Can we do a "weird/funny movie pitch" thread? Feeling silly. Must be original.

Here’s mine.
The year is 1983. Little House on the Prairie has ended its run as one of NBC’s highest rated scripted dramas. Thriller is the best selling album worldwide. Michael Jackson and Michael Landon must switch lives as Landon develops his passion project, tv show Highway to Heaven, and Jackson is about to appear in an NBC special with his brothers where he will wear a rhinestone encrusted single white glove and debut the moonwalk to an audience of 47 million. It is a critical moment in both men’s lives and careers as Landon struggles to bring stirring tales of God working in people’s lives in modern Los Angeles to television, and Jackson will win an Emmy for his performance of Billie Jean. What follows is a heartwarming and hilarious tale as both men put on the other’s shoes and fight for the art they believe in.
I'd like a movie comprised entirely of "That Guy" actors. Like, David Morse, Walton Goggins, John C. McGinley, Richard Schiff, James Hong, and so on and so forth, all just hanging out and being ambiguously avuncular or menacing, and you're never quite sure if they're going to dispense sage advice or reveal that they've been the true villain all along. Like a way more confusing and laid back version of The Expendables.
Would be funny to have them all be the side character and confusing when conflict arises since there is no main character to take the lead
