A sketch show pilot by myself and the BCG's own Stuart Laws...
Ripped
A bit hit and miss but some very funny stuff in there.

If you don't mind me asking, what were the misses for you?
The Breakfast Club one, it went on far too long. The De Niro one. *curses memory* There were more I wasn't keen on. Oh, the Scarface one too.
Loved Jaws, The Long Good Friday (was it?) and Bacon. And there may have been another one. *curses memory again*
Fair play, buddy. Agree there's room for some trimming, so I'll take your criticisms on board for the next edit.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN.
Laughed all the way through that sketch!
Thanks, Brett, Stuart will be happy to hear that.
Ok it's very slick and has a very pleasing Victor Lewis Smith, Adult Swim, Liquid TV feel.
1 Kraken no question excelent, right length etc
2 Breakfast Club self indulgent, too long and a really odd almost perverse joke
3 Charlie says, very funny, well put together. But isn't this going to date?
4 Deniro very good and very, very cleverly matched to what he's saying. Stewart Laws bit goes on a little bit and doesn't really conclude. Perhaps if he got a little bit cross but in a British style?
5 Bacon racing, weird and fantastic.
6 Wickd, perfect nothing to add other than sequels please? Schindlers list maybe....?
7 Robert Deniro biscuits excelent, maybe a twist that he got rich teas andthat's what sets Deniro off?
8 Terminator joke. Sorry a bit self indulgent and obscure.
I Hope this helps.

Thanks, soots, that's very helpful... and detailed!
Oh yes, the Charlie one was another good one.

Oh the material inspired detailed feedback unlike most of the shit in showcase.
Sorry but you're all going to fail horribly.
The Wickd thing looks like it could be an especially easy viral campaign?
Add it to footage of genocide, rape/murders, high school massacres, messy suicides. You'd be hated but you'd be noticed.
There's a whole series of the WKD sketches in the pipeline already, some of them spectacularly nasty. The idea would be that the WKD sketch, like the movie anachronisms, telephone calls, animations and movie remixes, would be runners that occur week by week.
Well I could picture them drawing people to your YouTube channel.
Good fun, but the segments would work much better if they were a lot shorter IMO
Really enjoyed that. Great work, all involved.
I have an idea for a skit along similar lines to these. Would love to pitch it in your direction.
Bo.
