A hypothetical film podcast.
Pitch Shift is a movies/music podcast where two writers pitch feature films based on songs you know and love. Featuring everything from schlocky creature-features, Disney animations, Animal Crossing neo-noir, and Point Break But With Werewolves, there is no dumb idea Tansy and Charles won’t take way too far.
Broadcasting during quarantine on the land of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, and the land of the Wiradjuri people.
Right Back Where We Started From (Maxine Nightingale) with Lucinda
It's all right and it's coming along, it wasn't 2020 when she wrote this song...

You Ruined The 1975 (Lizzy McAlpine)
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!
