Bad Ideas Only is back. And it’s worse than ever.

Episode 13 of ETCH CAST marks the return of Bad Ideas Only—a live script development challenge where the Etch team brings their worst movie pitches to the table… then dares each other to make them viable.

Hosted by Philip Gelatt and joined by Morgan Galen King, Will Battersby, April Merl, Belle Del Sesto, and Lacey Gilleran, this episode features a panel of creative gremlins armed with cursed concepts pulled from late-night Notes apps, half-remembered dreams, and ideas that should have stayed buried.

What starts as jokes mutates into something more dangerous. Momentum builds. Rules dissolve. Someone inevitably says, “Wait… that could work,” and suddenly it’s too late to turn back.

Brainstorming without brakes.Script development without dignity.Hope with a head injury.
