You might not know songwriter Diane Warren, but u for sure know her songs - 'Don't Wanna Miss a Thing'! 'If I Could Turn Back Time'! etc etc ! And you might also know her as the most Oscar-nominated woman in history without a win.

Memed for her schmaltzy one-size-fits-all romantic ballads and perceived desperation to win a stupid lil statue, Diane is actually a goddamn legend and this episode is a deep dive into why.

How much does asexuality and autism influence her insanely prolific discography? What Best Original Song Oscar did she TOTAlly deserve to win ? All this stuff n much more, as we randomly spotlight a showbiz striver who should really get her flowers at this point.
