“From the mind behind the mega-hit Syfy show you’ve probably never heard of (EUREKA) comes a tribute to all those no-budget Syfy original movies and the “so bad, they’re good” films that inspired them. Move over Roger Corman, step back Ed Wood, make way on your weekend programming schedule Mr. Stern, because here comes Andrew Cosby’s 365 DAYS OF SCI-FI.
And it’s all happening here! Each day, your friends at CHUD will bring you a brand new bad movie pitch — the best of the worst title Cosby can come up with, no matter where he’s at or what he’s doing, rain or shine, drunk or sober. That’s a whole year of the quality concepts you’ve come to expect from the network that brought you MANSQUITO and SHARKTOPUS.”
And now… DAY SIXTY-ONE:
“Two months down, and I’m still fighting the good fight…or at least a mediocre one. And somehow, today’s title felt like the perfect way to jump into March Madness.”
– Andy Cosby (Twitter)
“Just the Bear Necessities.”
Pitch:
In an attempt to get exotic animals to breed better in captivity, a Japanese pharmaceutical company tests an experimental designer drug on one of the giant pandas at the San Diego Zoo. At first the results are promising, but the drug soon proves to have some rather unusual side effects, including granting the animals the unique ability to mate with any and every creature they come across. Worse, the offspring of these oversexed pandas seem to gestate at an incredibly accelerated rate, demonstrating both advanced intellect and uncontrolled aggression. In no time, San Diego finds itself overrun by hyper-intelligent hybrid pandas, forcing the rest of mankind to the bottom of the food chain.
Nick Says: Eloquent. Spiritual. SEXY. Panda Bears on the sexual hunt turns my screws just right, and with Ralf Moeller as the park ranger trying to save the day my ticket is bought.
