She's only gone and bloody done it.... done another goddamn Taylor Swift pitch.
Tansy is drawn once again to her muse(?) TayTay for a pitch from her latest album, which Charles has refused to listen to, even in the lead up to the recording. Expect twists and turns, celebrity cameos, and musing about whether it's ever ethical to pretend to be a serial killer to get away with murder.
Songs Featured:
no body no crime (Taylor Swift feat. HAIM)
evermore (Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver)
ivy (Taylor Swift)
willow (Taylor Swift feat. John Mulaney)

You know you love a pretty girl, with a kitchen knife...
We are so excited to be joined by our good friend Zaina for this week's episode of "Whose Tangent Is It Anyway?" Tansy is taking the reins to pitch a tense, sexy (?) thriller based on Betty Who's "Mama Say", a song that Charles just straight up doesn't like. Expect twists, turns, and multiple tangents based on a single actor's name.
Songs Featured:
Mama Say (Betty Who)
Nürburgring (Hanz Zimmer)

I was handy with a blaster, my father's 303.
I fought for something final - not the right to disagree.
We're taking our tenuous relationship with copyright law to a new level and pitching a whole Star Wars TV series based on Leonard Cohen's Happens to the Heart.

Shit boys sure love the 1975, don't they?

Tell me, Will... is Hannibal camp?

Songs featured:
Bite (Troye Sivan)
The John Cena Recorder Vine -
Tell you all a story about franchises and the thief in the night.
Tansy love heist movies! Charles doesn't care for them! But she's going to make him care by the end of this pitch, by weaving a tale about failed YA franchises, disillusioned child stars and stealing Daniel Radcliffe's prize diamond collection.

Joker and the Thief
Chase the Feeling
Woman
New Moon Risisng -
I was a teenaged anarchist, looking for a beloved childhood author who didn't turn out to be a TERF.

Can you feel it coming?
Saro has felt it coming in the air, lived through the 'rona and rewatched The Seventh Seal to bring you his pitch for In The Air Tonight. Call George Clooney, get Daniel Radcliffe to practice his southern accent and cock your glock in preparation for this rollercoaster of philosophy, ethics and drum breaks.

Dunno how you've been spending your isolation but Charles has been getting into Animal Crossing. Not the actual game, just the drama.
Also sorry about the audio quality.
Songs Featured:
Animal (Muse)
Fight Night (Hans Zimmer & Junkie XL) -
Hi, my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way....
The terrible fanfiction that launched a thousand dramatic readings is back, like you've never seen it before. Tansy takes you on an adventure through Undertale Tumblr, the NYT Bestseller List, Vegas magic shows and Fanfiction.net in 2006, all in search of an answer to the internet mystery of the decade - who wrote My Immortal? And did they really mean for it to be so bad?
Plus special guest Pierce Wilcox, a bigfoot hunter, a discussion of how sitting with boys makes you cool (in 2005) and possibly the first ever use of the phrase "a snake eating its own ass".

We're back, in miniature form!
ngl Charles had an idea for a new segment and the new episode was already too long so here's the stuff we'd normally chuck in the garbage pile but here we are. Enjoy? We'll be back in full on Wednesday.
Songs Featured
Six Feet Apart - Alec Benjamin
Human Touch - Betty Who -
We're back! Kinda!
In these ~uncertain times~ we're working on bringing you some new pitches, but for now, you can kick back, relax and enjoy the utter insanity of the stuff we normally cut from our episodes! That's right - in spite of their rambling, stream of consciousness style, our episodes are actually heavily edited. These are some of the best (and definitely not all) of our tangents from the last 25+ episodes, occasionally featuring our good friend Saro.
