The panel introduces three sets of brother directing duos: the Mitchells (sci-fi creature features), the Bambis (prestige drama), and the Jorgenson-Gintys (indie arthouse).
"I'm Salmon Jorgenson-Ginty. This is my little baby brother."
"We are responsible for a lot of sci-fi original programming. We made Tarantula Hurricane."
Brody explains object permanence to Keith using a peanut. They discuss shooting 'Tarantula Hurricane' in Chatsworth as a stand-in for Spain, where tarantulas finish building the Sagrada Familia.
"Object permanence is where, you know, when I take a piece of peanut and I put it behind my head, the peanut didn't disappear."
"We shot Chatsworth for all of Spain."
Brody and Keith Mitchell insist they don't live together despite owning a house they call 'the office' where they sleep seven nights a week, 51 weeks a year, while Brody's family lives in San Diego.
"It's first and foremost where we work, and then if we end up falling asleep there, I guess we wake up there."
Brody and Keith Mitchell introduce their Sci-Fi Channel filmography, explaining their creative division of labor: Keith finds the creature, and Brody finds the natural disaster.
"You're the one who always adds the natural disaster, I find the creature."
Brody and Keith Mitchell rapid-fire pitch their upcoming Sci-Fi original movies, including Bee Rain, Jellyfish Sleet, and a nature documentary for Animal Planet called Bear Drought.
"It is The Cheesecake Factory presents Red Robin Tornado, so you know, sort of souring the name of Red Robin."
The Mitchells describe their ambitious Flamingo Rockslide trilogy, which involves bringing back a CGI Carrie Fisher and negotiating with her estate on how 'dead' they can show her.
"We are currently working with the estate about how dead we can show an already dead person, but we are pushing for full death."
The Jorgenson-Ginty brothers pitch a noir thriller follow-up to Babe the pig titled 'The Babe Who Killed Me,' leading to a discussion about the intelligence of pigs on set.
"I don't know who was directing the movie at a certain point. Whether it was me or whether it was the pig."
