney releasing Snow White, which is fitting because we are seeking those Disney dollars in this Mulan themed pitch. We are hearing crickets, but in China that means good luck is coming!

The Cotta Brothers jump in their DeLorean, gun it to 88MPH, and explore this classic film that defined 80's cinema. The Brothers pitch a movie all about the eccentric time traveler Doc Brown, and yes it spans time and space.  Produced by T Coop

The Cotta Boys are back by popular demand with a new season of Bit Party. A Season 2, if you will. We break into the DC universe with the first in Christopher Nolan's epic trilogy, the origin of the Batman. Unsatisfied with that we dig deeper into the history of Bruce Wayne and pitch a film about his vigilante ancestors. I guess it runs in the family.  Bit Party is sounding better than ever before thanks to our talented Producer T Coop, and we are looking sexier than ever thanks to the amazing logo design by Elvis James

Season one closes out with a modern Disney classic, no not Frozen, Iron Man. Tony Stark teaches us that while its not nearly as lucrative, building a super suit to inflict vigilante justice is more fulfilling than selling weapons to terrorists. The Cotta Brothers may love super hero movies but we are in this biz for the Oscars baby, so we pitched a tear-jerker about life in a war torn village (with just a dash of Marvel heroics).  All good things come to and end which is why Bit Party and the Cotta Brothers will be back in a few months with new episodes! Until then look for some mini pods and shorts on this channel. Thanks for listening!

Merry Christmas from the Cotta Brothers!  In this episode we introduce a new Christmas tradition that we hope will become a staple of your holiday season.  If you're anything like us you've had A Christmas Story playing on TBS all day long.  Because it's repeated ad nauseum every year we've decided to devote an episode to this holiday classic not just this year, but every year.  With Ralphie's internal monologue still fresh in your memories we invite you to sit back, relax, and take a break from your inlaws as we pitch a new Christmas classic.

The Cotta Brothers learn the real meaning of Christmas via this Dr. Seuss Classic brought to life by Jim Carrey. We didn't need to have all our possession stolen to know that the holidays aren't about slutty capitalism and merch made in Malaysia. The holidays are about being with the ones you love; speaking of which enjoy the first Bit Party recorded with all 4 brothers in the same room. Happy Holiday's everyone, lots of love from Jared, Brendan, Marshall, and Landis.   Footnote: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/til-death-do-us-blart/id1059007762?mt=2 Shoutout to the podcast mentioned in the episode: Til Death Do Us Blart.  Tim Batt, Guy Montgomery, and the McElroy discuss Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 every Thanksgiving.  It's a hilarious podcast hosted by very talented, hilarious people.

The Cotta Boys debate if Neo is really "the One" and discuss the pros and cons of taking the red pill. Strap into the Nebuchadnezzar and open your third eye because their movie pitch is about to teach you the meaning of the phrase "woke AF".

If you thought Michael Bay lacked the emotional intelligence to capture the heartfelt substance of self sacrifice and saving humanity, well you'd be right. Luckily the Cotta Boys don't wanna close their eyes, they don't wanna fall asleep, because they have a movie pitch that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster and have your heart burning up as it reenters the earths atmosphere. #WhoisFreddyNoonan

The Cotta Brothers confront a cursed student film to bring you another spooky episode of Bit Party. We close out the Halloween season with a movie pitch that stretches across the Dreamworks universe and delivers a long overdue origin story. We hope you have a fun and safe Halloween.

The spooky season has the Cotta Brothers binging on some creepy classics. Okay, Beetlejuice isn't so scary but our horror movie pitch is out of this world. We hope you enjoy this first of two Halloween spectaculars.

The Cotta Brothers get a chance to come back for a second episode and take a look at Indiana Jones' first adventure.  The movie we pitch is a 2 for 1 special and takes us back to that mysterious storage facility that houses the government's coolest ancient artifacts.

The Cotta Brothers debut the Bit Party podcast with a movie pitch that will revitalize the overdone POTC franchise. Buckle up and remain seated for an adventure that's sure to be the next big Disneyland attraction.
