    Tangent 9: Jean Valjean, the Cat

    Okay, this episode was definitely supposed to be about Cats, but it's not my fault that Jamison said what he said about you know what... Today's Tangents: Les Misérables. That's it. This podcast was basically just Les Misérables. The Podcast Recommends: Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) Patriot Les Misérables (2012) Keep in touch at thetangentcast@gmail.com or (479)339-9051.

    Tangent 5: The One Where They Write a Sitcom

    After taking a good long look at the data, the numbers speak for themselves: we missed our chance of success a decade ago, when we were not stars of a hit sitcom in the mid to late 2000s. However, the mere linearity of time will not stand in the way of our determination to achieve podcast fame. Today's Tangents: The Iron Giant Manga, #thetangentcastisoverparty, We're sorry Zach Braff, The S.S.S. (Seinfeld Space Station), Generic Sitcom Plot Creator, Isaac gets way to excited about the DMV, and more. The Podcast Recommends: Call a loved one! Write a sitcom! Wear a mask! Next week, we'll be doing a script read of the first episode of our sitcom! We will attach a link to the script in next week's show notes. Get in touch at thetangentcast@gmail.com or (479)339-9051.
