He didn’t even put a spoiler warning cause no one saw the movie😂😂

[angryX]

The fact that he doesn’t even bother with telling us that there’s spoilers at the beginning really tells us the quality of the movie

More people will be here to watch this Pitch Meeting than the actual movie itself.

"I'm not sure that boy exists." Congratulations, you've just pinpointed literally every Hollywood studio's biggest problem for the last 5-10 years.

Ryan is literally a hero. He watched this movie so we don't have to. He *watched* this movie, let that sink in - actually watched it with his eyes and everything. He paid to sit, probably on his own in an empty theater, and pay attention to the movie. The sacrifices you make for us are remarkable. We salute you!

"Oh they probably shouldn't be heading there" lol. This pitch meeting seems pretty accurate.

I'm one of Cate's biggest fans, but getting her to play a young bounty hunter is like getting Anthony Hopkins to play a ninja.

They could have just released all the cutscenes from Borderlands 1, 2, and 3 in theaters, and it would've done a better job at the box office

My heart rejoices for that little boy out there with vague, positive feelings towards Borderlands

[theguywhoisaustralian]

I was that boy. I kinda played Borderlands when it was a free monthly game on Xbox live years ago. Then when I saw this trailer I was like "Oh yeah, I remember that" And then I sat there, thinking long and hard about whether or not I cared enough to go see it.

I didn't

[aneleganthobo]

The first trailer of borderlands was enough for me to say, "They ruined it, it's trash, and it'll bomb horribly." Now I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong, but luckily for me I'm not and won't need to.

This is one of Ryan’s best pitch meetings. The miscast. The meet cute. The boy who is vaguely into Borderlands. So many solid bits. *chef’s kiss*

[TikkiNikki]

I imagine this is EXACTLY how the pitch went

[mallorycarpinski]

"Who is this movie for...?"
I thought he was going to say "For me" like he didn't in a different pitch. Very emotional moment. That was a twist🥹

[blueberrycracker]

That Mr. Cast joke was impeccable. Great job as always, Ryan.

[DrNiradino]

"it's for a little boy who's a fan of borderlands, and he always wondered why there's no movies. But he's not such a fan that Knows all the stuff because he'd be mad about all the weird decisions we're making"
What an accurate description of Randy Pitchford.

[phillipjones]

that "isn't that little mis-cast" "no it's actually a little Mr. cast" is now my favorite pitch meeting joke

[JuneReed-zi]

I never played Borderlands, nor watched this movie. But I still feel compelled to give my condolences to the fans of this franchise. Especially since Eli Roth was in the director's chair.

[retrofedora]

"oh"
"Which is a big twist"
"Oh..
"That's better"

Ryan just gets better with his skit 😂😂

[ClanImprobable]

"Very exciting!"
"Maybe."

*chef's kiss* Perfection.
