About Rankle & Taint
Quick and Endless
In about five minutes, one basic female and one basic male bang through universal
relationship issues that end right where they begin.
You and Me and Everybody Else
This Flash series gripes on the web with lots of grunts and groans, but without a single
spoken word. So everybody in the world gets it and can write in their troubles.
Location, Location, Location
Every episode argues through a different exotic location that is really a domestic set.
A jungle is an entry way, a desert is a bed, a lagoon is a bath tub. Any location will do -
from atop the Eiffel tower, to inside a rickshaw, to the confines of an igloo.
Ready Set
Twelve scripts, six story boards, over 1,500 body parts, a few hundred sound files, and one
finished pilot. Let's go.
