Pitch Shift

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.

Song Featured:

This Year (The Mountain Goats)

What do you want? My god. Probably more queer and trans people in romcoms.

We're back with our last regular episode before the c-word virus kills us all, so it's time to kick back, relax and enjoy Tansy's high school romcom about Alex, a neurotic teen who wants their boyfriend to break up with them so bad that they'll set up him up with someone else. It's a heartfelt teen comedy about making your partner cheat on you! What's not to love?

Songs Featured:

Fvck Somebody (The Wrecks)

Freaking Out (The Wrecks)

Turn It Up (The Wrecks)

Revolution (The Wrecks)

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, and our condolences to any trans people who lost track of time and tried to rob a bank with their normal powers of invisibility on that day.

Ever watched Freaky Friday and thought "this, but sad"?

Charles has.

Songs featured:

Like To Be You (Shawn Mendes ft. Julia Michaels)

Falling For Boys (Julia Michaels)

Shouldn't Have Said It (Julia Michaels)

Hurt Somebody (Noah Kahan & Julia Michaels)

It's been a long week between parts of this pitch....

But it's here! The second half of Tansy's ill advised wizard murder pitch! Set to a song from Furious 7 because why the hell not? Detective Esi Addo is on the hunt for a serial killer who leaves no cause of death, but her investigation is being "helped" by mysterious government agent Hollister Crane, who knows more about the murders than she should. As Esi dives deeper into the case, she discovers that nope, it's not a conspiracy, magic is real and there's a whole lot of wizard supremacists who want her dead and she's just gotta deal cos she's a regular ass muggle.

Songs Featured:

See You Again (Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth)

Hedwig's Theme (John Williams)

Power (Kanye West)

It's been a long day, without you my friend...

In honour of la familia, we're mixing things up this week at Pitch Shift and pitching a brand spanking new instalment of an existing franchise. Whip smart detective Esi Addo is on the hunt for a serial killer who leaves no cause of death, but her investigation is being "helped" by mysterious government agent Hollister Crane, who knows more about the murders than she should. As Esi dives deeper into the case, she begins to suspect Crane might be the murderer, but how do you catch a killer who can cover her own tracks?

Wait which franchise is this? You'll have to listen to find out, but rest assured - it makes Charles mad.

Songs Featured:

See You Again (Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth)

Sky Battle (Alexandre Desplat)

I know I'm bad at communication so this episode description is gonna suck.

Come along for the adventure as the agents of HAIM take on neo-Nazis and break hearts.

Songs Featured:

The Wire (HAIM)

Don't Save Me (HAIM)

Now I'm In It (HAIM)

Want You Back (HAIM)

I Need A Hero (Bonnie Tyler)

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just bad.

Our latest pitch is a celebration of swashbuckling archeologist heroes, and an attempt to create a new one out of the one song that is always guaranteed to get white people turnt.

The Killers Songs Featured:

- Mr Brightside

- Spaceman

- Shot at the Night

- Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll

The boys were waiting... but now they're back....

In our first ever Pitch Shift sequel, Charles takes the world that Tansy built in her pitch for Milkshake (and Boys) and completely Rian Johnsons it. After their terrifying ordeal in The Yard, the Boys have finally returned home - but the home they return to is not the one they left, and The Yard has changed them in ways they can't explain. And what made them go to The Yard in the first place?

It's a full 90 minutes of Boys, and we're lovin it.

Songs Featured:

The Boys Are Back In Town (Thin Lizzy)

The Boys Are Back In Town (The Cardigans)

Milkshake (Kelis)

Juice (Lizzo)

Lacrimosa (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

In my head, I did everything right...

Tansy attempts to address a grievous mistake made in podcasts pasts with this pitch for a sadish indieish funnyish drama based on Lorde's Supercut. When struggling cinematographer Ivy is asked to shoot the passion project of her one successful film school classmate, she figures it'll be a few weeks of mindless drama - but when the scripts start to err a little close to reality, she's forced to bite the hand that feeds her.

We're doing the best we Kelly Marie Can.

Lorde Songs Featured:

Supercut

Still Sane

Magnets

Homemade Dynamite

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of loving everywhere, so please don't shoot me, I'm very rich, PLEASE!

Charles is back to pitch a Brian De Palmer style erotic thriller about an assassin who must kill the son of a prominent politician, who happens to be very attractive and probably played by Oscar Isaac.

Give Me The Night (George Benson)

Just One Of Those Things (George Benson)

Off Broadway (George Benson)
