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)

Knives Out! (String Quartet in G Minor) (Nathan Johnson)

The Final Game (Carlos Rafael Rivera)

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)

It's all right and it's coming along, it wasn't 2020 when she wrote this song... 

This week we are joined by our good mate Lucinda - writer, director and one half of "Out of Our Vulcan Minds" - as she pitches a horror movie meets spooky rom com based on Maxine Nightingale's disco hit, Right Back Where We Started From.

Expect Umbrella Academy chat, Star Wars vs Star Trek discourse, fros, rollerblades, disco heaven and the disco inferno.

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. Expect spy drama, double crosses, cool but morally bankrupt uniforms and more women than there will ever be in a single Star Wars property (two).

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

In our first TikTok pitch, Charles is turning Lizzy McAlpine's earworm into a film about time travel, fatalism, bad relationships and the pain of loving a band that shit people also love! I don't think people read these descriptions so I'm putting minimal effort in!

This week we are all about giving people what they deserve. We're giving Margot the Batman movie without ableism that she DESERVES. We're giving Poison Ivy the character driven origin movie she DESERVES. We're giving Toxic the twisted, prestige action/comic book political thriller it DESERVES. And we're giving the people our first episode to pass the Bechdel test because IT'S WHAT THEY DESERVE.

I'm putting together a team... 

Charles, Pierce and Tansy are back with an entire season worth of cons and grifts, following in the footsteps of Tansy's pitch for Marina and the Diamond's How To Be A Heartbreaker. The dysfunctional found family of Heartbreakers are ready to lie, cheat, steal and (most importantly) con their way to glory, and maybe even find out Mark's real name on the way. We've got quick ideas and a fully fledged episode about Roko's Basilisk, with even more coming next week!

How To Be A Heartbreaker (Marina and the Diamonds)
