I used to think life was a tragedy... but it turns out it's much worse.

Charles is going above and beyond to pitch a film that is not just an adaption of Alec Benjamin's twisty pop song "If I Killed Someone For You", but also a punch up of Joker (dir. Todd Phillips, 2019). Moderately successful comedian Richard (Bill Hader) decides to change up his career by trying murder, but when everyone mistakes his genuine attempts at homicide as a new bit, he rockets to comedy stardom (and murder ineptitude).

Plus the sick and twisted origin of this podcast, Tansy's disbelief at every single plot element of Joker, and our undying love of Demi Lardner.

Alec Benjamin is older than either of us.
