I listen to a lot of screenplay podcasts, but this one is by far my favorite. Hilarious, honest, friendly, informative, and encouraging. Tasha and Josh are so relatable and real with their successes and struggles in the craft. If you are either just starting your screenwriting career or in your second act, this is the podcast for you.
Thanks for being awesome and open, Tasha and Josh!
The hosts Tasha and Josh have superpowers and they use them for good.
There are a lot of pretentious screenwriting podcasts out there. You know the kind I’m talking about — where guys with no credits explain how Goodfellas would have been better without VO narration?

This episode was so wonderful. Your draft pick THE CONJURING got completely disses, but it’s all good lol. I really enjoyed this and took away some films to watch and revisit, especially THE INVITATION. One of my favorite contained films is Graham Moore’s THE OUTFIT, definitely a ‘didn’t see that coming!’ Shout out to Josh and Dave for letting us feel like we are sitting on the couch talking with you guys! Cheers.
