Because You Watched
Join comedian Bec Hill and Producer Rory as they attempt to come up with original and award-worthy new ideas for movies and TV shows with the help of some top comedians. Each episode sees Bec and Rory join forces with two guests in an attempt to brainstorm their way to greatness without getting sidetracked, confused, or stopping for directions. Sometimes this strategy works, often it's an utter train wreck, but it's always a flippin' good laugh.
