CA Hoots

Cate and Ben talk about some ideas for wedding comedies 

Cate and Ben are back after a brief hiatus to talk about more fake ideas for movies 

Cate and Ben are back from their respective journeys to talk about lessons learned in filmmaking, movies and truckers and geese and some recent events in the news. CA Hoots phase 2 has begun.

Cate and Ben each prepare to leave LA for a while but find time to squeeze in an episode about organ delivery and weed and film set PAs

A very basic dick joke ends up inspiring a nice variety of ideas. Ben and Cate contribute equally and overall it's a pretty good episode.

A good episode with stuff about killer mushrooms, drag queens, BBQ cook offs and traumatic memories. Also Beyonce.

The episode starts with a prompt and ends with Cate bringing up an idea about Ben's purple couch

Cate and Ben apologize for not posting an episode last week and also talk for a while about the intricacies of being a writer in preproduction. Then a handful of ideas about biker women come up.

A real rollercoaster of an episode. It starts strong then gets sleepy after Cate and Ben eat pizza, but they find a fun idea at the end about furries.

First time recording in Cate's apartment! Lots of ideas for movies about coats and fonts and some ideas for video games that teach people which fonts are bad. Also happy birthday to Cate!

Cate and Ben are joined by Nate Matteson to talk about his career as a manager and now producer and also to riff on ideas for movies and TV shows about steak houses, rogue DNA experts, and dental fetishes.

A listener suggestion inspires a discussion that includes topics such as Britney Spears, sex work, Bob Barker, the pleasures of back scratching and so much more! Most of the good ideas are Cate's and at one point Ben googles "who played the male lead in The Truth About Cats and Dogs?"

Cate and Ben go back to the classic CA Hoots format. Cate has a good idea for a movie title while stuck in LA traffic. A listener email turns out to be a good prompt. Ben talks a lot.

Cate and Ben are joined by guest Daniel Shar. Together they talk about Daniel's experiences in film and comedy as well as ideas for a variety of movies about plumbers, sex workers, fast food, BDSM, etc.

This episode is all ideas for movies that have the word "cop" in the title. Cate and Ben also read some ideas from a listener and get into a long discussion of the Coen Brothers and which of their scripts would have sold as specs.

Cate and Ben suffered through watching Ivana's Trump's movie For Love Alone and tried to find entertaining ways to talk about it. This episode is absolutely better than the movie itself.

Part 2 with Evan Dickson. Things get wackier. An entire horror franchise about water, killer oxygen, legalized drugs, the ghost of a sugar daddy, lots of foreskin jokes and so much more!

Evan Dickson is the first ever guest on the podcast! Lots of serial killer talk and stuff about therapists and former presidents.

Cate and Ben start talking about a movie called The WASPS and then end up talking about a bunch of other stuff like writing for specific actors and also behavioral architecture somehow.

Short and sweet. It turns out "The Organist" is a pretty versatile title for a movie.

First recording of 2019! Cate and Ben get silly and Ben gets way too excited to talk about rebooting Air Bud.

Cate and Ben talk about ideas for a movie called "Mini Agents" or "Many Agents" depending on how you look at it. That leads to a discussion of books about screenwriting and the various work practices they suggest.

On this episode Cate has several fantastic ideas for Christmas movies and Ben sounds really tired for some reason.

In the first episode, Cate and Ben discuss various ideas for a movie titled "Witch Justice" or "Which Justice"
