Ahir Shah Wants To Remake The Breakfast Club with the Original Cast!

Ahir Shah is Jimmy’s guest this week. And Ahir’s subgenre is… Class Is In Session!

So we’re talking classic high school movies, why we accept watching adults playing teenagers, and the weird things we thought were normal thirty years ago. Ahir manages to pull out a hell of a concept for a film. But we have to wait 20 years to release it - will it be worth the wait? Enjoy!

Where does Nick Mohammed’s mind go when asked to make an ‘Everybody’s Home For The Holidays’ film? What’s the narrative arc for Romesh Ranganathan’s ‘BRB Crying’ tearjerker? What on earth would Michelle Wolf’s ‘Coming of Age animal tale’ look like? Find out on The Big Pitch. Listen on all podcast platforms and watch on the Netflix is a Joke YouTube Channel.

The Big Pitch is a co-production by Netflix and BBC Studios Audio.
