Happy Valentine's Day, dear listeners! For this year, we wanted to do something VERY special for our listeners. So, we gave you a murder-bride episode! Trust me, it will all make sense when you listen. Join Dani, Gracie, and Tiffany as they discuss scary potatoes, how much they hate Bryan, and a tale as old as time...scorned brides seek revenge against the horrible men they were set to marry.
Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Settle in with your favorite dinosaur-themed mug and wipe that murder board clean because today's episode is all about a wholesome friendship! Sure, we might talk about murder boards and impersonation/identity theft but that's just because we have an amazingly talented guest joining the group today as author of Hello, Transcriber, Hannah Morrissey brings Andrew and Dani a pitch about a best friend who just can't seem to catch that ...

Get ready folks, because on this week's episode we are going to steal the Alien Baby of Independence. Okay, not really. We actually just get really into Gracie's positivity on Instagram, struggle with movies about animal liberation, and discuss what would happen if Nicolas Cage is asked to take an alien baby across the country. It's a normal Tuesday on Can We Save the Cat?

This week on Can We Save the Cat, it's all about the egg, baby! Okay, well, not really. It's ashes and it's not the ENTIRE episode. This week, the writer's room of Bryan, Dani, and Justin discuss being home alone, an infamous Risky Business scene, and a story about a couple of schmucks who can't help but get in way over their heads.

Happy Charlotte's Web week on Can We Save the Cat! Okay, it's not really but you would think it was based on the way Andrew, Bryan, and Dani talked this week.

It's...ThanksTAAAKIIING!!!

Well, talk about misleading episode titles! This pitch might actually be more terrifying than our Halloween episode! This is one for the creep-out books as Andrew, Dani, and Tiffany join the writer's room to talk the BFF After School Program (it's gonna be a thing, people), Dani's lack of 90s technology knowledge, and a genuinely creepy pitch about a girl who just wants to reconnect with her mother and the woman who ...
